I’m not a fan of Florida Governor Charlie “GQ” Crist, former state attorney and swinging 51-year-old born-again bachelor.
As usual, the Democrats ran absolute fools in ’06, so Charlie was first choice. I voted for him then, and unless someone better comes along, with a sigh I admit I would have to vote for him today.
Like the Guevara-nator in Mexifornia, Crist is a textbook RINO. When the St. Petersburg Times, an ultra-liberal-in-complete-and-utter-denial newspaper endorses a Republican for any office, you know you’ve got problems.
A recent Times article: ‘Crist says drug laws in place are fine’
Like all God-damned politicians, Crist is a “former” pot smoker who sees nothing wrong with incarcerating 20,000 non-violent drug offenders at a little less than 20 grand per inmate per year. According to the article, Florida will have to build 2 new prisons per year through 2013 to house them all (for those outside of Florida, our fair state is facing multiple financial crises, including huge property tax hikes).
I’ve had it up to here with this Prohibition-era hypocrisy. Every politician from the local dog catcher up to President should be forced to take random drug tests once a month for as long as they’re in office. These surprise tests should be urine-based, captured live on video (with modest pixellation) and posted at government websites. If any test positive they should be thrown out of office and jailed.
Our moronic government allows sex offenders to live at home but locks up pot smokers for life?
Shouldn’t it be the other way around?
