This should change the debate, if it gets any attention from the media — which it won’t
Some words of encouragement might be in order Congressman Walt Minnick

Do I smell a patriot amongst the thieves?
A Democrat no less?
Golf claps, Mr. Minnick.

And it took a new Senator to do it..not one corrupted by the System.
I think we should contact him, praise him, and make sure he knows about the Killing off of Seniors amendment.

Idaho pretty conservative.
To: Jimmy Valentine's brother
Did Minnick vote against it? Is he for killing the elderly in the stimulus?
maybe he should ask Obama for his birth certififcate.

Yeah, but I hear the libs are ruining Boise and Coeur d’Alene. Maybe they’ll leave during the recession. Then I can move up there with the guns and the dogs. Here’s hoping the legal secretary market holds up.
