" Rep. Kendrick Meek Calls Crist The ‘George Wallace’ Of Gay Adoptions


Governor Charlie Crist (I) tried to run away from his support for Florida’s ban against gay adoption during yesterday’s ABC Florida senate debate, portraying himself a social moderate who only supported the ban because it was the law of the state. But during a heated exchange in the last minutes of the three-way debate between Crist, Rep. Kendrick Meek (D-FL) and Marco Rubio (R), Meek likened Crist to former Alabama Governor George Wallace and said that he stood in the way of sensible adoption policies:



CRIST: When I was saying that it wasn’t appropriate to have that adoption, it was because that was the law in the books in our state. I was the Attorney General of Florida. I understand enforcing the law and respecting it….I’m a live and let live kind of guy…I am a fiscal conservative and a social moderate. I really believe in less government and more freedom. I don’t want to impose my will on other people. <...>


MEEK: It’s really mind boggling. It’s beyond an explanation for the governor to stand here and do more than a Potomac two-step. I mean, he is saying that he was the, how do you say, the Governor Wallace when he came down on gay adoptions in the state. For all of the kids in foster care right now that are looking for home, he stood — he said he thought it was inappropriate. When he ran against Jim Davis in ‘96 — I mean, ‘06, he said that Jim Davis didn’t have the values that he possessed. That’s not, that’s not in the state statute. That’s his opinion.

1. If Florida wants to rebuild after the clean up, the only party is Democrats instead of the time...

wasters. GOP are the party of horror and drill baby drill. Florida will have more wealth if they have a candidate that nutures needs. Dems have the policies to generate wealth as putting money in peoples pockets brings in trade, and Florida needs trade not more bozos going the wrong way. It's reaction and no comtemplation and how it all works, absorb facts not fear THEN vote. To be fair Crist seems a nice enough guy for a conservative, but only a Dem can pull things back always have,,,, always will.

3. Yup, If you enjoy having bluedogs in the senate squashing the Democratic agenda ...
then consider voting for Christ, otherwise check off your ballot for the man with a (D) after his name, Kendrick Meek.
