like lawn mowers, stock cars and sail boats


One major problem with your analysis, Vito. The folks in that hump on the
low side of the IQ curve vote overwhelmingly Democrat.


Why shouldn't they vote Democrat? It's the party of handouts and when the
government has the power to rob Peter to pay Paul you can always count on
Paul's vote.

Enforce the Constitution. Get the Federal Government out of schools,
healthcare, housing, the workplace, the bedroom, the library, etc.

"I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more
efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote
welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to
repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones
that do violence to the Constitution, or that have failed in their purpose
or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not
attempt to discover whether legislation is "needed" before I have first
determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I should later
be attacked for neglecting my constituents' "interests", I shall reply that
I was informed their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am
doing the very best I can. "

Amen!
