He seems a bit more pro-war than the Pope.

I had a great, if lengthy reply written up...but then we had happy hour in the office and I had a beer (and a cupcake) and then went back to my computer and shut it down without clicking the "submit reply" button...so it's gone.
Oh well.
Essentially I just think the guy is far too concerned about the personal matters of other people, and these are issues that I feel have no place in politics.
But it makes for interesting discussion.
