Hola la Barista!!!! Good tidings!

Your post makes perfect sense. I used to believe I couldn't support a candidate that voted for McCain-Feingold. It is such a horrible piece of legislation. But the country needs a strong decisive leader.

I was in the Giuliani camp before, but FDT is Right on so many more issues.
