BS... you must never have lived through an earthquake or hurricane and have a ham either get you medical help or let you alert family members across the country of your situation. It flies on the Space Station and the Military has used Ham Radio for years... Military Affiliated Radio Service... MARS for short. Ask a Nam Vet how important Ham Radio was in the jungle when they didn't have cell phones... and they still use it from remote areas... and it is a big part of Scientific communications based at the Poles.

Your attempt at belittling me has not worked. Why are you assuming that I do not know the benefits that the ham radio network gives this country? I never once said that ham radio is worthless, or not necessary.

That is, pardon me, a typical liberal tactic: Someone does not agree with your position on something, they must be completely against it. Sort of like the global warming hoax: If you do not believe it, you must want people to suffer.

My only point was that deciding not to vote for someone based on one issue, and one issue only, is ludicrous. There are a lot of one issue voters here and that is one reason (amongst many others) why Republicans are having such a tough time.
