No problem. I’m still getting used to using FR so bear with me on the double posts (didn’t see they had to be approved before appearing).
Yes, I am a Lawson supporter so my opinion might be somewhat biased. Lawson isn’t perfect by any means. He’s “slipped” by mentioning carbon credits, but he has most emphatically stated that that he opposes cap & tax and that local carbon taxes should REPLACE an income tax. Roche supporters would likely capitalize on Lawson’s slip by trying to equate Lawson with Al Gore or Obama (a complete joke). On the flip side, Roche has never advocated the elimination of the income tax system. Basically, you have a RLC endorsed candidate (Lawson just received his RLC endorsement a day or so ago) versus an establishment Republican. I posted this on the RLC forum specifically to inform people on the choices in the 4th, whether they felt like contributing or not. Some FRers will still feel the need to back Roche, and that’s cool too. I most certainly will not.
If this article is true, Lawson has views I don’t support:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B.J._Lawson
Lawson has said that alternatives to a federal income tax should be looked into, including a carbon tax
against legislation such as the USA PATRIOT Act and the death penalty
Lawson is against the Iraq War and against the federal War on Drugs.[4]
We do at least have the good taste not to try to capitalize on 30 seconds of video.
by trying to equate Lawson with Al Gore or Obama
or Ron Paul.
“local carbon taxes should REPLACE an income tax”
So he’s an eco-freak.
Next. Can we get some real conservatives in here?
