Charlie Crist Is NOT Gay
And other things the Republican Party wants you to believe on Election Day.

We hear that Charlie Crist is gay.

There's no proof that he is. In fact, Crist, the Republican candidate for governor and the current state attorney general, has repeatedly denied it.

But professional muckrakers have burned fistfuls of campaign money trying to prove it. His political opponents have tried to score points by alluding to it. And it seems that everyone who follows politics in Florida discusses it more or less openly. The rumors have multiplied and overgrown his political career like kudzu, and though they haven't slowed Charlie Crist's rise to power, they have shaped it every step of the way.

But Florida politicians and the media who cover them have avoided making Charlie Crist's sexuality a story. Except for rare moments, the rumors that so frequently get mentioned in political company stay out of the public record.

For several weeks, for example, a man who has known Crist for 25 years and for much of that time worked with him in the Republican Party has been saying publicly that Crist is not a heterosexual.

1. I wish the Palm Beach Post and other FLA papers begin....

running stories to take Crist out of the closet. That will keep the social "conservatives" home on election day.

4. He is a closet gay. Hey, I live in Florida and EVERYONE

knows that Crist and Foley are gay. Randi Rhodes who lives part-time in Florida said that Crist and Foley used to go to Coconut Grove, FL (the Las Vegas of the East) together, although they are NOT partners.

Crist is knows as "Tallahassee Lassie" here. Wait until the Fundies wake up.

With the change in polls, maybe they did.
