In the fourth district of Kansas, centered around the Wichita metropolitan area, the KRA endorsed Wichita businessman Mike Pompeo.

RINO Wink "Drink" Hartman's DUI, Florida Driver's License, Florida voting record and Florida tax cheating might be OK in Florida --- But why is Wink Hartman running in Kansas?
Sorry, the link isn’t working from my present computer.
I only talked to Mike Pompeo once for about twenty minutes. The guy was as dumb as a box of rocks. It was scary.
I hope I just caught him on a bad day, or he had a recent head injury, or was drunk. Otherwise, it doesn’t speak well for the Republican Party here in Kansas.
And NOT be a bit smarter than YOU!
I am guessing that you are supporting a different candidate.
Please grow up!
Your choice is either Mike Pompeo or ACLU radical Rajeev Goyle.
Democrat Soros-mouth-piece Goyle can BEAT any of the other Republican candidates in this race.
You better HOPE that Pompeo wins.
If Pompeo does not win, OBAMA WINS!
“To be effective and efficient; deserving of one’s pay.
Origin
Sodium chloride, a.k.a. salt, is essential for human life and, until the invention of canning and refrigeration, was the primary method of preservation of food. Not surprisingly, it has long been considered valuable.
To be ‘worth one’s salt’ is to be worth one’s pay. Our word salary derives from the Latin salarium, (sal is the Latin word for salt). There is some debate over the origin of the word salarium, but most scholars accept that it was the money allowed to Roman soldiers for the purchase of salt. Roman soldiers weren't actually paid in salt, as some suggest. They were obliged to buy their own food, weapons etc. and had the cost of these deducted from their wages in advance.”

It is POSSIBLE, don't you think, that you MIGHT be wrong about political choices, as well?
Like I said, maybe I just caught him on a bad day.
I also didn't say I wouldn't vote for the man when given the choice between him and a Dem opponent. But just because you vote for him doesn't mean you have to canonize him either.
I'm glad he is an accomplished man. Maybe he was the inspiration for the movie Forrest Gump.
As for my use of the expression “He is worth his salt”, I like my use of the expression just fine. The meaning still is around today with the word “salary.” Your link supports this also.
But no offense to your family member. Maybe he just had a bad day.
You put “Catholic” in your name, but you ignore a basic, Christian teaching.
Maybe I am wrong about you?
I think I know your type, but I doubt that I can make a perfect determination even I had known you for several years.
Because of that humility, I am slow to attack you or your character with a broad brush, as you seem to enjoy doing to others.
Your comments against Pompeo were Un-Christian, Un-Catholic, Un-kind and UNTRUE!
But then, maybe YOU are just having a bad day?
Wink Hartman was arrested for DUI and had a FLORIDA driver's license, at the time.
Jean Schodorf has one of the most liberal voting records, in the Kansas House, yet she is running as a Republican.
Anderson is a joke, with no money, he can't win.
Your only choice, if you claim to be a Conservative, is POMPEO!
If you can not see that, you are not a serious person, or you are a liberal at heart.
I got it, I got it.
He did you a favor once, capish?
He owes you money.
He saved your dog from a burning building.
He helped you through your hospital stay when they removed your sarcasm gene.
For some reason you equate Catholic, Christian, truth, and conservatisim with the elevation of Pompeo to sainthood.
Did I say anything about his opponents? Did I praise them? Did I promote them? Did I say they were the bees knees?
Now, what did I say that was untrue? I said I talked to him one time for twenty minutes and he was a two knuckle deep nose picker. That’s it. Do you know any different? No, you don’t.
Hey, if it makes you feel any better I will put a Pompeo yard sign in my yard. You are getting all worked up about it, I’m not. You are the one making it into a personal attack. I didn’t look up your home page for ammo. I didn’t try and discredit your statement by twisting your screen name around and attempting to assasinate your character.
I’m glad you have a man crush on Pompeo. It seems like a harmless fixation...How about I pretend I didn’t have a twenty minute conversation with him and he wasn’t an idiot when I did.
There, you happy?
Most of us are here to support issues and to oppose bad legislation.
Most of us are here to support good candidates and to oppose bad candidates.
You seem to be here for only one reason: To take shots at other posters who might actually believe in someone!
Also, you do not know the meaning of the word, “capish”!
Again, you are a bit odd to even pull up a political blog, if all you can do is attack people without supporting anyone.
I know Mike Pompeo to be a smart, courteous, honest man.
And, yes, I am now calling you a liar and a character assassin.
Everything I post, when I attack someone, is verifiable and true.
I doubt that you ever met Pompeo.
If you did, I say you are a complete liar about that meeting.
State the issues you discussed, would you please?
State Pompeo’s answers to your questions, would you please?
Of course, since you are a troll and a liar, I am sure that you can't!
You have accused Pompeo of being drunk or stupid -— neither of which is true. You have accused Pompeo of being a “two knuckle deep nose picker” which is also NOT TRUE!
You also ridicule me for sticking up for a good man, on a Conservative political blog.
What is YOUR purpose in life?
Why on EARTH are you here, on this Blog, if you have nothing positive to contribute?
We are at war for the survival of our country, and all you seem capable of doing is taking cheap shots at people you do not know.
What is YOUR plan for saving our country?
IF said plan doe not include electing the best person available, for public office, every time you get the chance, please share with us what your plan might be, would you please?
And yes, I do know what the meaning of “capish” is, just like I knew where the expression “He is worth his salt” came from. I also know context, which seems to be something you miss.
If it makes you feel better I'll remember to avoid the topic with you. I don't post to one guy on the Civil War thread because he thinks it's still current. I won't post to you on Kansas politicians because you seem to want to deify them.
I posted what I experienced. If you only post to hear back what you want to hear, why don't you post only to yourself and that way no one can tell you anything different? You will be less upset that way.
We are in a contest of ideas in this country.
If a policeman or fireman came to help you, in an emergency, would you critique them in the way that you have, unfairly, attacked Pompeo?
You have every right to support the candidate of YOUR choice, but that is MY point!
You act as though elections are not important. You act as though politicians are all the same and can be slandered and libeled at will. You think you are better than they are.
What good do you do, on this Earth, with your attitude?
Also, I know projection when I see it.
You are projecting.
It is my thread.
Quit posting.
I only reply when you post.
Also, you are projecting.
It is obvious.
Rajeev Goyle’s father, Vimal has been my mother’s doctor for awhile. My mother is a bit of a fem-nazi, but other than that, basically ignorant of politics. I don’t talk to her much. Just thought I’d throw that out there. I’m voting for Pompeo. His challenger in the primary, Wink Hartman, seems to be a McCain type RINO.
