By the way, Walt Minnick (D-ID) seemed to want it both ways on health care as he also voted against the Stupak amendment to the House's health care bill. The Stupak amendment actually allowed the bill to pass by freeing up pro-lifers to vote for it. Also, Minnick voted against Cap and Trade and the Stimulus. That's a rare Dem. Ward sounds exciting, but do we want to support the Republican party, RINOs and all or Conservatives of any party.

Minnick's first vote was for a democrat as speaker. His next big vote was FOR that lousy GIVE Act - yeah, the one with 'manditory volunteerism' in it.
I will personally have the opportunity to to advance conservatism by:
- Voting against Minnick to rid ourselves of a democrat in congress (always a worthwhile practice in itself)
- participate in furthering the cause of a worthy conservative challenger - via contributions and volunteering time
- Vote out Minnick to help get rid of SPEAKER Pelosi - whom Walt Minnick supports by his very holding of a conservative seat from Idaho
Walt Minnick has NOT stood up and spoken out against the bills his Democrat colleagues have forced through. While he states he cannot vote for those bills because of the state he represents, he is by no means a voice against those bills. Who needs him? He does this state and this country no good at all with a big red 'D' tattooed on his forehead. The democrats pass their garbage with him basically on their side, with or without his vote. He is a Pelosi Democrat.
