Well, thanks Andre'. That explains much. And it closely corrlelates with Eric associating him with anything tied to the name James Madison (i.e. freedom and liberty for all, as long as you submit yourself to big government).

Crist is a former atourney in general(The same problem that Claire Maccaskill from Missouri has). To me, there is nothing more anti-libertarian in the curriculum of a candidate. Let´s take Crist own words: http://www.charliec <http://www.charliecrist.com/?content=issues> rist.com/?content=issues Charlie fought for and passed the STOP (Stop Turning Out Prisoners) legislation that required, for the first time, that prisoners serve at least 85% of their sentences. Charlie Crist was instrumental in the implementation of the Bush/Brogan A+ Plan, which provided Opportunity Scholarships to low income children and educational accountability. Charlie Crist spearheaded landmark legislation requiring prescription drugs to be tracked from the manufacturer to the pharmacy to ensure drug safety. This initiative is now a national model. Charlie directed the Attorney General's Office to investigate thousands of complaints of price gouging and other crimes during the catastrophic hurricanes of 2004 and 2005. That´s not libertarian to me. André [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ForumWebSiteAt http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian Yahoo!
