My opponent now says he'll raise them as a last resort, or a third resort. But when a politician talks like that, you know that's one resort he'll be checking into. My opponent won't rule out raising taxes. But I will. And the Congress will push me to raise taxes and I'll say no. And they'll push, and I'll say not, and they'll push again, and I'll say, to them, 'Read my lips: no new taxes.'

...there's a natural alliance between conservation and hunting that used to be quite politically strong and still is in some areas, such as northern New England. I can't think of any reason why hunters would be inherently less likely to support more broadly environmentalist causes either, beyond general cultural conservatism anyway.

Maybe not active-duty, but plenty of pacifist or quasi-pacifist veterans around.

It is this alliance that makes
1)  The MN DFL friendlier to gun owners than national Dems
and
2)  The MN GOP friendlier to environmental causes than the national GOP.

Pro-life Democrat is fast becoming one.

Joe Donnelly, Bob Casey, Marcy Kaptur, and Dan Lipinski are a few current elected ones I can think of. Around here there's BushOklahoma and effectively me with the way I end up voting. Technically TJ is a registered Democrat. Tongue


Rob McKenna, Sam Reed, Kim Wyman, Cathy McMorris Rodgers, all of eastern Washington, Lewis County, Yarrow Point, parts of the eastside, etc.


Brad Henry? Dan Boren? Most of the state is still registered as Democrats. BushOklahoma?
