Crist Not Foley Roommate

Contrary to rumors flying in the Mark Foley scandal, GOP gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist said Tuesday that no, he didn't share a Tallahassee apartment with Foley during legislative sessions when both were serving in the Florida Senate.

That is a BOLD face lie! Adam, Joni and Steve you need to do a little bit of research i.e. maybe talk to anyone that was in Tallahassee at the time and you can call him on this lie. I even think Mike Fassano was a roomate (however I am not positive)

Alright you Dailykos morons, Blog away because in a little over a month you will be wondering why the "idiot voters" rejected democrats yet again.

Fasano Foley and Crist

I bet those 3 had some fun.

Crist was the Indian

Fasano was the Construction Worker

Foley was the police man

This is a fib. I cant understand this one. If I remember correctly Foley and Crist have even made reference to it at different events. Charlie may not have been on any of the bills but he lived there.

the tenth lie in a series from the davis campaign.

time period on when Crist,Foley, Fasano allegedlly were roommates, please?

4:25 look up Foley's bio and see when he served in the State Leg and match those with Crist and Fassano. One word: GOOGLE!!!

4:21--dream on.

Depends on what your definition of roommate is, is.

OK Bill Clinton.

Fasano was elected in '94...and I think Foley was elected in '94 to congress

You left wing fringe conspiracy instagators sure hate the TRUTH.

FBI and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement were beginning preliminary investigations to determine whether he broke any laws.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is assisting the Federal Bureau of Investigation in its inquiry into former congressman Mark Foley's e-mail exchanges with underaged congressional pages.

DeLuise said Attorney General Charlie Crist's office has also offered the help of its Child Protection Cybercrime Unit.

I remember Crist and Foley rooming together in Tallahassee during the 1993 session. I would stake my life on it.

You'll stake your life on it but not print your name ... whatever.

So what if they were roomates?

4:51 sounds like your are about to jump of a bridge because guess what, YOU ARE WRONG!, enough with your
fringe lie instagating.

I recall a sitting dem. senator who killed someone and another who used to be the head of the kkk.

Wasnt there also a dem congressman who slept with a teenage boy who refused to resign and his party supported him?

would someone please explain why this makes any difference at all.

So what if they were room-mates?

and I'm supposed to believe Charlie Crist? please. this man who won't to b truthful to the people of Florida.

Why does Charlie hate Florida so badly?

No kidding. Who cares if he was roommates with Foley. I had many roommates in my late teens thru mid twenties. I cant tell you how weird many were, and I didnt care to know what they were involved in.

That said, if Crist really did room with Foley, he would say it. Lying would only make him look horrible and untrustworthy when it came out that he lied. You know the liberal media would find out if he was lying. So my analysis is that he is telling the truth.

Charie just did the dumbest thing a politician can do - he lied. Once you get caught, and he will, it is all over. The voters won't be able to trust him. And if they can't trust him , they can't vote for him.

Charlie - I thought you were at least smarter than that.

will charlie crist become florida's first gay governor?

Why are you so surprised? Charlie has lied his whole life - its who and what he is.

Why has Charlie forsaken the children of Florida?

5:20 you sure are DUMB!. What the matter just can't accept the TRUTH. Jeeeezzzzzzz get a clue and get some sense.

5:23 see 5:24 comment, it literally gives bloggers a headache to read rantings of idiots like yourself. At least pretend to have some intelligence.

Charlie Crist and Mark Foley were both elected to the Florida Senate in 1992. Foley was then elected to Congress in 1994. Fasano was elected to the state house in 1994 - he could not have roomed with Foley.

It is technically possible for Crist and Foley to have been roommates during the 1993 and 1994 Legislative Sessions.

Charlie has always lied ... and now ABC is reporting that our Republican legislator was having IT sex while waiting to vote for emergency WAR Appropriations -

This message was dated April 2003, at approximately 7 p.m., according to the message time stamp.

