Do you want a San Franciscan style secular progressive at the helm of the House of Representatives? Remember, that is second in line to the Presidency after the Vice President.

Thats a scary possibility...

Being a one issue voter
I would rather have folks like Ron Paul but I'll settle for politicians that will at least leave my guns alone.

Absolutely, I'm with you 150% there...

We are a Pro 2nd Amendment orginization.

We want politicians from all partys to support our cause. So, we support those that do.


If we only suported one of the political partys, why would any of them suport our bills.

The party we supported would not value our support becuse they already had our vote.

The partys we didn't support would not support our bills because no-mater-what our members would not vote for them.

Nothing wrong with that at all, I don't dissagree...

And if there was a way to take the party and political gobbledy goop out of it, I would...But that would be silly...

It comes down to whom the candidate as a whole agrees with you the most...Regardless of party affiliation...

I lean conservative, no big secret there...

I also (Please forgive me) believe its not all about the 2nd Amendment...I know everyone knows that as well...

Just trying to wrap it all up in as complete a package as possible...

But this is just my opinion...Not trying to ruffle anything...

There is always the Libertarian candidate.

To be brutally honest...I believe the Republican Party has 24 months to get its act together, stop lambasting and insulting the ranks of its base, or I guarantee that the Libertarian Party is going to suck up a lot of the conservative votes starting in '08...

Bob Smither is a good man, it pains me to see a person who has a genuine passion for the right kinds of things for the right reasons get demonized like he has...

He's not using his daughters death, or any notoriety from that, to push his campaign at all...It is mentioned, because some people need that horrible incident to connect the dots, and therfore get people to read deeper into his ideas and agenda...

He knows and understands what a lot of us are going through in our current political affiliations, and knows its only a matter of time...

He'll be someone we need to keep track of in the years to come...

I know I go out on a limb here sometimes...

But I can tell you that I have know Shelley for years...

Charles is right about the endorsement issue...Untill she gets into that office, she knows she won't rate higher than just an "A"...To get that + rating she's got to be able to vote on those issues...

It will happen...

She's been my at-large counsel person from the get go...And since I hitched my wagon very early in the CD22 process to get someone on the ballot...I had a feel for all of the serious candidates vying for that nomination...

It comes down to where you lean...If you are a conservative or liberal, the choice is clear and simple...

I don't think we have to worry about gun-control issues if they come across either person's desk...

I also know Nick Lampson personally...He's just about like any of us...He knows his and my politics are diametrically opposed, and he knows I'll stick a burr under his saddle when those issues come up and he goes one way, and I believe the other...Thats D.C. for you...

Big picture, and outside the box are what I look for...And if its not going well...In 24 months we can change it...Or not...
