Why I Would Vote For Lindy Scott
I don't live in his district, but I would vote for him.
This is to some extent bandwagoing in action. With endoremnts from the likes of Peter Walhout, Evvy Campbell, W. Jay Wood, Alan Savage, and everyone's favorite Tom Selleck look-alike Peter Walters, how could the man be wrong? The fact that most of you have no idea who these people are just enforces the theory that I'm bandwagoning.
Besides that, though, Lindy wants balance in the government. Compassionate conservatism has failed to be compassionate, so maybe some compassionate liberalism will do the trick. And he's also a good Christian man.
What do he and I have in common? He holds to a viability concept to defend his pro-life stance. He even says:
For those who oppose abortions on religious grounds, I urge that we follow the example of Jesus. He seldom appealed to laws and their earthly punishments as a way to change human behavior. His preferred methods for bringing about change included clear moral teaching, forgiveness of failures, communities that would be supportive of people, and the offering of alternatives for people who were trapped by the system or by their own mistakes.
I find this a compelling approach because it isn't just about abortion, it's about living our lives. And this from a Democrat, people!
He also supports raising the income cap for social security tax. Currently only the first $90,000 is taxed at 6.2% and the rest is untaxed. Also, reinstating the estate tax, something else that only affects those who have money to give up, would give us a lot more money for the system. And he's also a big supporter of the environment and of education. In fact, he thinks that No Child Left Behind sucks for the same reason I do-- it puts the blame on the teachers and schools, not on everyone involved in a child's education.
So I like Lindy Scott. The primary election is tomorrow. May he win.

Seems he got a beat down instead. It's probably because he gave real position issues instead of soundbytes. Lesson learned: Nobody will vote for you if they don't understand you.
