That was an excellent article. I am glad to get the information. Most homeschoolers are conservative on other issues like abortion and gay marriage. I do not automatically go for the Tea Party candidate. They have made mistakes before. Alot of them went for Ron Paul and that to me was very short-sighted and stupid. And, Steelman is not my favorite. I think she acts a little too affected for my tastes. This isn’t a movie role the candidates are trying out for and her appearances on TV have seemed very TVish to me. I have liked Akin all along even though I am not in his district. He is a good family man and we need good people to represent Missouri in DC.
