quote:
For example, name a major Republican who will publically disavow any of the 10 statements; one or two brave souls, maybe, but very few.
Your posts are usually pretty well considered, AR, whether I agree with them, or, usually, not. This isn't up to your standards.
Gingrich (who's running, I think. 0bama0 is just too good an opportunity to pass up), Palin, McCain, Romney, will all disavow all of the following four points. Name four who will publicly embrace one of them:
7. Abolish the Department of Education
Put the big banks back in charge of student loans and put an end to federal assistance for public schools.
8. Abolish the Department of Energy
End America's investments in a clean-energy future and disband the organization responsible for oversight of nuclear materials.
9. Abolish the Environmental Protection Agency
Gut the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act -- which together protect our kids from air pollution and keep drinking water safe -- and disband the watchdog that holds polluters accountable.
10. Repeal the 17th Amendment
Take away your right to pick your U.S. Senator.
On the other side, I don't think any of the points in the Kirata list will be ridiculed by the dims, as you seem to imply they should do.
