Made. My. Day.
He’s no right-winger, but he claims to have never voted for a Democrat for President.
He’s a fiscal conservative, social liberal.
The celebrity who surprised us was Gene Simmons (from KISS) who was interviewed on Fox And Friends today. He’s very smart and has some good ideas. Shows that anyone can change his core beliefs, considering where he started. (Impressive that the guy speaks eight languages fluently.)
I agree with Eastwood.
Clint is right. However, looking Presidential is the ONLY thing in Mitt's favor.
There was a time WHEN and there remain voters WHO cast their ballot based strictly on THIS kind of ‘credential’, such as it is. We won't talk about the old days or the kinds of voters who remain so laughably gullible in their voting habits. We know who they are.
In a healthy economy,in peace time, without DAILY challenges to Constitution or to our very sovereign territory, etc. Americans could afford and possibly be forgiven selecting an ‘8x10 glossy’ kind of guy for the WH. NOT NOW!! And with any luck, we won't retain or return TO that kind of mentality in electing Presidents.
I’m reasonably certain Clint identifies himself, at least socially, as a Libertarian:
