Crist seeks 'pro-life' label in Fla. Senate race

[ccharles000]

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Gov. Charlie Crist is saying he'll fight for "pro-life" legislation if he's elected to the U.S. Senate after opposing changes to abortion laws during his run for governor.

His campaign said Friday the "pro-life" legislation that Crist would support includes seeking federal tax credits for families who adopt. The campaign wouldn't say if he'd seek abortion restrictions.

Four years ago, Crist said he wanted to change hearts, not abortion laws.

Crist is a populist governor and moderate Republican who is describing himself as a solid conservative now that is he's lost significant ground to former House Speaker Marco Rubio in the Republican primary.

1. Rubio is also "pro-life" right?

Given the choice between a repuke who actually is pro-life, and one who's changing his position in a campaign to get votes, I'll take the one who's just giving the required repuke lip service to the issue. In either case, if they can elect a Democrat, it won't matter. As repukes go, Crist isn't as bad as most, though I still wouldn't vote for him over any Democrat (if I were from Florida).

2. At this point...

He is willing to say or do anything to win. I don't believe that Florida Republican voters will fall for it, so he may get his ass handed to him.

3. How many executions have occurred on his watch?

Ah .... but poor minority men dont count as "life" to the GOP.
