I supported him in 1994 before he proved himself a party hack supporting Arlen Specter here in PA and Lisa Murkowski in AK in 2004.
I see him as a diversionary candidate to siphon off conservative religious votes so the Romney type candidate wins.
See, right there is the reason not to back him.
When you start backing people like, Specter, Murkowski, McCain, Graham... lots of others (and Rick didn’t support all these), you reveal your true colors.
You either have loyalty to Reagan’s Conservatism, or you have loyalty to something else.
Reagan wasn’t perfect, but he clearly defined the right path, and I respect the man a great deal for doing that.
Those that veer from it, and then back the people listed above, or that caliber of person, need not apply.
Go (away) Rick Go...
