A Tale of Two Elections

2012:

2008:

How far to the right has the New Confederate/ Rethuglican Party careened in the last four years? Ask Former Florida Republican Governor Charlie Christ, who endorsed Sen. John McCain in 2008, campaigning for President Obama today in Seminole, Florida. (Top: Chris O'Meara, AP; bottom: Charles Dharapak, AP)

Payback's A Beotch

Florida Rethug Gov. Charlie Crist has decided to extend voting hours in Florida an extra 4 hours a day to allow for the increased number of voters. Florida Rethuglicans are angry, because limiting/suppressing the vote is to the Rethugs' advantage. Typically, the greater the turnout, the better for Democrats. Crist was on McSleazy's short list for VP candidates, but was passed up for the eminently qualified former mayor of Wasilla, Alaska. Ouch!!

Looks like Charlie's sending McSleazy a message: "So you think Alaska's more important than Florida? See ya November 4!"

The Tanned and Lovely Gov. Crist

Pandagon has this piece on possible McBush running mate Gov. Charlie "Eat Your Heart Out, Man-Tan Boehner!" Crist. As the piece notes, rumors have been flying for some time about Crist (but then, so have rumors about Rethug Sen. Lindsey Graham, Sen. Mitch McConnell, Rep. Patrick McHenry, etc., etc.). Hackwhackers, being non-judgemental about matters of personal sexuality, hasten to add: "Not that there's anything wrong with it!"

What is wrong is the hypocrisy, not to mention the notion that it would be more to his credit for Crist to be noodling with a married woman than to be gay. What a sewer these people live in!
