I think it would be a service to the voters of America if each candidate was required to get drunk and answer questions when their political inhibitions were gone and all they would give is their gut-level stance.
I'm all for that--and I don't drink.
I just wish that could be done before the process got further along. Some of these people will 'biden' themselves, but the most devious and even diabolical will not--and likely have a shot at the office because they are better sneaks.
For all I know, Buck is a good man who screwed up. I'm a 'birther' in that I still have serious and unaddressed questions about the Natural Born Citizenship status of the current occupant of the Oval Office, and I'd still consider the guy, but he'd be digging in his pocket for funds, cause I won't pay anyone to call me a "dumbass".
Still, If he can't keep a civil tongue about that issue, no matter how exasperated it may make him, how well is he going to fare in a legislature, where buttons are pushed in debate and any weakness will be exploited.
It's the reason I never ran for office--at some point I'd turn around and give some nit a dressing down that'd make a Master Chief cringe. In today's environment, I'd have a short tenure before every whining special interest group out there was lined up on the step with primitive lighting devices and rudimentary farm implements.
