Watch the debate at 32:20 they ask her a question referring to her being a Scientologist and the decisions she would make about mental health...she gets around it by saying... "As a Libertarian I would..."

She makes a good point that the government should have no part in mental health but does not deny being a Scientologist.

Editor,

Believe it or not, I was siding with you. I didn't mean for it to come off as me going after you, just more or less the digs from the religious right ...sorry if you took it any other way.

Good to know you're also on board.

David I agree that Schick should be allowed in the last debate. I know the Republicrats tried like hell to keep out of all the debates. I don't care about a person's religion just so long as they don't bring it into the political arena. Sarah Palin chose to cross that line. I don't think Schick stands a chance of winning, but I like the way she stood out from Noriega and Cornyn.

KeeKee, that comment you provided the link to has been cut-and-pasted on at least a half-dozen blogs and several sci-hater websites. I find it questionable at best. It doesn't prove anything.

The author only uses his first name, Simon, and doesn't provide any verifiable evidence. He misspells Yvonne twice (Yvone)and begins one salutation with "Dear Sir/Maddam." Two of the links provided in the post lead to a blank page and the other link is to the TruthIn Scientology info that I mentioned in my post as being unsubstantiated and unverified info that could belong to anybody. And on that flimsy bit of nothing you make the grand pronouncement that "Yvonne Schick is indeed a scientologist."

In my googling travels around the web, I found at least two Yvonne Schicks besides the Texas U.S. Senate candidate. One in Florida and the other in New York. Maybe Scientologists can clone themselves--I don't know. Just because you find info that contains the same name as someone you're googling doesn't necessarily mean it pertains to them. I haven't found anything that substantively links the Texas Schick to the TIS info. I got to have more than just Simon Says before I accept it as fact. Others should too.

What was I supposed to find at ExScientologyKids? I didn't see anything about Yvonne Schick, and the site doesn't have a search feature.

I don't know any Scientologists and never have had a desire to learn anything about it. I've seen it described as a totalitarian religion (personally I consider all religions totalitarian) and so I'm scratching my head trying to figure out why a Scientologist would join the Libertarian Party. It doesn't add up if, in fact, Scientology is as tyrannical as the sci-haters say it is.
I do know that it's the Baptists, not the Scientologists, who are trying to keep me from being able to buy beer at the local convenience store and who are constantly trying to shove their religious dogma in my face. When Scientologists start doing that, then I'll start worrying about them.

I watched the debate. I sent money to Yvonne.
Seeing how she is being excluded from the next
"debate". As for the "religion" question, She neither confirmed nor denied the statement from the question, she responded as a Libertarian and only as a Libertarian. I would like to see her in the next debate. She needs to expand on her first responses and emphasis that the other two parties certainly have made a mess of things.
