What district are you running in? I'm not beholden to any particular political party BUT the far-leftist take-over of the Democrat party definitely keeps me voting Republican when it counts.<BR/><BR/>You know Boortz, I'm a big fan btw, thinks we ought to teach them a lesson and that now, before the 2008 election is the time to teach, at least those representing us in the House, a lesson.<BR/><BR/>I voted for the Libertarian candidate running against Roy Blunt. :)<BR/><BR/>Mother is staying here with me a couple of days. I picked her up today. I thank you for the well wishes.Jackie Meltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10554151805461400754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10887668.post-1158809786980066672006-09-20T22:36:00.000-05:002006-09-20T22:36:00.000-05:00Jacke,I would wish the LP to change it to "make dr...Jacke,<BR/><BR/>I would wish the LP to change it to "make drug legalization/decriminalization a states' rights issue", although "states' rights" has dirty connotations... none of which are deserved. Darn statists.<BR/><BR/>No, I lost my flavor for Republicans when it was down to Bush Version 1.0 and Clinton. Actually, Bush 1 and Dukakis was probably the kernel, but it flowered four years later.<BR/><BR/>And, so, here I am... tilting at the windmills, running for the House, stirrin' the gravy to get out the lumps, banging on the castle gate with a stick... <BR/><BR/>Why do we do this, anyway? Is it some vain, faint glimmer of hope that we'll somehow change the outcome? Will I have to waste my vote on a Republican in 2008 to help keep the Hildabeast at bay?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks, and remember: Have a government-approved day! :)The Libertarian Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16083575858624721967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10887668.post-1158673228084768142006-09-19T08:40:00.000-05:002006-09-19T08:40:00.000-05:00Ahhh, so you aren't a dread "Bush apologist?" Heh...Ahhh, so you aren't a dread "Bush apologist?" Heh, heh.<BR/><BR/>I read your post on the subject and you were right. I could find nothing about party leaders, including a past President, mind you, "flexing their legislative muscles" in the way the Democrat leaders did in this case.<BR/><BR/>As far as the press comparing it to the reaction regarding "The Reagans" I do NOT feel it was a legitimate comparison and in translation I took it to be an attempt to change the subject to...."humph, the Republicans do it too," sorry, no dice.<BR/><BR/>I have utmost respect for the Libertarian platform except for that pesky little legalize ALL illegal drugs thang...wish you guys would drop it, I might join you. As it is I choose the lesser of evils from the two leading parties, the one I can agree with on the majority of issues. I reserve the right to change my mind. ;)Jackie Meltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10554151805461400754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10887668.post-1158670284523910722006-09-19T07:51:00.000-05:002006-09-19T07:51:00.000-05:00I pointed this out on my blog: That some of the De...I pointed this out on my blog: That some of the Dems flexed their legislative muscles by way of threatening ABC's broadcasting license if they didn't pull the "offending" scenes.<BR/><BR/>I don't recall the Repubs doing the same, and they have one of their own on the Communications committee...<BR/><BR/>Not that I like either party, mind you.The Libertarian Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16083575858624721967noreply@blogger.com
