The Republicans led a twenty year expansion of the Idaho economy. Let's stop doing anything a Republican says and do it all Zeke's way so we can look like Detroit.

Thanks AGAIN for nothing Butch. What a looser. How about yeilding nothing for Idaho.

$60 million in one term or he does not run for a second.

Idaho had no place to go but up the last 20 years. Doubting any political party had much to do with the greatest population expansion since the baby boom era. Maybe if the Democrats had been in charge you might have seen a tenfold increase in economic expansion in Idaho the last 20 years. Guess we'll never know.

Obama will help get us 60 billion!

raising wages and salaries by 18%. That would put us about even with the rest of the country and produce the desired economic gain.

Please Butch don't run again

I don't think Idaho can afford the likes of you and yours for a second term. If you do run, run to the farm and stay there. You are not liked here, or don't you care about that? Don't let the door hit you on your way out.
