   Where have all the other Congressional Cowards gone? Can anybody top Pelosi and Boxer for dereliction of duty?

   Since I live in MI (can anyone say hi tax and spending= high unemployement dem state?), Levin, Stabenow, and Kildee haven’t held ONE yet and doubt they will. That’s ok though, they will see me at the voting polls when their term expires from being voted out!!!!!!

   Virginia found one of its senators. He was in Burma (about as far away as you can get), giving himself a “pat on the back” for rescuing some American in jail. I guess he was trying to emulate Clinton. With all that is going on, this summer, this senator is out of country. It’s another proof that politicians are more interested in their reelections and position, than helping the people who elected them.

    I for one, do not consider the Junior Senator from VA one of my Senators. Have not forgotten how rude he was to the former Presidnet, and that his campaign, like that of the Congressman who was elected (not by me) to represent this Congressional district in Va, was simply a ‘I hate Bush’ campaign.

    Good to see the absconded Gabrielle Giffords (AZ)on the short end of a recall petition, not that it’ll go anywhere. It’s nice to see the local astroturfers putting the heat on her, particularly when she voted for the Crap and Tax nightmare. Hope she’s looking for work next fall; we’ll see if even the vermin liberals from Tucson can help her overcome her steadily decreasing popularity.

    Drudge linked a story in the “Merced County Times”, a link that the paper apparently immediately took down.

    From their ‘front page’:

    Won’t you come home Dennis Cardoza? Why won’t you come home? They cried the whole night long.”
    Aug 13, 2009

    Normally this is the one time of the year that we can expect to hear from our Congressman. Traditionally there are Town Hall meetings to give the constituents a one on one with their Congress in discussion of the various topics being debated on Capitol Hill.

    Our Congressman Dennis Cardoza says there will be no Town Hall meetings. He is not expected to return to Merced County over the summer recess.

    Following that is a “Read More…” linked to the SAME page that Drudge posted but it’s “404″…

    http://www.mercedcountytimes.net/content/2009-08-13/001850

    (I saved the source code as I expect them to scrub the the front page as well 3…2…1…)

    This is the one small grain of credit I give to Arlen Specter; despite taking a lot of heat, he has stayed in the kitchen and continued to hold the meetings. But over the weekend he made some fairly discouraging remarks that made it clear that he STILL DOESN’T GET IT!

    Senator Leahy of VT should have been on the list, along with Congressman Peter Welch, VT, both Democrats. Leahy was off vacationing in the UK on our dime. Senator Sanders had his town hall meetings this past weekend. Even though his socialist views remain unchanged, at least he showed up.

    PROUDGULFWARVET65 (#6) gets it right. I took the same enlistment oath as a draftee when I went into the U.S. Army in 1964. There is NO EXPIRATION DATE on this pledge in my house either.
    ***
    I wondered who the DOMESTIC ENEMIES of the U.S. Constitution were then. I recognize the “democratic” / liberal / socialist / statist / marxist / communist President Obama (PBUH) and his congressional minions as the enemies of our Constitution and way of life now.

    That’s more than I can get back from Kay Hagen. No replies to multiple emails over the last few weeks, can’t even get them to answer the phones most of the time.

    That said, she is also being inundated with calls and emails from Progressives, who believe she is a fence sitter, and are targeting her heavily, as well.

    Dick Morris suggested that a hand written letter would be more effective then an email or posting on their web page. So I composed 3 letters to send to my Senators, John (get the difibrillator)McCain, Jon Kyle and my state Rep. Raul Grijalva (D), I hope that was not an hour wasted!!

    I’m a big supporter of Gov. Palin and John Bolton, IMHO, I’d prefer Mr. Bolton as Sec. Of State with his hard nosed, but diplomatic conservative Americanism. The man is intelligent, can hit ‘em the eye and their not sure what happened to them…no messing around with him.

    Good news and bad news today on the Hollywood Ma’am’s re-election problems.

    Good news first: she is vulnerable and could be beaten.

    Bad news: the likely GOP candidate is Carly Fiorina, “top surrogate” for John McCain during his presidential campaign. In other words, Assistant Democrat.

    While Carly Fiorina is deciding whether or not she will run against Senator Barbara Boxer, Chuck DeVore is already actively campaigning against Boxer.

    I was very impressed by Chuck DeVore when I heard him speak!

    Check him out at:

    We, the people, do have options, if we support conservative candidates early!

    Cowboy:

    Ike has been like that forever. The only reason he keeps getting voted in is because of his tenure and his position on the House Armed Services Committee (I think that’s the one). Whiteman AFB is in his district, and people are just oh-so-scared that if good ol’ Ike ain’t re-elected that Whiteman will go bye-bye.

    He’s also been a solid 2nd Amendment vote over the years.

    What people fail to realize is that Whiteman would be just as safe with somebody else in there, and that finding a solid 2nd Amendment candidate in Missouri is as easy as falling off a wagon.

    I wish the people in our congressional district would wake up, look at Ike’s record as a whole, and realize he’s no better than any other lib donkey congresscritter and give him the heave-ho.
