I don't see the problem? Steve supports a tax structure that better suits taxpayers instead of tax spenders. AFP supports a better tax environment so that maybe just maybe fewer businesses pack up and leave and some might even be enticed to start or move here. What's the rub?

And your point is....?

"What's the rub?"

Mr. Abrams is Republican.
Mr. Seaton is Democrat.

David Allen- I don't think you are qualified to give political advice. It just makes you look silly. Why don't you stick with bus driving.

sorry- didn't realize you had your censor turned on. I doubt you'll approve criticism.

Typical.

AFP has asked politicians to sign a pledge to oppose ANY climate change legislation that would increase state or federal revenues. They basically believe climate change is overhyped BS.

It would be interesting to know whether Abrams has signed or pledged to sign this pact. In the AC debate he stated that he focused his science on facts that were "observable, measurable, testable, repeatable and falsifiable" when asked about the creationism topic. I wonder if this extends to climate change?

AFP also supports offshore drilling. The founder is David Koch of Koch Industries, which runs oil refining and pipeline companies.

Another Americans for Prosperity Foundation board member is Richard Fink, a Koch executive who serves as a director of the refining subsidiary. Fink helps control AFP's purse strings. He is president of the Koch-affiliated Claude R. Lambe Charitable Foundation, which gave AFP's foundation $2.2 million from 2005-06, according to the Foundation Center.

Mr. Byte:

I don't understand what you are trying to say about Koch or Fink. How is any of that relevant and furthermore who cares? If a broad majority of us don't believe the whole global warming craze, what does that matter? If someone chooses NOT to "believe" in global warming that makes them much smarter in my book.

Only one way to find out bytedaily and that is to pick up the phone and ask. I know from personal experience that he will answer any questions you have.

Byte,

the other day I followed your link on youtube to "hear Mr. Burr speak for himself".

After watching that, I followed the links for the other candidates. One of them was Mr. Abrams, I don't remember him fielding any questions about creationism during your video.

Are you refering to the AC debate at the high school?

after reading byte's writing, I have concluded that he is on the payroll of the Democrat Party.
Or at least should be. Doesn't matter what Mr. Abrams or Mrs. Kelley says, it will be wrong according to byte.

@ 9:23
Koch has a vested interest in an anti-envirmentalist agenda, look at EPA records.

@ 9:25
I've never promoted my blog or my youtube account on Mr. Seaton's blog. I always post as bytedaily.

Abrams was asked about his creationism "agenda" in part 2.

@ 3:22
My political affiliation should not invalidate the question. AFP is a lobbyist group.
