This is quite the statement. There's simply no line that a politician can cross, short of being convicted of a criminal offense, that is even relevant to your voting decision?

Let's say the UCP's platform had included a plank about establishing a new pro-Third Reich museum extolling the virtues of Hitler's leadership style and ambitions. Presumably this would have minimal impact on the economy. It probably wouldn't be against the law, provided that it didn't explicitly promote anti-semitism. You would dismiss this as "background noise"?
