| LGBT-rights group Equality Florida Action PAC endorses Democrat Charlie Crist for governor |
| 2014-06-14 |
| [MIAMIHERALD.TYPEPAD] The largest gay-rights groups in Florida and the nation endorsed Democrat Charlie Crist ... Formerly the Republican governor of Florida, now reinvented as a Democrat party hack... on Thursday, a turnaround for the former Republican governor who once helped enshrine a same-sex marriage ban in the state's constitution. In accepting the support of Equality Florida Action PAC and the Washington-based Human Rights Campaign, Crist pledged to pressure Florida's Republican attorney general, Pam Bondi, to stop fighting a lawsuit seeking to overturn the same-sex marriage ban voters approved in 2008 by 62 percent. "I think it's important to be able to use the influence of the office of governor in a positive, effective way," Crist said, "and encourage the attorney general, No. 1, to get rid of these lawsuits -- I think it's a waste of time." "No. 2," Crist said, "there's a bully pulpit that comes with the office of governor. And I think you can appeal to the people of Florida to maybe call the attorney general and ask her to get rid of these lawsuits and let individuals in the state of Florida live their lives and keep your nose out of their private life." |

| #7 Lesson learned: never trust right-wing Conservative dipshits. Nice try. This cluster F* was brought to you courtesy of the left-wing dipshits in the White House. Back to communist propaganda 101 for you. |

| #6 "We've got thousands of U.S. personnel potentially trapped in Iraq, blah-blah" Why is it that anything Americans touch turns in a serious clusterfuck. According to your hero Dick Cheney, I thought the Iraq engagement was supposed to only last three weeks. Lesson learned: never trust right-wing Conservative dipshits. |

| #4 So much of what goes on in Washington and is reported by the MSM is a circle jerk. If a slow period continues in the news, we will be getting more stories on Bruce Jenner's hair styling or Kim Kardashian's bum. |
