 Amen!!

 LG> Don't buy that at all, Robert. After all, our "current

 This coming election, we need to take a very close look at who the
 candidates are, and what their stands are. We have had a Republican
 Congress for four years now, and I will readily admit to being quite
 disappointed at some of the votes my resident congress critters(all
 Republican) have voted. In the future, if I see a candidate who is
 unfailingly conservative, and I believe the individual to have a
 realistic chance of winning, I will vote for that individual, no matter
 what party he, or she, may belong to.
