  • It would be nice if the paper could do BIOS on these 4 men so we could have some idea of who they are. Preferably two or three weeks before the election so we can weed out the fiction from facts.

  • Yes, I also want to know who the liberals are so I can support them--they are the true Freedom Supporters and descendants of the Founding Fathers of the Nation and the Framers of the Constitution. These Tea Party supporters SEEM to be the destroyers of the Constitution and the Nation from the bottom-up of the electorate. The lowest financial bottom line in the use of taxes for Defense or for Human Social Justice or for Leadership in Economic Development (transcontinental RR, Lincoln & the Interstate Highway System, Eisenhower), is not the foundation of the future of our great Nation in local or federal government. Locally, I do not choose to support the party of NO growth, NO jobs, NO Reduction of the Deficit via Fair Tax Reform, NO fulfillment of the Nation's Commitment to the Social Contract made with our Seniors, or with the Victims of Disaster, No Honor & Medical Care for our Veterans, NO help for the poor and No local education funds for our children. Grassroots Americans & the Grand Old Party deserve better representation than the extreme-Right-Wing -of the Grand Old Party- so -called-Patriots. Lets get back to the Traditional Republicans of my youth. Goldwater & Nixon & Reagan thought the views of these people on Equality in Taxation, Social Security, Infrastructure Maintenance, Unemployment Fund Payback Support & Job Creation Economics, the Social Security Covenant, were both uninformed, unproductive, and destructive of the Common Good. Tell us who the liberal Republicans or Conservative Democrats are, so we can support the integral middle in the political spectrum America has always supported. And tell us if any of them are against the independence and freedom of religion in our NO funding and NO establishment of religion in the American Republic. Since when do our elected officials have to seek the approval of religious ministers before they vote on Republican political questions? Liberty was a hard-won prize by those who courageously opposed both the tyranny of kings and of state approved religious establishments based on the European Medieval model: NO Religious Test for holding an elected Office in the Republic!!
