9. R's like her are the only way that party will survive-
Sadly for her, but thankfully for us they don't want people like her. She doesn't "Match" what they are presenting.


Out of curiosity I read her info page-
The medical page is a little convoluted you may want to read the whole thing for yourself.

Some quotes directly from her site:

Her Energy view:

(QUOTE)
What's Ailing Us? - We Need A Rational Energy Policy

The dependency on oil by this and other nations is creating a pricing run up as more limited easy access supplies dwindle. China has over 1.3 billion people, India over 1.1 billion and this nation approaches almost 300 million, all of whom are increasingly "addicted to oil."

The depots for oil include locations in more pristine environs such as Alaska, more remote regions such as the artic sections of Russia, the more volatile nations of Africa, or in rock formations which require technology such as slant drilling and more off-shore drilling. The issue for the next decades is pay now or pay later. If we fail to invest in alternative fuels now we may potentially create a vast wasteland of death and destruction due to oil wars, storage depots which can become terrorist targets or rapings of the earth.
(END QUOTE)

An R that is all for renewable energy over oil? Whoa.


Gun control in a nutshell:

(QUOTE)
I have always stated that I support the rights of individuals to bear arms as long as they don't point them at me. I stand by that position.
(END QUOTE)

Illegal immigration:

There's only one part that really surprised me. It was this "I do not support amnesty or a guest worker program when we have locked up non-violent criminals who could have alternative sentencing for this work."

A Repub who wants to take nonviolent prisoners and release them to work? Has the world turned upside-down? Am I in an alternate universe? Pinch me.

...
...
...........:puke: Then we get to why she's an R.

(QUOTE)
The failure of the US Senate to pass the Marriage Amendment speaks poorly for legislator’s appreciation for this institution, which goes to the heart of society’s underpinnings. The rhetoric calling this an anti-gay marriage debate is off base. The Marriage Amendment should simply state that “Marriage is the union of one man and one woman at one time.” This statement recognizes that many people may want to unite and may per state laws, but as for this nation, marriage will be more than a civil union, it will also be protected.
(END QUOTE)


It makes me sick and sad at the same time that she, coming from a culture as hers and in a state like NC would want to deny anyone the equal right of marriage.

Maybe she'll smarten up and realize that equal rights are just that. The RIGHT of every human being in this wicked world to be happy and live/love/laugh as they please.
