Thinking of Freeping my Blue Dog Rep Thursday(MS 01)

Posted on 03/29/2010 6:30:19 PM PDT by Sybeck1

Well I am off Thursday. With the wife at work and the kids at school. I was thinking of taking some signs and going to protest Travis Childers.

Now if anyone in the 1st district could offer any suggestions, I would appreciate them. I am not going to do it here in my hometown of Southaven but drive down maybe to Pontotoc (Does he have an office there?) I want to get a bigger bang for my time, and well Desoto county will vote against the guy anyway.

What town would be better if not Pontotoc? Well the locals tolerate a guy from up north in Desoto coming down? How are the local LEO on such things?

Childers thinks he's got it made, voting against Obamacare and all. But coming from Mississippi I know he can be brought down.

Anyway here is what my sign will say. I am thinking of doing two signs.

The first on the left will read "Don't Let Travis April Fools, You!" With the second one saying "Childers Makes Pelosi Possible!"

Get It? April's Fools Day.

So will I be out of place down there? Would anyone know a good location in town?

Thanks for your help

John Southaven

“I welcome any of your ideas. Thanks”

He’s a Democrat. Nuff said.

Please ask him to take down the blue dog button off his site, and to put up a red one.
When I was growing up we had a saying, “I’d rather be dead then red”. Hadn’t thought about that in a long time.

Is Oxford too liberal to consider?

Personally it doesn’t matter. I just hope they don’t tear each other up in the primary like what happened last time.

No Oxford is fine. Used to go to school there. Does Cousin Travis have an office there?

No such thing as a blue dog. They all need to be dumped, including Thompson and Taylor. They all voted for Pelosi. Stupack showed me they are all Democrats. I will never fall for the bluedog handle again.

Harp on the $523 BILLION in Medicare cut & gut....nothing like mad grannies, gramps and disabled learning they are getting shafted! Many of the 35 taxes fall on devices or services Seniors use!

Are you from the southern district? Does Taylor have competition this year?

He voted no on Obamacare. But yes on Porkulus and the S chip, so he has cover. But not from Pelosi.

I’ve been gone from there for 2 decades, Ponotoc was a cross roads back then, so whose office is where would stump me, I was just wondering if academia had turned the conservative leaning attitude of the Oxford populace that I remember to a more progressive attitude these days, also I suggested it because perhaps the university media might pick it up!

Childer’s home is in Booneville and his resort cabin at Pickwick near Aqua Yacht Harbor. One can find him often eating at a restaurant there called Cafe St. Claire. Childer’s will not be seen mulling around with the electorate because he only represents a chosen few in MS-1 district.

Ole Miss is about as conservative a campus as you'll find, and I suspect the same is true of Oxford. The administration and most of the faculty are of course liberal, but when you go to Ole Miss football games near election time, the buttons and such are overwhelmingly GOP IMHO.

Worth FReeping, but I’d hit him with the Medicare cut & gut just to get the message out to seniors, who don’t follow this stuff. I’ve talked to a lot of them and they just DON’T KNOW about the cut & gut!

We are both seniors, hubby is 70 in July, retired Navy to boot, so they got us both ways on this because our Tricare For Life our secondary health ins for over 65 retired Military gets hit with “MODEST” new cost sharing fees via a earlier DOD bill...I don’t call nearly $7,000 a “modest’ cost sharing. Half that if there is just the retiree. Begins in 2011! Plus no COLA’s for SS or retired Military for 3 years!

There are two in the republican primary this year. Two of the best in a long time.
But the important thing is we voters have learned from Stupack that there is no blue dog. They can vote against health care only with the permission of pelosi.
