Ive already seen the blind allegiance and ends justifies the means mentality based on some of his prior responses (not that he really answered most of the questions), but my god...if these last responses don't give us an idea of the person we are dealing with....wow...just wow.
No "wow" needed at all here , we all make our judgements on folks based on criteria set by ourselves . Your judgement of Frank is well documented throughout these threads and your most certainly entitled to your opinion , for real . Now , since the criteria by which you , me , and several other thousands of voters will tend to vary from person to person , here's my reasoning , for all that's worth ;

"In a world where Political Correctness run amok has caused any other than a smiley faced response to be considered modern blasphemy , I do not subscribe to the notion of judging Humans on being , Human ! Sure the guy told an off color joke and maybe he did growl at someone who pissed him off , who hasn't ? Really , I ask that in seriousness , WHO among us has never once let our temper get the better of us ? Now , what I judge is things like this ; I see a guy who you've called unfit over and over , a guy you've brought out every negative thing you could throw at him , and yet still he hasn't attacked YOU in the way you've attacked him . Look even at your response to me where you insinuate that I'm unreasonable because I think the gent's Moxie makes him a good candidate , I have not and will not cast any such negativity to you for whoever you choose so why would you feel the need to do so to me ? Especially when I have not yet declared Frank my choice over Rich ? The fact that Frank hasn't lashed out against your attacks on him in any of these threads is all the proof I need that he is capable of representing the AMA just fine , and just as I also said earlier I truly believe any one of the four gents would be a fine fit , each in their own way."
