What matters is that CD-14 voters now have a chance to vote FOR someone this time, someone who will work for them. <BR/><BR/>But OK, point made. Include the past baggage. They need to recall the reasons they started voting for Ron Paul, and realize that, if they aren't ideologically with Shane Sklar all the time, it is in their own selfish interest to vote AGAINST Dr. Paul this year. <BR/><BR/>They need to realize this and do this so they can get rid of the guy who just wants to prove a point, and elect a man who wants to help his district.Halhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691384412216558403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30340112.post-1154720019247559432006-08-04T14:33:00.000-05:002006-08-04T14:33:00.000-05:00Hey, let's remember how Ron Paul was elected, O.K....Hey, let's remember how Ron Paul was elected, O.K.? The 14th C.D. was held by boll weevil "Democrat" Greg Laughlin who people put up with on the grounds that "he's the best we can get with the district like it is." So this "Democrat" decided that he didn't want to be a "Democrat" anymore when the Republicans took Congress in 1994. Then Laughlin boasted that he wouldn't have any trouble winning the Republican Primary for his seat because "his supporters" voted Republican anyway, except for himself. In other words, Laughlin was telling the Democrats who had busted their humps for him, "So long, and thanks for all the fish!" Are you down with that? Because a lot of C.D. 14 voters weren't, and they voted in Ron Paul in the Primary instead. Let's just keep the facts in context, shall we? And by the way, Paul USED to represent the 22nd C.D., from 1978-84, if memory serves--he made the mistake of running for the U.S. Senate against Phil Gramm and lost his first seat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
