ldo -
just a quick note to let you know that all teachers
don't jump to the nea, dept. of education, or even
my texas state boe instructions. (yes, i am a teacher;
i type much faster without capitals, so please don't
think i'm an idiot).
there are many of us that are just as conservative as
anyone on here. many of us shoot; i don't know any
who reload, but i do and many local people here do.
i live in west texas; kids here are pretty conservative.
there is no shortage of apathy, or stupidity for that
matter, but we're doing all we can.
i know there are portions of the country that are
probably the exact opposite of this; and they
probably have more votes.
just a quick note - sometimes i am surprised to read
on gun sites some well intentioned conservative
member pushing to get rid of the electoral college.
if you live in a more rural, conservative area, our
only chance in national politics these days IS the
electoral college. the guys who wrote the constitution
were very concerned about smaller population states
having no say in national politics.
perfect example - 2000 election.
bush won (going on memory here; may not be exact,
but is pretty close) 37 states; gore won 13.
yet, gore won the popular vote. without the electoral
college, new york city, chicago, etc... will rule national
politics, as they are primarily socialist.
don't mean to hijack the post; just
wanted to throw that out there.
thanks for the info. i look forward to someday hearing
about some of this on the media. i will be looking.
