RPOF: Crist Puts 'Appeasing Washington Buddies' Above Florida

The Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) continues to slam former Gov. Charlie Crist, looking to link him to President Barack Obamas health-care law. On Friday, the RPOF insisted Crist is more concerned with appeasing liberal allies than the needs of Floridians. Despite spending most of his political career as a Republican, Crist is the favorite for the Democratic nomination to challnge Gov. Rick Scott in November.

"While Obamacare continues to be 'a huge liability' for Democrats, the human cost of Obamacare is the most significant liability, said Lenny Curry, the chairman of the RPOF, on Friday morning. Floridians will be forced to pay more for their insurance, while losing their doctors they like and insurance plans they wanted to keep. The fact that Charlie Crist continues to embrace Obamacare shows that he's more interested in appeasing his Washington buddies than doing what's right for the people of Florida."
