So... why isn't this guy Jason Chaffez a Democrat? Sounds like all the policies he considers 'cool' are Democratic, and all the uncool is Republican.
Chaffetz was a Democrat (Utah co-chair for Dukakis '88), but changed after meeting Reagan in 1990. He was also a campaign manager and chief of staff for Huntsman. Extremely fiscally conservative (slept on a cot in his office), criticized Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize, wants to ban full-body scanners, leave Afghanistan, etc.
Chaffetz is a libertarian conservative maybe in the Justin Amash cloth?
