  Denver Broncos executive vice president of football operations John Elway revealed on Sunday that he was a Republican because he doesn't "believe in safety nets" -- even though he admitted they were necessary.
In a interview on Fox News prior to Super Bowl XLVIII, host Chris Wallace pointed out that Elway was a "big Republican" who had contributed "a lot of money" to former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in 2012.
"Why do you support the GOP?" Wallace wondered.
"Well, it goes to what my beliefs are," Elway explained. "I believe that we're given the opportunity to succeed or not succeed."
what a confused prick, he doesn't believe in them but he thinks they are necessary????  it's true that given the opportunity thing except most don't get the opportunity by design, look at all the legislation the republican congress has obstructed that are crucial to obtaining that opportunity, the game is, has been and will always be rigged in other peoples favor.  we will have to be the people we are waiting for, can't trust your life to someone who doesn't admit you have the right to have one at least with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
"I don't believe in safety nets," he continued. "Obviously, we've got to have some kind of safety nets. But I think my philosophy is when given the opportunity to go take advantage of that, I think that's when you get the best out of people."
The football Hall of Famer noted that he was "middle right" and his business experience taught him that "you got to give a little to get something."
this guy is a ball of confusion he definitely has a pervert way of identifying his right wingness it is not the republican ideal to give anything to anybody but rich so is he saying he gives that a tax break and they kick a little sumptin' sumptin' back? that part he's got right but the rest wonder who turned him out?
don't be surprised if he's running for something maybe with his mindset president 2016 who else to they have, but he blew the vote they can't get anyway with his manifesto.
