I'm not a native of this area either but I'm not a "Yankee" so I guess I would be okay to run for office. Just a Marine... not just once but twice. Pantano was dogging bullets while McIntired was going to Rotary lunches and talking about the money he brought home. If we could get the federal government out of our lives that money would have stayed here to begin with, we would have had it all not just a small percentage. I think McIntired voted for Clintons NAFTA treaty. I know the poll among people I know, work with, and see on a daily basis are sick and tired of the tax us more democrats and are voting for PANTANO>>>>
