II>I think people like Kay Bailey and Phil Graham (Gramm ?) are rinos. I, perhaps, have set the bar too high but I don't think so. I like Ron Paul tho.

al_c>Ya think? I think they've done pretty well upholding conservative values overall. I'm warming up to Ron Paul ... didn't like him much when he first started. Maybe because I was living in liberal Austin at the time? ;o)

Phil Gramm of Texas was a Conservative Democrat not unlike myself
until the Marxist ran off anyone in the Democrat Party who believed
in the Bill of Rights about twenty to twenty-five years ago.

I still regard myself as a reconstructed Southern Democrat to this day.

However the last Democrat I voted for was Ben Nighthorse-Campbell
in a primary against Dick Lamm( the old folks need to just die to lower the Social Security Rolls).

Ron Paul is interesting however he belongs to the Libertarian Party
whose platform includes Drugs for everyone, Abortion for everyone,
license to anything. It is just short of anarchy.

Is supporting abortion rights official Libertarian policy? I know there are pro-life libertarians, whose arguments abotu violating a person's right to live are stronger than the boilerplate "woman's right to control her body" arguments.

As for drugs, we need not be anarchists, but we should be rational.
