I always felt like he was a bit of a maverick in the Republican party - a fiscal conservative, a social moderate. I liked his position on a lot of issues, and I had a lot of respect for him because of what he suffered in Vietnam. He killed that respect by using his service as a campaign sound bite. He referred to Falwell, et al, as "agents of intolerance". That sat well with me. But then he reversed that, became good friends with Falwell before Falwell's death, and has accepted endorsement from Hagee, etc. But the real deal killer for me this year is his turn around on off-shore drilling. And I really, really fear he is going to pick Tom Ridge as VP, and that I cannot abide. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:266687 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
