Yelnoc, you don't really believe Clarence is socially liberal, do you? Taking one issue, where the Left and Center both agree, can not be sufficient to classify one as a "leftist" socially, by any standard.
Thanks, Yelnoc- also on drug policy and stem cell research to name a few...
Napoleon- I'm sure by the standards of this board I may be appear further to the right- but the standards of the world beyond this board I am far closer to the center then most of those with red states under their name. I supported Newt followed by Santorum due to foreign policy which is the primary issue I vote for President on followed by economic policy- frankly the two issues which personally affect me and what my children and granchildren will inherit. I vote for down ballot races based on many factors and your suggestion that I simply "threw in a couple veterans" is offensive... I will never fail to salute a Medal of Honor recipient- that's that. They've given more then any one else other then those for whom I can not vote to this country and I'd vote for Dennis Kucinich if he received the Medal of Honor. As for Nelson- my personal interactions with him have confirmed in my mind his commitment to my state and for veteran's issues... I also find the alternative in Mack a far cry from his father. Am I more likely to vote for a veteran then some one who never served? Sure...... but don't assume I am "throwing in some veterans" without any thought considering I've voted against many veterans in the past- from Barry Goldwater to John Kerry
