Childers launches district wide working tour

From WDAM: "Congressman Childers to launch district wide working tour"

This of course begs the question, what has he been doing before now?

Childers says

"I've been working full-time since I was 16 years old. Serving the people of North Mississippi is the most important job I've had. Today, North Mississippi families are struggling to makes ends meet. I've been fighting to create and save jobs and improve our economy, protect seniors' Social Security savings, and provide our children with the quality education they need to succeed. It's important to me to hear from the people of the First District about these issues. That's why I've been in all 24 counties since day one. I look forward to continuing to put North Mississippi first by talking directly with voters about the real issues that matter to them."

How can anyone be in all 24 counties since day one? Did he visit all counties on day one? Does he spend every day visiting all 24 counties? And when was day one? Was "day one" on Tuesday when he launched this tour? And if not, why do you tour some place where you already are and have been? Maybe tomorrow morning when each of us wake up, we should tour our own homes.

Look, we know what Childers is trying to say; but it isn't what he is saying. But why is that any different from the rest of his leadership?

Sun Herald - Khan for Congress

Who knew the Sun Herald had actually endorsed a Ricardo Montalbán character for Congress?

Tanned and open-collared, Taylor Khan embodies the Coast wherever he goes, from Bay St. Louis to Afghanistan.

But times have been tough.

Yet his face has lost that boyish look. Partly, no doubt, because he just turned 57. But probably more so because he lost almost everything but life to Katrina Ceti Alpha V, an experience that aged us all.

The Sun Herald says he is for a strong national defense. Kirk agrees, "You have a tendency to express ideas in military terms, Mister Khan."

The Sun Herald says he is for a "smaller national debt that does not endanger our future with debilitating interest payments." Khan says, "We offered the world order!!"

The Sun Herald says Khan will fix the insurance problems, unfortunately, he replies, "You are in a position to demand nothing, sir. I, on the other hand, am in a position to grant nothing."

While we do not agree with him on everything, Gene Taylor Khan Noonien Singh has never given us reason to think that he has anything but the best interests of his constituents at heart. Such loyalty deserves our support.

In the words of Khan, "Save your strength, Captain Palazzo, these people have sworn to live and die at my command two hundred twenty years before you were born a candidate.

Respond Mississippi respectfully disagrees with the Sun Herald. As Captain Kirk said to Spock, "We can be against him and admire him all at the same time."

Mississippi Tea Party Billboards - Childers, Pelosi, Thompson

The Mississippi Tea Party has billboards up connecting Travis Childers, Nancy Pelosi, and Bennie Thompson. It is a pleasant thing to see when traveling up and down the highway.

Government Motors Contributes to Bennie Thompson

Taxpayers own 60% of GM. Are you happy they are giving campaign dollars to Bennie Thompson?

Change That Matters

From the clever IMAO

The Democrats unveiled their fancy new logo today:Didn’t take long for me to figure out what it looked like:Just needs a new slogan to go with it.

“Crap that splatters”, maybe?

Clever.

Will Mississippi be sued over voting fraud?

The Washington Times had an interesting editorial suggesting Mississippi might be one of the states targeted by a private lawsuit over potential voter fraud.

The dead voters may be forced back into their graves.

16 states will start receiving official "notice letters" from [whistleblowing former U.S. Department of Justice attorney J. Christian Adams] warning of coming private-action lawsuits to compel them to enforce these particular provisions of the law. This appears to mean that the Justice Department is refusing to make states comply with federal voter-verification laws - which is why the task will fall to Mr. Adams, helping represent private citizens whose legal votes otherwise would be diluted in value by fraudulent votes.

The evidence adduced by Mr. Adams, who resigned in protest from the Obama Justice Department, is so stark as to beg the question of how the department could miss it other than by deliberately, lawlessly ignoring it.

Mr. Adams' notice letters report that South Dakota, for example, has 17 counties with more registered voters than there are citizens of voting age living there. Mississippi has 17 such counties. Alabama has seven, and Indiana, Kentucky and Texas have 12 each. Most of the states threatened with suits have reported no cleaning of their voter lists for years.

Along those lines, Mr. Adams' missives also include Freedom of Information Act requests for the lists of federal felony convictions that the federal "motor voter" law requires the Justice Department to provide to election officials in each state. The direct intent of the requirement is to enable states that ban felon voting to scrub those names from their registration lists. The implication from Mr. Adams is that the Justice Department is ignoring that part of the law, too.

Butch Brown Trial November 18

The Sun Herald updates us on Butch Brown, executive director of the Mississippi Department of TourismTransportation, and his Beau Rivage adventure.

Mississippi Department of Transportation Director Larry L. “Butch” Brown has pleaded not guilty to a public intoxication charge and is set to stand trial Nov. 18.

The charge stems from Brown’s arrest in July at Beau Rivage casino. Biloxi police records say Brown was “intoxicated and unconscious” at a slot machine at 5:43 a.m. Brown has maintained his innocence in the case, but didn’t return a phone call seeking comment Thursday.

Casino security placed Brown under citizen’s arrest until Biloxi police arrived. He was booked into the Harrison County jail, where he later posted a $480 bond. Brown’s disorderly conduct charge was dropped at the casino’s request. Biloxi police filed the public intoxication charge against Brown, for which he will stand trial before one of Biloxi’s two municipal judges.
