“He never met a tax increase he liked. … The Charlie Crist I knew idolized Ronald Reagan and embraced Reagan’s view of limited government. He was pro-life, pro-gun and vehemently anti-tax. He believed big government was the enemy of success, and that when government taxed it took ‘your money.’“-Former Senator George LeMieux, former Crist Chief of Staff

The Republican Party of Florida, who has finally grown a pair this year, as opposed to past years, offered this statement in regards to Crist’s admission that he would raise taxes.“With today’s admission from Charlie Crist that he would raise taxes again if he’s elected Governor, Floridians know without a doubt that we can’t afford to go back to a tax-raising, debt-increasing, Obamacare-embracing opportunist like Charlie.”-Susan Hepworth, RPOF Press Secretary
