I can't think of any Heinlein that wasn't at least some sort of political commentary.

Oh wait...Glory Road. (well still some commentary <sigh>)

On the other hand you could locate the "Bureau 13" books. Not 50s-60s but still fun.
Again I'll say... political commentary does not bother me at all when it belongs properly in a good story... it's when the purpose of the book is to drive a political agenda that I don't care for it.
