Since Tom Coburn isn't going to run this time, I'm putting my money on George Allen.
A middle ground here is that we elect someone who believes that the federal government should not be involved at all.
There are certain things the federal government should do, like protect the right to keep and bear arms, and somethings that it should not do, like mandate what kids are taught in school.
We need to return such issues to local control. Then if you want your school to teach that the earth is balanced on the back of a swimming turtle then have at it.
You are not taking money from me at gun point to support it, you are not forcing my kids to be taught it.
The end result is that I don't give a flip and nether do you and suddenly the problem vanishes.
People don't want their money taken at gun point to support something that they do not believe in. And really, who can blame them?
Any democrat elected will just worsen the problem. So would most RINO's because they can not grasp that fact.
Because of Guiliani's POV on the RKBA he is not acceptable.
Likewise because of McCain/Fingold McCain is not acceptable.
Sorry to butt in fellas...but I gotta say (prolly 'cause I like to needle folks) Evolution? Prove it. LOL....no really guys, I am a born again Christian...but teaching evolution to me is NOT a problem at all. As long as it is taught as it is. A THEORY. A thought about how things MIGHT be.
I don't like the "Anti-Evolution" folks anymore than I like having the bible banned from public schools while they teach 5th graders about male on male fisting. So I am not asking that evolution NOT be taught...just taught as scientific theory, not fact.
