You've made me a believer, I like the pig in the legislature anecdote. Is he a bible-thumper?
I haven't a clue as to his religious stance...however, he apparently has voted the proper way on abortion (No, no and no again) and scores high marks on gun rights legislation. However, it is his fiscal rectitude which is really needed. I suspect he would cause a lot of politicians to squeal in pain. Good.
