“I’m personally...”, the ultimate in political weaselry. That was the old Democrat stance when they used to try to appeal to pro-life voters, “I’m personally...”
Confront jackasses like this Peterson with replies like this, “I’m personally in favor of infanticide, but I wouldn’t dare impose my militant pro-abort views on the electorate and would have to vote pro-life.”
Like I said, I will be happy to tell Austin Petersen that I "personally" support his candidacy but since I cannot impose my views on others, I will instead help to elect a different Republican.
