Blessings in Christ;
I don't pretend offend you; but the most of the members of Rangernet are sick and tired of listening about politics; this is a Christian Group, consacrated for the benefit of the Royal Ranger Ministry. I suggest you to take a look of the Yahoo groups, I think there is a bunch of people interested in such a topic. God bless you a lot and thanks for your understanding and cooperation.![]()

I disagree with your opinions on the 1998 and 2000 elections. Linda
Smith lost mainly because Washington is a liberal state. Murray
won 58 to 42 almost exactly how Prop 694 (Ban Partial Birth Abortion)
lost - 57 to 43 and how Prop 692 (Allow medical marijuana) passed - 59 to 41.
Clinton also beat Dole 53 to 38 just a few years prior. That's quite
a steep hill for a Bible-Believing Pentecostal like Smith to climb.
Unfortunately Murray won.
If you look at the Mason Dixon Poll running up to the election
(http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/1998/states/WA/polls/WA98S.html)
Smith gains votes and Murray loses support. Smith also refused
to vote for Gingrich as speaker in 1997 - so I don't suppose
he would be favorable to her in 1998. Republicans didn't
pull support of Smith. The national committee maybe didn't
give her as much money as she would have liked but they have
to pick and choose their battles.
There are already laws on the books about Campaign Finance and
your previous hero John McCain was one of the biggest breakers
of the law. Just enforce the laws. Limiting people's free speech
by saying a group or a person supports candidate X means that
the media and the incumbants can say all they want too.
Your new hero - John "Special K" Kerry denounced special interests,
but looking at his record shows otherwise. He was king of special
interests in the senate. And just today more news about his
interest in special interests:
-------
WASHINGTON -- U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., sent 28 letters in behalf of a
San Diego defense contractor who pleaded guilty last week to illegally
funneling campaign contributions to the Massachusetts senator and four other
congressmen.
Members of Congress often write letters supporting constituent businesses and
favored projects. But as Democratic presidential front-runner, Kerry has
promoted himself as one who has never been beholden to campaign contributors.
From 1996 through 1998, Kerry participated in a letter-writing campaign to
free up federal funds for a missile system that defense contractor
Parthasarathi "Bob" Majumder was trying to build for U.S. warplanes.
Kerry's letters were sent to fellow members of Congress -- and to the
Pentagon -- while Majumder and his employees at Science and Applied
Technology, Inc. were donating money to the senator, court records show.
During the three-year period, Kerry received about $25,000 from Majumder and
his employees, according to Dwight L. Morris and Associates, which tracks
campaign donations.
Documents say the contractor told his employees they needed to make political
contributions for him to gain influence with members of Congress. He then
reimbursed them with proceeds from government contracts.
Federal prosecutors initially determined that $13,000 of the donations were
illegally reimbursed, but they now say that nearly all of the money was
tainted. They said there was no evidence Kerry would have known that.
Asked what he did to repay the money, Kerry's campaign said Wednesday he had
donated $13,000 to charity two days before the guilty plea. Kerry's campaign
said Kerry's actions had nothing to do with the campaign contributions. One
of the subcontractors working on the guided missile project, Militech, was
based in Northampton, Mass.

I also disagree with you 100% about the South Carolina primary . But SC
didn't really matter who
won as McCain only had a shot at winning Republican primaries that allowed
Democrats and other
third party candidates to win too. I remember reading lots of news stories
about the mischief
Democrats were trying to cause as they hated Bush back then too. McCain got
nasty in SC as
so did Bush supporters. Unfortunately negative campaigning still works and I
feel will probably
always work.
