Ah h...Who doesn't acknowledge climate change?<br /><br /><br />Ah hopefully you will have the same opponent in 2014.

Republican candidates, even at the state/local level, have to rely on Republican money. They are afraid to speak up for scientific truths for fear of unleashing the wrath of the Koch Brothers' money.<br /><br />-- DennisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-7502632720006386902013-05-30T07:27:22.441-04:002013-05-30T07:27:22.441-04:00Climate change needs money?

The Liberal Gun Club. <br /><br />I'd rather attack anti-climate people at the primary level. I can't stomach voting for a "moderate" republican even if they seem to be pro-environment. The republicans are fundamentally opposed to almost everything I support. It's hard enough voting for the democrats.Gatornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-63854797901258431352013-05-29T19:26:13.271-04:002013-05-29T19:26:13.271-04:00The two sides are not comparable.

That means they can influence a significant minority (10%?) of the voters on that one issue alone. <br />So a candidate can go from winning 55-45% to losing 45-55% It's big.<br /><br />What needs to be done, in my humble opinion, is to form another organization, which supports gun rights, but with reasonable restrictions and limitations. This would split gun owners between the fervent 2nd amendment fundamentalists and hunters who support some limitations. Right now, those who want to carry weapons see no alternative to NRA.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575837647825433144noreply@blogger.com
