PoliticsOne.com reports:

How interested is Florida Governor Charlie Crist in being John McCain's VP runningmate? So much so that veteran GOP dirty trickster Roger Stone -- who coordinated a few dirty stunts in support of Crist during the 2006 gubernatorial campaign -- is quietly peddling a so-called "Charlie Crist sex tape." That's what Stone called it during a telephone conversation. And no, it is not a tape of Crist having sex with a guy. In fact, it isn't even X-rated. The video was seemingly staged to kill the rumors that Crist is gay. Stone claims the tape -- which he discussed recently with Politics1, but didn't show to us ("I'm saving it for the national shows") -- "shows Charlie fooling around in a hotel elevator with his girlfriend ... They're making out." Adds Stone: "It was captured on a security camera in the elevator" last month. And Stone just conveniently happens to have a copy of the hotel's elevator surveillance tape, just when Crist's name is in play for the VP spot. Hmm. As for Crist's purported girlfriend -- presuming it is the same one he took as his date to the White House Correspondents Dinner in DC a few weeks ago -- she's still married (and not to Crist). Disclaimer: Always be skeptical of anything from Stone.

1. The thing is they created this nightmare of joining forces with Christian

fundies.. and now, they have to hide behind a platitude of "leave it to beaver" style lives.. Wouldn't it be something if McCain is selected and becomes unable to continue with duties and we ended up with a Gay President..

2. An out gay president would at least promote diversity

A closeted gay president...not so much.

[glowing]

6. Yeah, but everyone knows Crist is gay. I don't know why we are all supposed

to pretend like we don't know and he's supposed to pretend like he isn't.. Its stupid.

[nxylas]

8. It doesn't matter if everyone knows if he won't admit it

I don't know much about Crist, but closeted gays tend to be the worst sort of homophobe.

17. I agree.. and its stupid to pretend.. It actually goes to show how much its

all a pretense.. they set him up like a perusing bachelor.. so they can keep the "gay" thing in the closet.. its stupid.. and its sad.. and its pathetic.

3. The notion of a "make out tape",

is soooo wrong on soooo many levels. First of which being that it proves absolutely NOTHING about sexual orientation but does demonstrate a lot of hypocrisy. Its more important to look like a duck, sound like a duck than to actually be a duck.

4. So being gay is worse than being an adulterer?

which technically he is if he is sleeping with a married woman, even if she is the process of getting a divorce or whatever.

That's some pretty skewed family values, even for the GOP.

Of course for Republicans being gay IS worse than cheating.

They make my head hurt.

7. oh, during the gov run, they ran reports of an illigitimate daughter by Crist..

Normally, that would be something that sinks a candidate.. but in Crist's case it was better to have an illigitimate daughter somewhere; rather than be gay. Quite disturbing how these asshats think. AND even if he did have an illigitimate daughter with someone from his past before doesn't make him any less gay.. Just makes him a Gay father.

5. Oh my God. How fucked-up is THIS? LOL!

9. The GOP's biggest problem: the internets always remembers...

...your truthiness encyclopedia has all the images you need to see of Charlie Crist (and a page to boot!)

This is Charlie with a woman!

This is Charlie with Mark Foley, who is also not gay

This is a party for Charlie.

This is Jason, he doesn't know Charlie.


Hey, GOP: you've been Orwelled!

10. His married "girlfriend"..a beard???

13. "Attorney General under Governor Jeb Bush..."

That's a mental picture I didn't need. :puke:

[Freddie Stubbs]

14. They are elected seperately

Crist very different than Jeb Bush.

Bush is much like his brother, taking an "I know what's best" attitude regardless of what others believe. He differs from his brother in that he has an attention for detail and is an articulate speaker.

Crist appears to have no core beliefs, simply doing whatever the polls tell him to do.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

16. .......

:rofl:

[originalpckelly]

12. You know, I think it's physically possible for a gay man to make out with a woman.

I might be wrong, but I seem to remember being fairly good at that thing before I turned to the gayside of the force.

[NYCGirl]

18. Shhhhh....you'll break the GOP's heart.

Oh wait, the GOP doesn't have any.

[npincus]

15. thereis a lot on the Internets about Crist being gay

wanted to post but didn't want to offend. Of course, being gay is as natural as being sttraight, but lving in a closet and supporting policies which condemn others like you is NOT.
