Charlie Crist: GOP may be exaggerating voter fraud
Crist: GOP may be exaggerating voter fraud
The Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida's governor says his fellow Republicans may be exaggerating claims of voter fraud in the state.

Gov. Charlie Crist said Wednesday that he has confidence in Secretary of State Kurt Browning, who says there's only been a scattering of isolated incidents.

Crist said in the closing days of any campaign "there are some who sort of enjoy chaos." There may be more of that going on than fraud, he said.

The Republican National Committee and GOP presidential candidate John McCain have accused an activist group of fraudulently registering people in Florida and other states. It has focused on young people, minorities and others seen as more likely to support Democrat Barack Obama.

This statement after the "don't call me Johnny Mac, i'll call you" comment last week...
Crist is definitely off the McCrypt reservation.

3. They're sinking! Every man for himself! Florida is going Obama, and Crist knows it.
He's saving his political future.

4. Jesus H on a soda cracker - would people get "voter fraud" and "registration fraud" right?
Not you - and if Crist actually said "voter fraud" then he's an idiot. A GOVERNOR should know the difference and spewing the wrong word is propaganda.

9. If the repubs weren't so homophobic, mcRacist could have chosen Crist.
And if he had, we might have been looking at a different fight. Instead, mcRacist had to appeal to the knuckledraggers and chose palin.

Charlie Crist just got married! His wife is really pretty too. Looks a lot like Katie Holmes.

11. If they have one crumb of evidence
then press charges
otherwise
these repukes ought to STFU.
They got nothing but the bluster of their own voices.
And that's a whole lot of nada.

15. I think this is payback for picking Palin over him for VP...he's wanted that
since he was sworn in as Governor. I think he had a special VP tan all picked out.

BTW, if you don't know about Charlie and his love for the tanning bed, he looks orange sometimes. I remember during the Charlie, Frances, Ivan and Jean hurricanes in '04 he was always standing behind Jeb and all you saw was his white hair, orange skin, and his eyes...really freaky!!

19. There's one case of Florida "voter" fraud that we know of---- her name is Ann Coulter.
And the perp walked away. IOKIYAR. (*It's OK if you are Republican.*)

Ann Coulter Pulls Strings To Weasel Out Of Voter Fraud Charges, May 12, 2007


FBI agent who interceded in Coulter voter fraud case alleged to be her former boyfriend, May 11, 2007



Are we surprised at this outcome? :eyes:

22.  Ahh...the usual delusion and screw the citizen rhetoric
"This just goes to show you how the GOP devolve into their own self-interests every time, instead of like the Democrats who march lock-step to the message."

"Crist voters have long memorys,you want to run for President someday? Go get rid of the fraud. I don’t care its isolated it cancels someone elses vote."

What kind of powerful mind altering drugs do these crazies abuse?
