Stan, this is why you are so admirable. You live and breathe the ethos of conservatism but you have experienced government from the inside. Most of us can only speak about politics as observers. You speak as a player. Like all things, commenting on the game is easier than playing it... and you have played it well for many, many years. I've said it before and I'll say again, I'm very glad to have finally met someone with principles who cares about policy that's invovled in government. You're a rare breed.

Yes Nick, it does become very complicated once an elected government official is forced into to the proverbial weeds to sort things out.
I absolutely am a free market guy until I am not: Protecting our children and our vulnerable citizens from evil as is necessary ... And pure evil does exist. I have voted against evil creeping into our vulnerable society on many occasions, and will continue to do so, irrespective of the free market argument. On the other hand, I well know "Waste, Fraud, and Abuse" of and within our governmental system of the People, and I will never resist taking that down as best I can, whenever I can.
