What a liar!

Bigots 'big reason' he left GOP, Florida's Crist says

He left because he was getting trounced by Rubio. He discovered "racism" in the party after the polls showed him trailing Rubio by 20 points. What a lying piece of crap!

-----------------------------------------------------

Democrat Charlie Crist is offering up a new and inflammatory reason he left the GOP: Too many Republicans oppose President Barack Obama because he's black.

Crist's remarks, made on Tuesday in an interview with Fusion's Jorge Ramos, instantly drew rebukes from Republicans who said the party-switching former governor was playing the race card.

But Crist said the bigotry against Obama was a "big reason" for his decision to leave the party.

"I couldn't be consistent with myself and my core beliefs, and stay with a party that was so unfriendly toward the African-American president — I'll just go there," Crist said. "I was a Republican and I saw the activists and what they were doing. It was intolerable to me."

Ramos said Crist left the GOP to run as an independent because he was losing the 2010 Senate Republican primary to Marco Rubio. But Crist denied it.

Crist has made race an on-again and off-again theme as he campaigns to get his old job back as a Democrat, his third party affiliation. When he left the GOP four years ago, he never mentioned race.

"Being a flip-flopper is bad enough, but playing the race card to win over voters is pitiful," said Izzy Santa, Republican National Committee spokeswoman.

Crist, saying he was "liberated as a Democrat," also bashed the GOP for being too inflexible and for appearing to be "anti-women, anti-immigrant, anti-minority (and) anti-gay."

What we know and what we don't

News conference right after the Benghazi attack on September 11, 2012.

(If video won't load click post title)

Video 67

"Make no mistake we will work with the Libyan government to bring to justice the killers who attacked our people"

It's been almost 2 years now, and even though various network reporters have interviewed some of the perpetrators, (some even bragged about it), there has not been one arrest except for the guy who shot the video.

Why is that?

To this day we don't know Barry's whereabouts when the Benghazi attack unfolded.

Later Barry, with the help of the media, was able to take the IRS scandal, Rosen wiretapping, and Benghazi mix them all together and rebrand them as "phony scandals" . Of course the media sat by again and did nothing. What's phony about 4 dead Americans? Everyday more leaks come out solidifying this was a cover up from the get go. How could we as a nation allow 4 Americans to die without lifting a finger?

Probably the most telling was this:

The very next day after the attack he flew to Las Vegas for a fundraiser. What does that say about the man?

Bet this is the case in the other "56" states

Only half of Georgia Obamacare enrollees have paid premiums

Another issue for Barry is claiming 8 million have enrolled in ObamaCare. How many of those purported 8 million are comprised of the 6 million who had their insurance cancelled?

Do the math.

The premise of ObamaCare was to cover the 35 million uninsured. Add the 6 million who were cancelled puts us at 41 million minus 8 million who signed up gives us a total of 39 million uninsured and the employer mandate hasn't kicked in yet!

------------------------------------------------------------------

If you believe the numbers coming out of the Obama administration, some 222,000 people in Georgia "enrolled" into health plans on the federal Obamacare exchange. Only they didn't. Turns out that about half of those people have actually paid their insurance premiums:

Georgia insurers received more than 220,000 applications for health coverage in the Affordable Care Act's exchange as of the official federal deadline of March 31, state officials said Wednesday.

Insurance Commissioner Ralph Hudgens, though, said premiums have been received for only 107,581 of those policies, which cover 149,465 people.

"Many Georgians completed the application process by the deadline, but have yet to pay for the coverage," Hudgens said in a statement Wednesday.

March 31 was the official deadline for individuals to get insurance coverage or face a financial penalty under the ACA. Yet because of the deluge of last-minute shoppers, federal officials relaxed the rules for those who reported having trouble with the exchange, and gave them into this week to sign up.

Given that extra time, there have presumably been more Georgians both signing up and paying for their premiums in April. They would not be included in the figures released Wednesday.

Not to worry. Look for Barry to deduct the premium from their paycheck... just like SS.
