Crist aptly re-creates a scene from “Lord of the Flies.” (reuters photo)
Oh, Florida Republican leaders! Really? CNN reports that 20 of them wrote to Charlie Crist demanding a full refund on years of supporting his campaigns:
“As longtime and loyal contributors to Republican causes and your many campaigns, this letter is not easy for us to write,” the 20 Republicans say, “But your actions have forced us to take action.
“We are both saddened and disappointed in your decision to abandon the Republican Party during this important election.”
They added, “[f]or years we have put our names and credibility on the line by asking our friends to donate to you. Those days are over.”
The letter goes on to ask that Crist “return every penny of donor money from every donor who asks for a refund,” beginning with the individual contributions to Crist’s Senate campaign made by signatories to the letter.
After noting that Crist has campaign war chest estimated at more than $7 million, the letter declares, “Charlie, that is not your money.”
What a stunt! We actually feel bad for Crist right now.
