Lovely, just lovely. Another candidate with “baggage”.
I don’t know if all the claims in that article are true. Probably not.
But is it true that he’s been divorced twice? That he was violent with one of his exes? That he’s estranged from his son and daughter? Did he really try to join the Border Guard before his Minutemen efforts?
All of these things are pretty easily verifiable (or falsifiable) and would be slung like the mud they are in the primary. His politics now seem desirable, but if the portrait painted by that article are true, he’s pretty unstable and, as bad as McCain is wouldn’t be as unreliable. That is, at least we know that McCain is consistently RINO. Which is better, a consistent RINO or an inconsistent “conservative”?
All of this is just stemming from my frustration about not being able to (apparently) find any candidate for any public office without some kind of serious “baggage”. If I were involved in his campaign, I’d try to stem some of the mud from that article off at the pass, by having him address some of the more serious charges first, before McCain gets his hands on them.
But seriously, WHY can’t there be a candidate without baggage? I was just skimming through this thread to see if he had a website set up for donations yet.
*sigh*

Because that's the type of people drawn to politics?
