My constant beef about the GOP — of which I’m still a member — is their obsession with sex and religion. They are bordering on theocracy. They should stick with the Constitution — especially the concept of limited government and thus maximum individual freedom — and their traditional support for national defense and free enterprise. That’s quite enough to distinguish them from the other party.

Crist is a mixed bag, in that he also supported Obama’s stimulus. That indicated an abandonment of Republican principles. It’s very fine to be for religious freedom, but he’s still not much of a Republican — at least not the traditional type. I can’t imagine that Goldwater or Regan would endorse him.
