		<description>RE: Every FairTax candidate finished behind...

I&#039;m a huge FairTax supporter.  

Unfortunately, none of the FairTax candidates were acceptable.

George Barry - An anti-trade isolationist and North American Conspiracy Theorist.  Ron Paul supporters flock to Barry.  &#039;Nuff said.

Mark Huff - Too little info available on his positions even from his simplistic website.  I judged his campaign as amateurish and too green.  Maybe with more experience he’ll be a viable candidate.

Ray McKee - I liked Ray the most of the three.  However, I found his anti-trade position unacceptable and his interpretation of Constitutional amendments laughable.  You&#039;d expect a lawyer to understand that amendments need not start in Congress but must eventually achieve ratification by 2/3rds of both houses.  McKee also seemed weak on victory in Iraq.  Finally, his ability to only raise $15k indicates funding a general election run would be problematic.

Based on these issues I voted for Wayne Parker.  His comments on the FairTax seemed out of ignorance rather than informed.  Certainly not the perfect candidate but I agreed with most of his positions and showed ability to raise enough funds for the general.  Hopefully he&#039;ll come around on the FairTax.

I considered Guthrie for awhile until her negative campaign against Wayne Parker.  Based on her repeated and demonstrably false claims against Parker I will never vote for her, period.

I wrote off Mancuso due to lack of available info.  What little I found I didn’t like…like anti-trade.

		<description>About the District 1 race: riding around the District, I didn&#039;t see any Chris Stuckey signs, I saw plenty of Bob Long signs. To me, a sign equals a voter. I&#039;m a big believer in yard signs.

I hope that Stuckey decides to run for another office - I like his energy and approach to Government.</description>
