Admittedly, I am confused about why Jacob isn't liked. Is it his looks? His positions? The way that he intelligently and effectively debates? Or is it because pro-government statist ways are much, much preferred over actual freedom and true fiscal responsibility?

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

He's ready to pick up a rifle?
