    Hell yeah.

    What makes me feel comfortable about myself is another regular rough-and-tumble plain-talkin’ guy. Maybe even a bit of a dim bulb who, by his own estimate, would need to lie and cheat to succeed academically and get where he needs to go. That’s what we call ambition here in America.

    A guy who isn’t afraid to let loose with some commentary about other types, or "groups", whatever, is alright by me. A guy who isn’t afraid to use our military to protect the freedoms. A regular guy who doesn’t mind locking up some dope heads to protect the rest of us.

    That’s the kind of guy I could sit down and have a few with.

    And that’s worth my vote!
