Saint Rick doesn’t have the platform that actually gives me a reason to think happy thoughts on his behalf though. If he at least was offering something, maybe a fair tax, a flat tax, privatization of SS, an oath to tear down every single lib Government department, I’d seriously think twice about it.
His platform is tepid, just like he is a tepid conservative. The social/religious platform isn’t worth embracing mediocrity.
We complain about the quality of men/women who run and are elected to office - ie...they lie, they cheat, they steal, they live immoral lives! Yet when someone of good character comes along they are ridiculed for trying to live up to those standards.
Note: This is not in any way a criticism of Newt. I believe in repentance and forgiveness. My problems with Newt are in other areas.
