| 18. I agree they are not gop lite |
|
but they better have a decent platform, cause. unless there is a "solid" plank on choice & equality for gays,(notice I didn't say marriage) I start looking for another option. Guns are a dead issue in MT, where you might have to wait 45 min for a sheriff.That however is a different story in LA SF NO, NYC and many smaller cities. Muncipalities must have the right to control firearms. A final thought. I have a real problem designationg civil rights to the states.
