What do you do when you’ve completely sold out all of your principles and received absolutely nothing in return? Well, you become even more entrenched in your hypocritical idiocy, and slander everything you once said you stood for. This is the route you take if you’re Charlie Crist, anyways.

Of course, everything Crist said in that ad was a complete lie. He used to love Sarah Palin. He once called himself a Reagan Republican. And he used to be pro-life. Hot Air has video evidence of all of this, proving (as if anyone had any doubt) that Charlie Crist is a man with no principles desperate to further his own career at any cost.

He was on Fox this morning making a fool out of himself as usual (hat tip to Cubachi for the video). My favorite part is when he gets asked, at 1:41, whether or not he would have switched to an independent bid had he defeated Marco Rubio in the primary. And he has no good answer for it, because we all kow — and Charlie Crist knows — that he wouldn’t have.

The more Charlie Crist talks, the more obvious it becomes that he’s nothing but a hypocritical, shameless opportunist with no principles. The man can’t even decide which party he’ll caucus with! He calls himself a fiscal conservative, yet he’s considering joining up with the party who is trying to socialize the country and spend us into the Stone Age? Yeah, that’s real fiscal conservatism. The truth is Charlie Crist doesn’t care at all about fiscal conservatism; he cares only about making sure that his own career gets furthered.

If he had been smart, he would have just conceded to Rubio and planned a Senate bid in 2012 against Bill Nelson. But because he’s a shameless opportunist, he didn’t do that, and in the process has very likely destroyed his entire political career. Where does he have to go from here? Nowhere, and frankly, that’s exactly what he deserves.
