Is this true?

If so, I think it's worth the effort to see if the NRA actually sent it. For all the effort that went into their supposed postcard, <a href="http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/State/Specific.aspx?st=DE" rel="nofollow">there is nothing on their political action web page</a>.

Republicans in Delaware are down, but not out. They will get up fighting and show this is a two party state.

Scientists are generally nonpartisan but lean Democrat because Republicans have become the party of anti-intellectuals. Creationism is not science, and should not be taught in science class. Do you think education should be taught by popular demand? Sharon,

Your entire post is a textbook example of what Joe Klein talks about -- when so many Americans think that the country is on the wrong track (80%) the gopers have decided to rerun the BC04 campaign -- decidedly NOT talking about the things that many Americans want to talk about -- economic security. And while John McCain has worked on a few things in a bi-partisan fashion -- that still does not account for his 90% voting record with GWB. That record is an utter failure, a record that has no demonstrated any real leadership for another path out of the GWB mess. And frankly, last week's cult of personality in St. Paul talked about his POW experience. McCain's party has been in power for the last 8 years, and he did nothing to try to stop them from breaking everything. Now that BushCo can't come back, McCain has decided to carryon with the same program and the same campaign -- because he can't talk about how he tried to change any of the failed governing decisions of his own party.

This all occured in 1996. All those Harry Potter books weren't published until after 1998. The list has been debunked on various blogs. And, Sharon, just because you find a book "offensive" doesn't give the right for a mayor to ask to have it removed. The list is a fake as I explained in a comment on my blog.

Sticking to a political ideology in the face of evidence contrary to that ideology and wishing to enforce that on others is no different than doing so with religion. Both are based on "faith" rather than factual evidence and both intend to push certain beliefs on others. Who's position are you implying I'm arguing Dorian? “Secular positions based on evidence are a different matter.”

LOL!!! He's literally phoning it in! I'm sorry, but Bill Lee is not preparing to be governor. I don't know why the Delaware Republican party is in such a bad shape, but apparently it is. Does anyone know why the Republicans did not file a candidate for County Council President or for County Executive? Both positions seem pretty vulnerable to me. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong here.) He’s had teleconferences with voters.