Maf54: I miss you
Teen: ya me too
Maf54: we are still voting
Maf54: you miss me too

The exchange continues in which Foley and the teen both appear to describe having sexual orgasms.

Maf54: ok..i better go vote..did you know you would have this effect on me
Teen: lol I guessed
Teen: ya go vote…I don't want to keep you from doing our job
Maf54: can I have a good kiss goodnight
Teen: :-*
Teen:

The House voted that evening on HR 1559, Emergency War Time supplemental appropriations.

Wasn't that around the same time that Crist was accused of paternity???

5:24, please explain how Foley being Crist's roomate in 1994 makes any difference. Please provide specifics.

Republicans lie and cheat and steal

now the esteemed Republican House Leader Denny Hastert is blaming not only Democrats, but HE'S BLAMING THE KIDS TOO!

SPEAKER HASTERT: There were two pieces of paper out there, one that we knew about and we acted on; one that happened in 2003 we didn't know about, but somebody had it, and, you know, they're trying -- and they drop it the last day of the session, you know, before we adjourn on an election year. Now, we took care of Mr. Foley. We found out about it, asked him to resign. He did resign. He's gone. We asked for an investigation. We've done that. We're trying to build better protections for these page programs.
But, you know, this is a political issue in itself, too, and what we've tried to do as the Republican Party is make a better economy, protect this country against terrorism -- and we've worked at it ever since 9/11, worked with the president on it -- and there are some people that try to tear us down. We are the insulation to protect this country, and if they get to me it looks like they could affect our election as well.

it's so much fun to see all this lying hypocritical republican trash scrambling for cover.

THEY LIVED TOGETHER ... and both are "metro men" and God knows what else they shared.

5:29

If Charlie's not lying, then it doesn't matter at all, does it?

But, if Charlie did lie, well, it doesn't matter then either. All that will matter is that Charlie lied.

WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY IT MAKES ANY DIFFERENCE THAT CRIST AND FOLEY SHARED AN APARTMENT IN TALLAHASSEE 14 YEARS AGO??????????

WHAT ARE YOU SUGGESTING? WHAT AM I MISSING?

5:39, nice try it didn't happen. And if it did, it wouldn't matter other than the fact it would be used for political purposes. If people really thought about it, it wouldn't matter, but for election purposes, it would be used as headline material.

4:51, on your way to the bridge could you please stop by and invite some of your fellow "conspiracy theory UFO IDIOTs" to join you. There sure are some stupid poeple out there that just cant handle the truth that debunks their nonsense. 5:30, 5:32, please get away from the computer and for heavens sakes..GET HELP!. You take away from the credibilty of trying to read the blogs for intelligent communications!

5:46 amen, no wonder the democrats have such a hard time winning, its the party of the mentally unstable.

hey 5:46 - Denny Hastert is now blaming the kids...."they're out to get me! oh no"

tuning in for the foley attorney press conference - what will he say? who will he implicate?

HEY,

I THOUGHT CRIST WAS KATHERINE HARRIS' ROOMATE BACK THEN

He's gonna say stuff that takes down the entire republican leadership....

"I did not have sexual relations with that page"

Or, some bizarre health diagnosis

Or that he is on suicide watch

Molested by a priest and he is a gay man

Democrats are the "party of the mentally unstable"?

What planet have YOU been living on for the last 5 days? I'm pretty sure it was a Repugnican former congressman who checked into rehab this weekend for his previously unknown alochoholism. Or was it for his pedophilia.

BTW, Isn't Kooky Katherine a Repugnican? Talk about mentally unstable. Man we Dems have NOTHING on you guys.

acknowledges and accepts full responsibility

I'd like to add that its time the Republican leadership takes full responsibility for their ineptedness as "keepers of the house"

gee, what's this attorney's definition of "minor"?

Research documents that peds like young boys (or girls depending on their leanings) primarily pre-puberty. In general, they are not turned on by mature persons. So get a life all of you paranoid conspiracy theorists. There is no way that Mark Foley would have found an adult Charlie Christ sexually appealing.
