Here's my take. I know LaFortune's job as mayor has been questionable in some areas, and I think Taylor may do a better job economically as well as provide strong leadership where the current mayor has failed. I cannot however, in good conscience, vote for a candidate who would further the gay rights agenda, or pander to orginizations such as the ACLU,Planned Parenthood, the NEA, etc. This being said. If we voted Taylor in, would we be able to keep her in check with a strong Republican City Council in these vital areas. Does anyone even know where she stands on these issues? If it comes down to choosing between losing the culture war or a bad economic situation with a bickering city goverment, I'll gladly put up with somebody like LaFortune to keep anti-American orginizations and groups out of our community, and keep our family values intact. So, with some ignorance of city goverment admitted, can you offer me some good arguments in this area? Is this a viable solution? What kind of damage could be done? Why is she any different from other Democrats in that she would have a plan to actually to carry out her campaign promises. I'm not wholeheartedly endorsing her by any means, I'm just trying to get a feel for city politics.
