Charlie Crist's wife loses custody of two teenage daughters

[Trajan]

22. You aren't 'repsonsible' for your spouse's actions or character, etc ?

You are right, you are not directly 'repsonsible' for the actions of a spouse ....

However, we are responsible for how WE act, and what WE do, and that includes who we choose to associate with ...

Mr. Crist, who has designs on national office, will be rightly evaluated by voters for his suitability to hold high office, and those who value 'family values' will question his choice to associate himself with a women who has abandoned her own children ...

Those who value personal integrity and personal responsibility will question how a man of outstanding personal integrity can stand by and tolerate parental abandonment of his own stepdaughters ....

Yeah ... He is not directly responsible for the behavior of his fancy new wife, but he IS responsible for his own relationships with persons of questionable character .... Don't think he gets a free pass on these questions - He is the girls Father In Law ... We assume responsibility for our children when we choose to have them - We dont shirk that responsibility for our own convenience ...

I know little about Charlie Crist, beyond the petty state politics in Florida, but this much I do know - I would NOT vote for him if I knew he supported child abandonment ....

Signed,
Child of Abandoning Father
