Whatever th...Mr. New Albanian, or is it Mr Mullah?<br /><br />Whatever the case, you obviously didn't read/comprehend my comment. I said people who are sexually attracted to each other should not SHOWER or SLEEP together. This would be an issue of individual's right to basic human dignity and decency... Maybe that's why you don't seem to get it? <br /><br />But, as Eric said, there are much more important things to be worried about -- like removing the crony capitalists/politicians from their shared sleeping arrangement and cutting off their access to OUR MONEY -- I thought those were major Libertarian principles.<br /><br />GO HANKINS!!!!!Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14167727524571762178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241505550351823820.post-22724995224820282072010-02-10T10:12:20.672-05:002010-02-10T10:12:20.672-05:00I've spent some time on his website, but it...I've spent some time on his website, but it's quite detailed (too much so for a campaign, I think) and on the top issues, there are a few (relatively minor) things with which I disagree. Are there larger ones on less relevant issues? I haven't seen them, but I'll give it another look. <br /><br />But my point still stands-- unless you're happy with Hill's foreign policy votes/emphasis. Perish the thought!<br /><br />If you're not happy with Hill on foreign policy, then you'd be happier with Hankins' view on that-- and you're straining at the GITM speck and ignoring the interventionist foreign policy log.Eric Schansberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16147388189415035752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241505550351823820.post-80363539262592116942010-02-10T09:13:16.025-05:002010-02-10T09:13:16.025-05:00Now, now ES -- I asked a simple question, and rest...Now, now ES -- I asked a simple question, and restricted it to a specific topic. You brushed it off your collar and said no, it's not on the radar screen. <br /><br />Good for you. Maybe my pals Adam & Steve can serve their country now without being harrassed by Bible thumpers.<br /><br />Jenna views it differently, and says that people shouldn't work together if they're sexually attracted. Oops -- there goes virtually every hetero-office-setting in the nation. Might be why the Muslims force women to wear those veils. We men might jump them at any time otherwise.<br /><br />Wonder how we ever get any work done?<br /><br />Now, my real POV: Hankins is on the lunatic fringe in virtually every way possible. That's why I hope he beats Sodrel, who's not loony, merely a non-entity. The other guy I don't know. Hankins versus your primal enemy Hill would be wonderful entertainment, and Hill would appear the essence of non-extremism by comparison. <br /><br />Just do me one favor. Go through the Hankins platform, and rate the damage to your Libertarian principles. What's that radical social agenda going to do, eh?<br /><br />Just let me know.

They are placing their faith in a person or idea to effect peace and success within their culture. <br />So, it really is very unfair that only people who regard God's truth as the basis for a healthy and productive society are regarded with disdain for their "theocratic advocacy"<br /><br />Here is a question I have about gays in the military: <br /><br />Are gay men and women in the military going to have separate living/bunking quarters?<br />People who have the potential to be sexually attracted to each other should not be sharing a "close" living arrangement. Being female, I certainly would not want to have to shower or live in very close contact (eg. sleep) with people who might be sexually attracted to me (man or woman). <br /><br />I would think most men/women, gay or straight, would feel the same way.<br /><br />I think Travis Hankins is FABULOUS and I hope he goes ALL THE WAY!!!!Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14167727524571762178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241505550351823820.post-22846769718825052562010-02-09T10:41:21.417-05:002010-02-09T10:41:21.417-05:00Hmmm...I thought you'd like warmonger. I'd...Hmmm...I thought you'd like warmonger. I'd guess that Hankins would be an improvement over Hill on that issue for you. <br /><br />No idea...It's not a "top 20" issue. I haven't heard him speak on it and wouldn't suspect it will get any play in May or even November. <br /><br />You might want Hankins to emerge in May. But to the point of the post, politicians don't like "wild cards". So, Hill might beat Hankins handily in November. But Hill's probability of victory vs. Hankins is probably lower. And in any case, the whole thing would be far less predictable.Eric Schansberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16147388189415035752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241505550351823820.post-65753643170902586112010-02-09T10:21:02.076-05:002010-02-09T10:21:02.076-05:00A nice collection, but none as catchy as Mullah.
