Rubio Says Crist is Backing Off Support for Bush Tax Cuts

Likely Republican U.S. Senate nominee Marco Rubios campaign team sent out a release on Wednesday morning noting that independent rival Gov. Charlie Crists website removed statements claiming Crist would continue supporting tax cuts backed by President George W. Bush in his first term.

If Charlie Crist no longer supports making the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts permanent, he should tell Floridians immediately, said Alex Burgos, a spokesman for Rubio, in the release. Crists daily flip-flops are putting Floridians in the difficult position of trying to discern what his campaign is actually about. However, one thing in this race is clear: Marco Rubio is the only candidate who will act as a check-and-balance against the anti-jobs policies coming out of Washington and provide a clear, conservative alternative.
