http://blog.lawsonforcongress.com/2008/01/15/what-is-a-true-republican/ I don't so much find it fascinating that he tries to distance himself from being called a Libertarian - after all, he's running for the Republican nomination in his race! as I do that Republican GA rep Paul Stam apparently uses the

me not to run took me out to lunch. And, yes, that
is a hint for you, YouKnowWho.
