[QUOTE="henschman, post: 1653879, member: 4235"] Unbelievable. How dumb does he think his constituents are? Does he really think that a letter like that, which states basically all the populist rhetoric on that issue from both sides, without expressing any opinion on it, would satisfy a constituent who is interested enough to write him specifically on that issue? Does he think such answers make him look like anything other than a typical politician who will say anything and defy any principle to stay elected? I don't know what to make of Bridenstine. I do really like how he states support for the non-delegation doctrine (an issue almost nobody is even aware of, much less talks about, but which is very important), but he states implicit support for Prohibition, and doesn't state a clear philosophy on the proper role of government. I usually look for stronger principles before I support someone. [/QUOTE]
