No, I took an early interest in his candidacy with the intention of supporting him and ignored his critics until I looked deeper into his record on government spending. Yes, he does spend on defense, but that is not my problem with him. He has a record of big spending across the board. In terms of budget busting, the Prescription Drug plan was the worse vote. In terms of defensibility, his going 0 - 19 on the Flake anti port amendments REALLY ticked me off. That put him in the same company as my current Senator and former Congressman Bernie Sanders.
Along with about 75% of Republicans in congress that voted against them. The Flake amendments were a joke--bad legislation.
