Of course they would want a republican in office... A democrat's tax hike would cost them hundreds of thousands a year. Hundreds of thousands that could go to schools that are broke, paving roads that are riddled with potholes, or even into programs that save the enviroment.

it would be a shame though if their taxes went up... I mean 12 hummers in the garage... come on!!! I want 15

I found Schillings initial endorsement a bit out of place. He seems like the classic "supports Bush because of religion" sort of guy.

dont worry katie. Just because someone can throw a ball, doesnt mean they know more than you about what is right and wrong.
And voting for someone soley because of their religous beliefs while ignoring all of the other things, is about the most foolish thing you could do.

Yea anyone who believes in God must be a right wing nut Schill is a big military supportor and a HUGE WWII buff. He knows what it takes to crush the terroists and who is best to lead at this time. One other thing fellas, I am not rich and not big into religion either but have strong family and moral values and just think W is the right guy for the job given the current state of the world. Not a time for some liberal policies that always include global summits and all that crap that gets NOTHING done to solve the problem. In this case people who want us ALL dead. Its funny you guys think anyone who supports W is religious nut. Thats like me saying everyone who supports Kerry is tree hugging communist anti war/ anti military moron. I know some are like that but not most. The republican rich guy religous wacko thing is so old and so not true And thats coming from a W supporter who is neither of those things. Give Shill some credit for voicing is opinion. I meen the Left has its celebrities why cant you accept that the right has thiers also

on a more serious reply-
I have issues with all popular people who use their popularity to spread their political beliefs. Yes i am sure if he indorsed "K" I would be happy, but i am always treating any person who makes millions of $$ a year as suspect who indorses a candidate who is going to fight to save them hundreds of thousands a year in tax cuts. The fact is is that if he did day something positive about a democrat, it would be more believable to me because he would be saying this even though if a democtat id elected, it WOULD cost him hundreds of thousands of $$$

I don't have a problem with rich people speaking their mind, but the timing of Schills comment was a bit out of place.

I think you should take a detailed look at the Tax cuts instead of just listening to the Dem spin machine. It would probably surprise you to know that it was a tax cut for every tax bracket to just the riches 1% as Kerry would like you to believe, the only people who did not get a cut are those who make so little that they don't pay tax to begin with. Those are the people who Kerry keeps saying need a tax cut. My question is if you pay 0% how can you get a tax cut??? Yes the richest 1% got the highest % dollar wise, they should they pay the most in dollar wise. Let me make this as easy a possible for you. You have more plug's than i do so by the Dem reasoning I should give none you should give allot and some how they will give me some of what I did not have in the first place. Why not just send me all of your plug's now.

Personally i dont really care much either way. Its the enviroment that i care most about. as an outdoorsman, and an artist, i draw from the outdoors as enjoyment as well as inspiration. the republicans have tried and accomplished in may fields to destroy all the good that Clinton did to try to curb greenhouse gasses, and other forms of polution...
Or, maybe i can put this simpler... our Stripers are being killed every day because of this.


Yes i have a lot of plugs and when I see a kid on the beach who needs one, I will happily give him one. I work hard for my plugs but I know that I have the responsibility to help those out who dont have any...

Kerry is a fake. Did anybody see him wearing the BoSox hat? His favorite player is "Manny Ortiz?" Why not just say you don't follow baseball?

I'll bet every member on the team that is registered to vote will vote for Bush. The man is a liar.

Schilling is an American. Most of the actors in Hollywood are Americans. They have the same rights as you and I... freeedom of speech. They have a vote to use and an opinion. All Americans do. It is your right to vote for who ever you want regaurdless of what anyone else.... famous or not says. So vote for whoever you want to based on what you believe. Then go fishing.

Wherever you go.... there you are!

Huh?

I thought it was PCB's, overfishing, and lack of bait and ME that's killing stripers.

p.s. Eben I'm up in your neck of the woods on Sunday...

well, yes you have a big part of it, you bass murder you...... but what i'm saying is that the current administration is turning a blind eye to the enviroment. I can see why, were in a war, the economy is sluggish, who cares about the enviroment in times of crisis???? Do you guys know when the snow starts falling in Yellowstone, the gate keepers to the park have to wear resporators and ear protection from all the smog and noise that the snow mobiles produce?? Clinton banned snow mobiles in yellow stone, but you know who has let them back in
