“If a school board wants to teach it (intelligent design) in philosophy class, then fine.”
Though where they choose to teach what is the school board's business, not Newt's (other than in his own district and then only as far as he can influence the board like any other private citizen).
I think that education is a local issue and the feds should stay out.
Is there something about Tom Tancredo that makes him less desirable to you as a candidate for the presidency? Looking through his voting record, and how various groups have rated him, I'm having a hard time not liking him, so I was curious if you did in fact prefer Newt Gingrich over Tancredo, and if so, why?
Mr. Gingrich's proposals seem ethereal; I don't know how he would implement some of them. He strikes me as being alot like George W. Bush in that way, very gung-ho with ideas and proposals that he may not be able to implement. That makes me nervous. With Tancredo there is an actual and recent voting record, and much more practical experience getting the job done, or so it seems to me. I haven't formed any preferences myself as yet, I am in the "exploratory stages" of their candidacies and others (:
Why you would chose to explore/promote Newt Gingrich (who has not announced) over other candidates is of interest to me because I highly value your opinion, and your reasonings would, quite honestly, become part of my own decision making process.
Since I'm telling all, having Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity promoting Newt for weeks now is a bit of a turn-off: I wonder what is afoot. I hold you in much higher regard; I have never distrusted your motives. I believe you truly want what is best for America and are not merely passing on recommendations from other sources.
