I may have a bad head cold, but I think I have a healthy attitude when it comes to conservative politicians.
Over at The Other McCain, in a post by Smitty, commentator Michael Spangler remarked about the House hearing where Jonathan ‘Bring On The Stupid’ Gruber was the main witness testifying:

With the exception of Gowdy, he’s in it to win it.

As far as I’m concerned, we conservatives are at the stage where we should withhold placing our Trust in all conservative politicians for much, much longer — if at all — than we used to.

Toleration is a fine thing until it gets you enslaved.
Don’t trust and always verify…
…and listen to Frankie ‘Five Angels':
Michael Corleone: C’mon Frankie… my father did business with Hyman Roth; he respected Hyman Roth.
Frank Pentangeli: Your father did business with Hyman Roth; he respected Hyman Roth…but he never trusted Hyman Roth!
