FL: Crist, Rubio, Meek all make list of watchdog group’s most “Crooked Candidates”

July 22nd, 2010 · 4 Comments

Darcy Richardson writes at Uncovered Politics:

Floridians might need a lantern when looking for an honest candidate for the U.S. Senate this year, according to the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW).

The bright Florida sunlight might not be enough to find one.

In the eyes of the widely-respected watchdog group, three of the nation’s eleven most ethically challenged candidates are vying for the U.S. Senate in Florida. Democrat Kendrick Meek, Republican Marco Rubio, and Gov. Charlie Crist, who’s running as an independent, all made the organization’s list of “Crooked Candidates” running in 2010.

Libertarian Alex Snitker is also in the race.

    More excellent reasons to donate to the campaign of Alex Snitker, the Libertarian Party candidate and to vote for him. See his website: http://www.snitker2010.com

    I also read some awful things about the CP nominee. If true, he milks his non-profits for a ton and even cheated his own mother. That would make 4 of the 5 people in the race fairly suspect. Politics… you gotta love it!

    Wait till the full story on Snitker and John Wayne Smith and Ellen Paul comes out.
