You certainly do, FRiend, and I read yours. :)
Thanks for the ping, Sun.
I’ve read a bit about Katherine Jenerette over the past few months. I’m not sure if I read anything about her pro-life views, but I can tell you I’m not surprised by anything she said here. She’s transparently conservative. Pick any issue, and she will come out on the conservative side. And I don’t mean just her statements. She says what she means, and means what she says. She demonstrates conservative values in her actions as well as her words.
I’m generally not comfortable betting on anyone’s strength of character. People (especially politicians) tend to let you down. But I’m convinced Katherine Jenerette is the real deal. She’s an example of the best America has to offer.
[”Okay....here’s one of many problems I have with the allegations in the article”]
There are many more - that as an attorney you can appreciate - and you can see more questions and information about the case and the accuser at the latter part of that thread:

BTW, apparently CPS (Child Protective Services) don’t think that Van is a potential threat to his children since he is not separated from his family, and I think that’s also telling.
My concern was that FReeper Jorge (RIP), Van’s brother, came on the thread in support of the stepdaughter. You have to read through the old threads.
We’ll see.
“I do not agree with the concepts of pre-bates. It is another federal government control mechanism that allows the federal government to maintain leverage over an individual which would be a close cousin to the system we have right now. This would build another level of dependency on the federal government, which would extend far beyond those persons dependent on the federal government right now. However, some legislative plan will have to be enacted for those persons below a certain income level that will be most impacted by the initial 23% tax and indexed until the moratorium is reached.”
So she does not support a universal “pre-bate” but would be ok with one which is means tested and isn’t called a “pre-bate”. She is entitled to her opinion, but I find it much more palatable to remove the burden of taxation up to the poverty level for ALL taxpayers, not just poor ones.
Also, it isn’t another federal government control mechanism since the FairTax was not developed by the federal government. If it has that effect, then it was certainly not calculated. My own view is that there will be counteracting pressures to increase the rebate and to decrease it. All taxpayers would want to see a larger rebate check, but many taxpayers would pressure congress to keep the rate as low as possible, also. Those forces would oppose.
The FairTax isn’t perfect; it’s just vastly superior to the current system and to any of the alternatives.
BTW, Henry Brown is an HR 25 co-sponsor and Buddy Witherspoon has stated that if elected he would become the strongest FairTax supporter in the US senate.
“She’s transparently conservative. Pick any issue, and she will come out on the conservative side. And I don’t mean just her statements. She says what she means, and means what she says. She demonstrates conservative values in her actions as well as her words.”
Coming from you that’s quite a compliment for Katherine Jeanerette, because I know you’re a strong pro-life, conservative, and do your research!
Yes, and I don’t hand out the compliments easily. I have to be very sure of someone before I’ll endorse them. Katherine Jenerette has proven herself to be a strong conservative with good character.
Thanks for pinging Post 44.
We need to support as many pro-life politicians that we hear about.
No, she didn't.
We cannot borrow our way to prosperity.
We need to Balance the Budget.
somebody call McLame and tell him to pick her for VP
a WOMAN AND a CONSERVATIVE would guarantee him the election.
There is a good chance she would actually win too, giving us a REAL conservative (finally)
McLame is probably too stupid to pick an UNBEATABLE ticket-
Walter Williamns would also make him UNBEATABLE
Bump. Good taste in my book.
Good taste and HOT are not mutually exclusive in her case.
Jorge is gone?
Yes. He died just this past April.
