Wit45, first of all I appologize for being so negative mouthy sounding to you, and some other's whose opinions differ from mine. I went back and read some of them and I could have been a little more civil. It's just that politics can so easily get people heated up, as you assuredly know. -- As for the study being slanted: one more time, don't focus on the messenger of verifiable truth. Apparently you missed the paragraph I suggested you read that shows non-parisanship, so I will copy and paste it here. ..... "Notable exceptions to the Republican pattern were Senators Chaffee, Jeffords and Roth, and Representatives Saxton, Shays, Boehlert and Gilchrest - all of whom voted consistently for fish and the interests of fishermen. They deserve the support from fishermen and conservationists". -- They asked you to vote for those Republicans. - RT
