Reply #5: I believe he's sincere about that [View All]

If he compromises his strict orthodox rules to govern, run or work, I don't think that's a fair measure of much. Yes, it's a compromise, but any politician has to understand reality; that's one of the reasons purists and perfectionists bug me so much.

I believe that he truly believes. I just think he's a mealy-mouthed, Quisling with a series of stealth desires to affect public "morality", censorship and the like. He's also a tool of the accounting industry and other big-money concerns, regardless of his record on social issues. He's a creepy, prissy little snit, but I do not question the sincerity of his religion.

Many of the other fundies (and yes, orthodox Judiasm IS a form of fundamentalism) are hypocrites or outright liars, but I believe him on this.
