Is she really?  I thought she was one of the most conservative members of the Senate.

Just as a sidenote, I love both of my Senators and am very proud of them, but.....

As much as I love Blanche Lincoln, I find her to be too repulsively Conservative.  She voted for the first Bush set of tax cuts, and this makes me ponder why she finds herself to be a Democrat.  She's obviously not a social liberal (although she is pro-choice), a foreign policy liberal, and now, we find her not to be a true economic liberal.  I am just confused about her voting record.
As for Mark Pryor, his campaign really hacked me off.  They called a million times; I almost died.  But other than that, I think he's a pretty competent Senator; he'll have that seat for a while.  I think he might even run for president.

She believes abortion should be legal in the first two trimesters, though doesn't support partial birth.  That is pro-choice, to me anyway.

John Warner is reasonably moderate for Virginia being responsible when it comes to environmental issues and such, even if he does happen to be a bit of a lapdog for Bush administration.
Since there was no opponent in 2002, i voted for him.  I heard rumors that he was planning to retire by 2008 (which accounts for Rep. Tom Davis' possible candidacy for his seat) -i'm wondering if anyone has any more info.......   

George Allen -i no longer remember why i voted for him in 2000, and, leaving aside his rightwing conservative views, i find him obnoxious even to look at.  if Mark Warner runs against him next year, i'll vote for him.   Mark Warner would be a better fit for this state than George Allen.  as conservative as this state may be, we're better than this.

I vote in California, and Barbara Boxer has the IQ of a grapefruit.

Feinstein at least is reasonably smart.

There is no right to privacy in the Constitution. Santorum is correct, and you are an idiot.

Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Amendment IX

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Amendment X

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

For starters there is no need to get personal....

Secondly, I don't recall my post even mentioning the constitution, all I said is that santorum is against it. Regardless of whether privacy is a constitutional right or not.

And none of this establishes a right to general privacy; especially since the last two add absolutely nothing to the actual document.

Sorry, the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures has absolutely nothing to do with an anti-sodomy law, which is only enforced when a cop comes across the act with other intentions.

When you by association call me a bigot, it's personal, but I wasn't particularly serious.

I believe Santorum is against asinine court rulings that make sh**t up to strike down stupid laws just because they're ridiculous.
