Reply #15: Well as I said about Harkin earlier [View All]

[Bluzmann57]

He voted in favor of the Schiavo bill, but he is a man of faith, who is commited to the rights of the disabled. His vote didn't match the thinking of some here in DU. But as an Iowan, I am proud to have Tom Harkin as my Senator. He does a novel thing, he actually tries to look out for the people of Iowa, which is where he's from, as opposed to the other way around. In other words, he gets it. He was elected to represent Iowa in the U.S.Senate, and chooses to put Iowans first often times. I just wish our representative here in the first district did that. And if that is the only "mistake" Harkin makes, then there is nothing wrong with him at all. After all, he, like all other Americans, has a right to his opinion, whether one agrees with them or not. Interesting thoughts btw Kentuck. We need to have disagreement every now and then. It keeps the lines of discussion open.
on edit-I may get flamed for this, but I think U2 is way overrated. Bono got mentioned, so I just thought I'd throw in my two cents worth.
