Well, both States and Josh are to the right of me on social issues (States 10%, Josh 12%, me 45%) - so I'm not inclined to vote for either on that score.

However, on economic issues I'm pretty close to Josh: he scores 34% to my 32% (States is way-off radar on 84%)

I'm inclined to vote for Josh - but because he supports decreasing overall taxation on the wealthy he cannot count on my support

Almost got your support... but support who ever you fell like support.
P.S. I support cutting taxes for everyone not just the rich....

Stealing my ideology again I see.

What I mean with the question "Do you support lowering taxes for the rich" the question doesnt go deep enough IMHO. Because I feel taxes should not only be lowered for the rich but for everyone in general. That's why I say I support it overall. The only thing I believe the IRS should have power over is to tax corporations and never people, whether rich or poor.

NO.. that is how I have always believed...

States Rights definitly dosen't fit my ideology, however I think he has proven himself to be a respectable Senator who believes in the common good of the people and I put that belief above our relatively trivial political differences.

I'll give it some thought - but I'd prefer it if the richest (i.e. those earning over $300,000 pa) didn't get any further tax cuts

Hell of a choice in District 4 mind you, a pair of right social conservatives. Are there no Democrats running?

There are barely any Democrats in the Southeast/D4. Your best chance really is to hope that Htmldon runs, though you should be aware that he is in fact a real life Republican with a really blue avatar. He is, however, a member (and founder) of the Union Party, who seem reasonably sane.

I am actually a registered Democrat IRL (hence the red avatar) who just happens to resemble an old Dixiecrat.  Smiley

I've been urged to run for reelection (which I'd like to be in the senate again, but I don't think I'd have much of a chance).. How would you d4ers think about me running again.
For those of you who don't know, I'm one of the most prominent Atlasians, the first VP, a two-time PPT of the senate, a two-term senator, and I'm now serving as attorney general.  I ran for president once and came in 2nd out of 6 candidates.

Wewent over this a few months ago.  No one said you should run again. I would not vote for you over StatesRights and in the unlikely occurence that he did not run, I would run and vote for myself.

This is what you get for not voting for the populist when you had the chance last time...

You needed to change your avatar to red, bro, in order to stand a chance there.  No swing voters, independents need to apply.  Tongue

If you don't want to vote for me fine, but there's no need to call me a liar and be a jackass about it.
