I agree with you on the “drug vote” comment - but I will say, to this guys credit, he has hit on a point that far too many Freepers can’t get through their heads….which is supposedly pristine candidates are running the country into the ground.
Sometimes it’s better to have an obviously flawed candidate in their personal life, who has the right view of government. Because in the end, it’s government bureaucrats and officials carrying out government policy that ruin our lives, our freedoms, our businesses, our school……wife cheaters and other imperfect candidates do not do this.
I agree completely.
I think there are different types of behavior issues, and the resolution/explanation of various ones makes a difference.
We need to figure out how to address them.
I hear ya re:transparency, at least Ravenel is an open book, unlike a ghost written one like Obama’s Bill Ayers ‘work’.
