LOL, not surprising. They hosted Michele Bachmann a few years back. The store is plastered with right wing propaganda.

This guy sounds like an ignorant asshole. His website sucks too. Really..."bathroom laws" as one of his most important issues?  :o

Actually, if I interpret him correctly, bathroom laws are not important enough to him that the federal government should concern itself with them:

Quote...the absolute last issue they should be concerning themselves with is restroom use.

If restroom policy is going to be an issue, it should be left to the states to decide...

Let states decide = let local bigots discriminate.

I had a pretty miserable conversation with him via Facebook a couple of years ago.  In the course of this he ended up making a football-related bet with a Facebook friend of mine, which he lost, then welched on while making indignant excuses for having done so.

Political opinions aside, he sure doesn't strike me as a trustworthy sort of guy.  And his is about the only small business in Jacksonville I have no inclination at all to support.

That is one thing I noticed about Republicans - they are all for state rights if states have more conservative positions that the federal government but not the other way around (e.g. when it is about the legalization of Cannabis or gay marriage).

Still - according to what he writes the bathroom issue is not important to him. Whether that is is true position or not I cannot tell, it was just in response to what other posters wrote.

This clown does not seem to have an original thought in his body. He simply copy and pasted the talking points of every stereotypical tea-party person.
