But, since he is a Libertarian, he doesn't believe in the armed forces anyway, right?

Just fired off an email to Leach. He is well known as a RINO, but I have voted for him in every election. Just informed him that my vote for 1st District will be withheld this year. Also told him that he is only pandering to the liberals in his new redistricting area (Iowa City) and that I prayed his lack of resolve and determination did not compromise the security of me and my family.

He wants us to wait to get hit again before we use the armed forces.

Amo Houghton, of the Corning Glass family, is a worthless POS. He was also one of the five who voted against impeaching clinton.

Limousine liberal.

And then he, like the RATS, can claim "Bush knew."

Strange. I used to live in John Duncan's district in Knoxville, and he was typically pretty conservative (although, this isn't strickly a conservative/liberal issue).

Here is his statement on the floor:

DO NOT TURN DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE INTO THE WAR DEPARTMENT -- (House of Representatives - July 09, 2002)

[Page: H4360]

(Mr. DUNCAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)

Mr. DUNCAN. Mr. Speaker, national defense is one of the most important and one of the most legitimate functions of our national government. Serving in our Nation's Armed Forces is certainly one of the most honorable ways a person can serve this country. And because of our pride in being considered a peace-loving Nation, we changed the name of the War Department many years ago to the Department of Defense.

Now, however, most of our leaders in both parties, people for whom I have great respect, seem to be eager to go to war against Iraq. We should not be eager to go to war against any country, and especially against one that has not attacked us or even threatened to attack us. We cannot use the terrible tragedies of September 11 to justify it, because Saudi Arabia had much more to do with those events than Iraq did, and we still consider Saudi Arabia to be one of our allies.

We are already spending mega billions to increase our security. We do not need to go against our military traditions and spend billions more on an unnecessary war unless Iraq threatens to, or does, take some type of action against us. We do not need to turn the Department of Defense into the War Department once again.

Does California even have any Republican representatives? That may be your answer.
