| 3 guys running for representative here for republicans, steve greenberg is the guy i want to see the least. the other 2 guys are for the war but are very cautious in it. one is a huge fan of my boy rp, the other guy's son died in iraq. both are cautious in how they deal with it. i went to a local debate, steve greenberg blathered something about iran wanting to wipe us off the map, patriot act love, and the kind of hawkishness i think someone can only display when they are so for war but have never served in the military. i don't like that guy at all, total neocon. lame to see them predicting he will win. |
