Crist Having His Balls Twisted

J.J. Jackson* | June 23, 2008  |

Gov. Charlie Crist (R - FL) has been dead set against drilling off the Florida coast for oil. But times are a changing. There is an old saying that when you have someone by the nuts that their heart and mind will soon follow. Well, the voters have Crist’s balls firmly in hand and are twisting – hard.

A report on his “change of heart”:

WASHINGTON — The environmental movement, only recently poised for major advances on global warming and other issues, has suddenly found itself on the defensive as high gasoline prices shift the political climate nationwide and trigger defections by longtime supporters.

Opposition to offshore drilling — once ironclad in places like California and Florida — has begun to soften. Gov. Charlie Crist of Florida on Tuesday eased his opposition to new energy exploration off the coast.

“Floridians are suffering, and when you’re paying over $4 a gallon for gas, you have to wonder whether there might be additional resources that we might be able to utilize to bring that price down,” said Crist, a Republican.

What leadership! Please note my sarcasm when I say that too!

This is the problem that got us into the situation of $4 a gallon for gasoline – populism. It was “popular” to not drill. When what we really needed was leadership. Sadly there isn’t much of that coming on the horizon by the looks of things.

On topic and intelligent comments are always welcome as are humorous observations. But liberal talking points with no basis in reality, off topic comments, spam and advertisements are not. Even though you may think you are an intelligent liberal, you probably are not. Keep this in mind as trolling is prohibited and will result in your comments not being approved and comments informing us how much we are a bunch of idiots because you say we are or espousing hate towards the truth are often moved directly to the official “I Hate You/You’re An Idiot” thread. Save us all the time and post there directly if you have a comment that would meet those criteria. Commenters reserve the right to mock claims about how liberal ideas, such as higher taxes, actually work and how conservative and right wingers, are NAZIs, racists, sexists, etc. and will do so with great regularity.
