Regarding the reference to Tom Delay above, one of Delay's last actions was to redraw the lines of the congressional district of Ron Paul. Paul is the most conservative member of congress, and this is the third election in which his own Republican party has tried to defeat him. He seemed sure to lose this time, until word got out that the NRA (National Rifle Assoc) was endorsing his Democratic opponent. The NRA rated the contender an A+ and Paul a B. But the Dem is a raving gun-grabber, and Ron Paul has the only perfect voting record in congress on gun rights. He's ALWAYS voted for our constitutional right to own firearms. And yet his own party, and the NRA, tried to defeat him. Things aren't what they seem, people. The Republicans try to defeat their best, and the NRA is in on the plan to disarm America. Fortunately Paul won by a 2 to 1 margin. He's one of the sanest minds in congress and went on record against Bush years ago with his "Neo-conned" speech. It's on the internet. Look it up and read it. And remember a Republican wrote it.
