Newspaper: Rohrer 'as conservative as they come'

If you're looking for the conservative candidate in Pennsylvania's race for governor, look no further than Berks County state Rep. Sam Rohrer.

From a profile published this week in The Philadelphia Inquirer, the state's most- read liberal newspaper:

State Rep. Sam Rohrer is as conservative as they come.

The Republican candidate for governor believes in unalloyed gun rights. He sees zoning laws as an infringement on private property. He calls himself a strict defender of the 10th Amendment, which he says makes it unconstitutional for the federal government to get involved in schools or health care.

But Rohrer is not Glenn Beck; he is not angry.

He is not Rush Limbaugh; he does not mock opponents.

If you ask him for his views on a hot-button issue, he'll tell you. But he'd prefer to talk about the boring-but-important stuff - what the state must do to avoid a budget crisis year after year (cut expenses) and what it must do to address its collapsing employee pension systems (cut benefits).
