The GOP attacked Clinton for cheating, but they've given Newt a free passnew
I have always been primarily policy oriented in my politics. The most boring candidate imaginable has my support so long as he is right on the issues and the most charismatic politician imaginable is worthless to me if he does not support the right things. Much of my writing is dedicated to showing my fellow conservatives where their beliefs and behaviors regarding the principles of limited government are inconsistent or lacking. I believe conservatism must be about more than simply rooting for your favorite team.
