Denton County Voting Locations - 2006 General Election

I'll address your questions individually:
Quote:
Because I have met and talked with and listened to each of these candidates, and have PAID ATTENTION to the votes of their opponents.

Quote:
Democrats are NOT baby killers. The goal of Democrats and Republicans alike should be to reduce the number of abortions to zero. Under the Clinton administration, the abortion rate went down substantially - not by criminalizing this sad tragic choice for young women, but by working to educate young women about contraception choices, and to alleviate the economic conditions that lead too many women to this choice. The question you have to ask yourself is not whether you favor abortion, but would you rather have fewer of them, or would you rather it be criminalized. My vote is for fewer of them.

Quote:
Spending is a necessary part of effective government. Democrats are fiscally conservative, meaning that they want to keep spending in check. Under the Bush administration and the Republican Congress, they've had the largest budgets ever, the largest deficits ever, and the largest national debt ever. In order to spend, there are two choices: Borrow money (the politically easy way out - push the burden onto future generations), or increase tax revenues. Democrats believe in a fair and progressive tax system that asks those who can better afford it to give a bigger share. If you want to use the term "tax and spend", I'll be forced to use the term "borrow and waste" when referring to the Republicans. As for "Pro-criminal" I'd really like to know where you get the idea that protecting the Bill of Rights and the Constitution is pro-criminal. We are a society that believes in "innocent until proven guilty" and the rule of law. When our government deviates from the law, we are no better than the criminals.

It sounds a lot to me like you get your news from right-wing talk show hosts. I feel sorry for you.

You should actually READ what the Democratic candidates SAY about the immigration problem. It is a problem, and the Bush administration and Republican Congress have failed to deal with it in any rational way - especially after 9/11 when they could have asked for and gotten any amount of money to keep our borders secure.

Quote:
Democrats did win in a big way last night, but you're partially right: As long as the people of North Texas continue to show apathy towards learning about the workings of their government and the abuses and corruption that goes on, we can't win. As long as Democrats let folks like Boortz, Beck, Savage, and Limbaugh tell gullible folks like you what Democrats believe, we'll have this problem.

Though it is easy to see things in black and white - and it makes for good radio, it's intellectually lazy. I challenge you to read or listen to some other sources so that you can get a more balanced view, and see that things are more in shades of grey, and that if there were any easy answers, they would be done.

Peace,
