Insult, insult, insult, to get away from the actual issue because you can't explain why your precious party sold you out.

Make an actual comment, that is an actual response, not some two-bit insult job. You're not even good at doing that, let it go.

Good job.

Had a great fourth, thanks. Hope you did too. Spent some time debating with some people about the races, as it tends to go when you're reflecting on America's History.
Ran into a lot of the same stuff that I deal with on here, a lot of partisanship. But in the end it worked out well. One guy I talked to was all like 'blah he's not a democrat' and I'm like, so what, the party politics is old school, it doesn't work now. Okay, think of it like this. Sure he could end up being a wash like you say he could, but what if he isn't? What if he happens to be one of the best leaders Idaho has seen? You would have missed out on that because of party politics. Let's say it doesn't work out and he doesn't do anything, will he be any worse than what we have now? With Sali? No. So if you go with the same guy we already have you know what we're going to get, he'll continue doing what he is doing assuming that you say it's okay because you re-elected the guy. But what if he does do what he says he's going to do? What if he does half of what he says he's going to do? That would be huge. If you actually look at what he wants to do you'll see that most of it is very basic, it's not hard to do, it's taking what we already have and fixing it. He doesn't have to create all new programs and deal with handing out contracts and so on. Take the Seperation of Church and State for instance, he would like to Amend the First Amendment and make that a part of our constitution. A small thing, easy to do, but it would be something that would effect the shaping of this country for the future. He would take FISA and The Patriot Act and check them against the constitution and eliminate the parts of these things that violate it. Again, not a hard thing to do, but it would be huge in giving us back our civil liberties. Mosher would be a working while the rest of these people are off at strip joins or golfing or doing fundraisers. Who do you think is going to make a bigger difference? Someone who just does the job and votes or someone who is literally going to do the work and change things? Bring America back to it's foundation, i.e. the constitution? Hmm? You think Sali is going to do that? He hasn't, if anything he's helped get us away from that. Minnick will just do the job and vote Dem everytime, just like Sali does Rep. Who do you think is actually going to make a difference?
Now realize the people I was talking to weren't teenagers, these are diehard voters here, they come from a long line of politicians, one of the guys grandpa's was some sort of politician in Canada and the other Grandpa was one of our own Representatives. he helped get Larry Craig elected. Dan Mader a former 10-year Rep of ours is a family friend of Mosher's, his mom and her two brothers (his uncles) grew up together. Cindy, Dan's wife was David's sunday school teacher. He has even tried to get Mader to come back and take care of Idaho, but found that the reason Mader quit was because of the gross corruption in Boise. He got sick of it and said no more. Mosher wants to change that.
So you carry on being a troll on message boards, that's fine, throw away your vote and pretend that what the little blurbs that you spout are actually funny. I'll continue supporting mosher because I want something different. I'm tired of being tired with this state and this country and mosher can do something about it. So he has my write-in vote. The media can continue to block him, that's fine. We're winning people over one person at a time. or in this case, 3 people at a time, 2 dems and a repub. Good luck to you and yours.

Melissa.

So are you saying that you find it to merely be a 'convienience' that the people who did a total 180 on something they had been against, just out of nowhere flipped their position because they saw the error of their ways?
Or a convienience that these 'leaders' took contributions from the exact companies that are potentially facing millions if not billions of dollars in lawsuits?

That's too much of a stretch for me. I'm sure you can find exact donors somewhere on the net, probably a good google search.

Now, if I'M not mistaken FISA was created back in the 70's with our very own super senator Frank Church, so the Patriot Act having been passed in the middle of the night without anyone being allowed to read it or debate the act at all was created during the Bush Admin. So what I'm saying here is that we need to go back through FISA and The Patriot Act and take out what is unconstitutional. The Patriot Act was created to manipulate the People's vulnerabilities during a time when America was hurting and scared. FISA was manipulated for the same reason. Now that we have had time to recover we need to go back through these things and clean them up.

As for the war on terror, it's the same thing as the war on drugs. We can't win it with bullets and bombs it just breeds more terrorists. Back in the 80's when we had Afghanista fight the Russian's by Proxy all we had to do after was build them some schools and maybe some hospitals after having spent a billion dollars arming them and 9/11 wouldn't have happened. But we didn't, Rep Charlie Wilson , after this was over, went back to ask for a million dollars for this and was blown off. We could have avoided this whole thing had we done the basic peacekeeping. One of those guys in Afghanistan that was blown off was Osama.

On top of that, it's also not up to us, Militarily anymore, it is up to the Iraqi's to stop killing each other and compromise so they can start basic nation building. The choice is not ours in Iraq, it's theirs. We're just putting our troops in the way.

This whole thing is over when our leaders stop screwing around and actually do their job. The opposition side knows this and they're milking it for all it's worth.

I do have to say I appreciate that you're opening up a discussion on things I'm posting instead of blasting this or that or name calling without actually making a point like the rest of the people on here. So thanks for that and I look forward to having more discussions with you. Maybe you'll jump on the Mosher bandwagon and help promote him.
