PAWLENTY: Being Polish is not enough for me...

Minnesota Governor, Tim Pawlenty at the Govern...Image via Wikipedia

Let’s talk a little about politics since the GOP presidential field is starting to fill up a bit.

TIM PAWLENTY made me take a closer look not because he is Polish but he seemed like a straight shooter and I liked some of his economic ideas.

I will admit that he is a smart man and he is who he is which means that he is not changing himself to fit voter expectations, which is a good thing BUT his conservatism crossed the line for me where I could not, in good conscience, vote for him.

Being Polish, he grew up in a good, hard working Polish Catholic family. His wife came from a Christian college and converted him to Evangelicalism. Religion shouldn’t matter right; it’s a private thing right?

Well, Pawlenty as governor of Minnesota approved tough new restrictions on abortion in the state even though abortion is legal and has to be made available to women that seek it. Right there is a problem but not a total deal breaker.

Pawlenty allowed local school boards to teach intelligent design as an alternative to evolution and right there is the deal breaker. I don’t care how religious you are, if you stand in the way of science and replace it with junk science, then you are not fit to be someone that governs other people; you are not a serious adult and your intellectual makeup is in serious doubt…sorry…no vote for you.
