I can understand your sentiments, but in all honesty, he grates on my last nerve. Certain things bother different people, and nothing bothers me as much as self righteousness and hyprocrisy, and I see both all over RS. Another thing that bugs me is mediocre talent attempting to do big time things, and RS has gotten away with that due to some very fortunate turns in the events surrounding Mitt and Newt. Not only that, but he is totally humorless and most totally humorless folks I've known are frankly not that bright.
But as I said, he is totally right on this particular subject and I always put ideas ahead of personality.
Wow.... C. Edmund. correct me if I’m wrong, but you are a big Newt supporter, right? Me too! But..... Santorum has always been my 2nd choice. I actually see very little to dislike about Santorum, and if he beats out Newt..... I’m okay with that. Definitely prefer Newt, but Santorum winning would make me very happy.
