Good Morning.
Congressman Tom Tancredo was my congressman (Colorado 6th, I was in at the time) until a liberal judge redrew the districts after the 2000 census created a new (7th) district and I wound up in the 7th. The liberal judge made no bones that he redrew the districts to make the 7th based on political division to make it as equal as possible. Being that this was an obvious case of gerrymandering, the Republican Party took it all the way to the CO Supremes, who ruled in favor of the liberal judge, since the CO Supreme Court is infested with liberal justices.
Our first election in the 7th was extremely close and we barely won with our Bob Beauprez over the clinton-loving, detestable Tom Feely....by something like 121 votes in some 150,000 in a recount.
Beauprez ran for gov in 2006 and vacated the seat. We lost the governor and we lost that seat last November.
Got way off topic.......Congressman Tancredo is a wonderful man and he would make a great president. He is what we all would want. He belongs to my church and I have handed him bulletins on his way into the sanctuary before. I haven't met him personally. Unfortunately, he has no chance to win. His name is completely unknown to all the sheeple who vote mostly on name recognition. He is also height challenged and that, unfortunately, is a big strike against him in this day and age of, again, sheeple that vote on worthless things like name recognition and appearance.
Didn't mean to be so long winded.....saw your post and wanted to fill you in on some more background.
Tancredo and I share a mutual friend, Congressman Steve King of Iowoa's 5th. Knowing King as I do, I'm not surprized the two of them are friends.
Yes, they are both good guys. I have almost pulled up stakes and moved from the 7th district back into the 6th after living here 26 years to get back under Tancredo after we lost the 7th to the disgraceful perlmutter (just another dangerous CRAT) in November. I am thinking of formulating a letter to perlmutter (d CO 7th) asking him to explain why he INSANELY voted for a bill that would give our enemy a date certain to surrender to them. I have not been able to because I am so furious at the CRAT party (the party that should have been abolished years ago, let alone now being in power) that is going to destroy us from within that I can't tone my language down enough to write it.
I see that Vilsack and wifey are going to endorse Hillary.
Putrid peas in a pod.
NC Rep. Walt Jones, alleged Republican, was one of the two Rep. "representatives" who voted FOR the Iraqi bill. Mel Watt (D-NC) did not vote.
Pelosi reportedly used the carrot/stick method....promises of pork and threats...to get it passed. "Disgraceful" isn't strong enough a word to describe these traitors who put themselves and the Dem. party above the welfare of our troops.
I would say Jones is heading for the prefix of RINO to be added to his name. Sorry to hear he voted for surrendering to the terrorists. I only wish there was a crystal ball that would show all of America what is going to happen not only over there, but even here, in the aftermath if/when we surrender to these insane savages.
Toby, it is 8:43 pm Saturday night here. I can't wait the next three hours until the 26th. So here and now, I think I'm the first, I want to wish you a HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY. You are loved.
I also want to tell you that you and I share a birthday. Your physical birthday and my spiritual birthday. In 1971 on this date, around 8 pm, I prayed to receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. HALLELUJAH! My life has never been the same.
I am suffering from a mild cold so I will say good night now. I love you and I'll be back in the morrow.
Yes. The 4% of Iowans who were supporting Viltax's presidential bid are not likely to make a difference.Viltax is on a fishing expedition. He's looking for a cabinent appointment.
sorry about the messy HTML. It is early and I'm just finished my first cup of java for the day.
I will refrain from posting until I finish my 3rd.
Some of you probably know this, but Dolly's not online due to computer problems the past few days.
so those poor Brit sailors are going to be hostages..used for negotiating whatever Iran wants. Damn.
Prayers for them and their families.
Good morning...foggy and mild here.
Before I go. That is not good at all for the Brits. Not good in any way shape or form.
An aside, our family knows that if any of us are taken hostage by any group for any reason, while we work for our escape or recovery, we do NOT NEGOTIATE. We consider that member dead. That's a decision we have all reached individually and as a family.
He might look familiar as the man once known as the "the face of the U.S. military" for his role as spokesman for U.S. Central Command during the beginning of the Iraq War, He was the former chief PAO (Public Affairs Officer) of the US Army. He is currently the deputy commanding general - support for Multinational Division-Baghdad.
Vincent Brooks is also the general that has just threatened to kick Michael Yon out of Iraq.
hmmmm...I have Toby's b.d. as the 26th, but no matter...you are on the other side of the world, time-wise, and besides Toby's earned the right to celebrate any time and as often as he likes! (This is NOT to be confused with Bit's Phenomenon)
Yikes! Michael is the best! What did he do to get on the general's bad side?
I knew you do have a book!
:-)
Gates of Fire..
Nope, you are right. We concur. But I am suffering from a cold and thought that Saturday was the 25th. That would mean Sunday was his birthday. Head is dizzy, nose is running and I've just misplaced 24 hours.
I need to be in bed.
I really, really, really wanted to be first.
