Florida Republicans are preparing to immolate themselves. See below. The replacement for JAMES GREER as Republican Party Chair is none other than a corporate lobbyist turned Senator. Conflict of interest? You’re darn right.
The Florida Republican Party has two right wings, one pro-polluter and the other pro-bigotry. They don’t get along. Hence, the split revealed in the Record’s article.
One point of disagreement -- I don't think libertarians are conservative -- I think they are liberals, in the tradition of Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson -- they want to keep government out of our private lives. Wingnuts want to shrink government just small enough to fit in our bedrooms.
Kudos to St. Augustine Record Peter Guinta for a darn good job of political reporting. Compared to stories in bigger newspapers (Miami Herald and Orlando Sentinel), the St. Augustine Record’s news story was the best I’ve read on the resignation of JAMES GREER. Not only that, but there were subheads (headlines within a story) in the article, which was longer than usual. (I like subheads, which the New York Times once used in profusion, as did our Appalachian Observer newspaper in Clinton, Tennessee).
