Source link for the "buddy" claim? Or is this just another piece of whole cloth?
She stuck her nose into the Jessica Lunsford matter at her level.
Ginny Brown-Waite, U.S. Representative for the 5th congressional district of Florida, includes the Lunsford family (of Homosassa) among her direct constituents. If the Lunsford's own congresswoman shouldn't "stick her nose" into their "matter" (the murder of 9 year-old Jessica Lunsford, by a convicted violent sexual predator who had fallen through the enormously wide cracks of the sexual offender tracking system), then who in the world SHOULD "stick [their] nose" into it? Congresswoman Brown-Waite, with the full support of Jessica Lunsford's father and family, has proposed a federal bill which would require a specific and coordinated intra-national program for the identification, registration, and tracking of convicted, violent sexual predators. This is not just a Florida problem, it's a national issue (I'm sure you remember the horrible case of Shasta and Dylan Groene of Idaho...it's only been a few months since Shasta was found and Dylan's abused and murdered body was located), and such a coordinated national program (much like the Amber Alert program) is appropriately resident in the U.S. Congress.
Ginnie Brown-Waite stole her opponents' campaign signs.
Oh for crying out loud. During the 2002 campaign, Ms. Brown-Waite's husband stole some of her (democratic) opponent's campaign sign, and vandalized some others. Everyone can read about it here. The opponent, Congresswoman Karen Thurman, apparently didn't think it was worth pursuing (read about that here). It was 3 years ago. There is no evidence that Ms. Brown-Waite was involved in (or had any advance knowledge of) her husband's extremely poor behavior choice. Ms. Thurman (her opponent) seemed to manage to let go of it...several years ago, and never misrepresented the situation (as you have) that Congresswoman Brown-Waite was personally responsible for the theft of and vandalism to the campaign signs. But you want to keep chewing on it like a toothless old hound dog with a dried up bone? Okey-dokey. Whatever floats your boat.
She's another RINO.
I don't care if she's a Churkendoose. In regard to the Jessica Lunsford situation, she's doing exactly what she ought to be doing...bringing a national disgrace which directly affected one of her congressional district's constituents to the Congress, and asking for that full body to take the appropriate and necessary steps to try to prevent a reoccurrence in the future. I support her proposed bill to achieve a coordinated national tracking/monitoring system for convicted violent sexual predators, and I'd support that proposed legislation even if it had been initiated jointly by Hillary Clinton and Ted Kennedy. For the life of me, I can't imagine why anyone would oppose a national database, and improved tracking of, and vigilance with regard to, convicted violent sexual predators, but I'm sure you must have your reasons.
have a nice weekend.
I certainly will, thank you!
thanks for bumping the thread.
It was my pleasure. :-D
