The Benefit Of An Open Town Hall

Unfortunately, Governor Bush Is A Pat Robertson Republican Who Will Lose To Al Gore.

I Think We Need To Address Greenhouse Gas Emissions. But I Try To Get Involved In Issues Where I See A Legislative Result... So I Just Leave The Issue Alone Because I Don't See A Way Through It, And There Are Certain Fundamentals, For Example Nuke Power, That People On The Left Will Never Agree With Me On. So Why Should I Waste My Time When I Know The People On The Left Are Going To Reject Nuclear Power?

Some Urge We Do Nothing Because We Can't Be Certain How Bad The (climate) Problem Might Become Or They Presume The Worst Effects Are Most Likely To Occur In Our Grandchildren's Lifetime. I'm A Proud Conservative, And I Reject That Kind Of Live-for-today, 'me Generation,' Attitude. It Is Unworthy Of Us And Incompatible With Our Reputation As Visionaries And Problem Solvers. Americans Have Never Feared Change. We Make Change Work For Us.

I Am A Republican. I'm Loyal To The Party Of Abraham Lincoln And Theodore Roosevelt. And I Believe That My Party, In Some Ways, Has Strayed From Those Principles, Particularly On The Issue Of Fiscal Discipline.

I Think There [are] Great Economies That Can Be Made Starting With A Round Of Base Closings, ... I Want The President To Veto These Pork-barrel Spending Bills Which Have Grown To Incredible Obscene Levels. I Believe There Are A Number Of Weapons Systems That Have To Be Eliminated.
