Tom Harkin- recognized as a “Porker of the Month”

October 21, 2008 by 1 Comment

 

Sen. Harkin: “I happen to be a supporter of earmarks, unabashedly.  But I don’t call them earmarks.  It is ‘Congressional directed spending. “

Just two short years ago Tom Harkin was recognized as PORKER OF THE MONTH. And guess what, after having this distinction Harkin did not mend his free spending, greedy ways. He continues to have his hands out, grabbing for more funds. And the Great American Sellout/Bail Out Bill? Let’s call it what Harkin calls it: Congressional directed spending. There, as an Iowa taxpayer does this newly found Harkin term make you feel any better?

Harkin was not sorry for his Liberal spending ways in 2006 and he is not sorry for them in 2008. Iowa voters/taxpayers must NOT re-elect Tom Harkin or two years from now Harkin’s list of pork barrel prizes will be even longer and more digesting.

I call on informed voters to support Christopher Reed. Say NO to the ear mark abuse of Tom Harkin .

CAGW Names Sen. Tom Harkin
Porker of the Month

Washington, D.C. – Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) today named Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) Porker of the Month for proudly proclaiming himself to be an unabashed supporter of earmarks.

On November 25, The New York Times published a story on incoming Appropriations subcommittee chairs, or “Cardinals.”  The article quoted Sen. Harkin as saying, “I happen to be a supporter of earmarks, unabashedly.  But I don’t call them earmarks.  It is ‘Congressional directed spending.’ “

This is a prime example of Washington doublespeak because all federal spending is directed by Congress.  Sen. Harkin implies that Congress can spend money however it wants and that earmarking is a normal part of the budget process.  In reality, earmarking is a secretive, corrupting, and wasteful practice that bypasses normal budget procedures.  That is why most earmarks are properly called “pork.”  Furthermore, the proliferation and widespread abuse of earmarks is a relatively recent phenomenon.

The Times also noted Sen. Harkin’s habit of earmarking millions of dollars in defense spending for breast cancer research.  He responded, “Now, was that bad?  If you left it to the Defense Department, they never would have done it.”

The reason the Defense of Department does not conduct cancer research on its own accord is that such spending, along with thousands of other pork-barrel projects costing nearly $15 billion last year, falls outside its national security mission.  In fiscal 2005, the federal government spent $560.1 million on breast cancer research through the National Cancer Institute.  If Sen. Harkin wants more funding for breast cancer research, his proposal should be debated, authorized, and integrated into the federal government’s existing research framework; not snuck into an unrelated bill.  The duplication of efforts across different departments and agencies weakens the government’s overall approach to all research.

Sen. Harkin, set to chair the Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies Appropriations Subcommittee in the 110th Congress, has helped to pull in $275,503,642 in pork for his state since 2000, including $1,000,000 for development of an American River Museum in Dubuque (2002) and $250,000 for the National Cattle Congress in Waterloo (2006).

A recently-announced, year-long joint resolution will apparently stave off the earmarks in the nine unfinished appropriations bills for fiscal 2007.  Also, a “moratorium” on earmarks is in place until budget reforms are passed.  For defending earmarking in the face of widespread agreement over its defects, for bringing home hundreds of millions of dollars in pork-barrel spending, and for muddying the priorities of federal departments, CAGW names Sen. Tom Harkin its Porker of the Month for December 2006.

The Citizens Against Government Waste is the nation’s largest nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement in government.  Porker of the Month is a dubious honor given to lawmakers, government officials, and political candidates who have shown a blatant disregard for the interests of taxpayers.

“Taxes, spending spark differences at (Ames, IA) forum”

October 21, 2008 by 6 Comments

According to The Tribune article about the League of Women Voters/Chamber of Commerce Forum held in Ames it must have been quite interesting. Reading between the lines it must have been us verses them. You can read and decide- 3 women vs. 3 men or 3 Liberal, ready to spend Democrats vs. 2 Republicans and 1 Libertarian, standing firm about taxes and pork barrel spending.

Ryan Rhodes (Republican from District 45) scored points with me when I read that he would do away with pork spending for an Amtrak station. It sounds to me like the project “may” bring Amtrak to the Des Moines area. Leave it to Democrats to have a $300,000. project (an Amtrak  station)  for something still in the study phase.

To assist voters I share The Tribune article as printed. Draw your own conclusions. I can and will vote for Ryan Rhodes, but given the opportunity I would also vote for Dave Deyoe and Eric Cooper. These men seem to be clear thinkers. How refreshing in politics!

Taxes, spending spark differences at forum

By: Bob Zientara

10/21/2008

Updated 10/21/2008 12:00:46 PM CDT

“The state’s approaching budget crunch dominated conversation Monday night as local political candidates listed what they would cut to balance the books and predicted how they thought the state could cope with declining revenue.

Six candidates competing for three Mid-Iowa state legislative offices traded opinions on the issues in a forum at Ames City Hall, cosponsored by the League of Women Voters and the Chamber of Commerce.

Besides money, talk turned to public funding for elections, education, crime sentencing guidelines and the statewide smoking ban.

An Amtrak station at Dubuque became a bone of contention when questioner Sandy Hoenig wanted to know what the candidates would cut from the budget.

Republican Ryan Rhodes, challenging Democrat Beth Wessel-Kroeschell in House District 45, said he would do away with the $300,000 project. Wessel-Kroeschell, who said she will chair a committee to study the idea next month, defended the project because it may bring Amtrak back to the Des Moines metro area.

Dave Deyoe, Republican incumbent in House District 10, likened the Amtrak station to pork and said the same about the Legislature’s support for the Des Moines River Walk.

His challenger, Democrat Susan Radke, said a proposed new state office building may have to be postponed.

House District 46 incumbent Democrat Lisa Heddens said the state might have to put off some spending, but she added that priorities such as teacher pay and health coverage for children should remain. She said a reserve fund of “well over $600 million” would help the situation.

Libertarian Eric Cooper, Heddens’ challenger, said he would cut spending by “get(ting) nonviolent drug offenders out of jail,” and he suggested church-based networks to help the poor.

Tax policy came up when questioner Bernie Gerstein wanted to know what the candidates thought of sales taxes.

Heddens, Radke and Wessel-Kroeschell all said they thought sales taxes were regressive.

“But I haven’t seen a list of (budget items) not to support,” Heddens said.

Cooper disagreed, saying the “sales tax is one that you choose to pay,” while property taxes don’t focus on ability to pay and income taxes penalize productivity.

“The better question is which taxes will be increased,” Deyoe said. “Assuming the Medicaid (projections) are accurate, we are running a deficit as we speak. We’ll have a difficult problem when we get back (to the next session).”

Dean Prestemon asked how the candidates stood on the Voter Owned Iowa Clean Elections law, which would fund elections with public money.

Deyoe, Rhodes and Cooper opposed the idea.

“Every donation is a personal stake in the election,” Rhodes said, adding that public money would keep officials from being accountable.

Wessel-Kroeschell, Radke and Heddens said they would support the idea.

“We need to take special interests out of politics,” said Wessel-Kroeschell, who said she sponsored the bill.

She cited the defeat of a bottle deposit bill as evidence of powerful groups working against beneficial legislation.”

Bailey’s Vote for Sale?

October 21, 2008 by 2 Comments

For two years the residents of Iowa House District 9 have been represented by a man whose very office was bought and paid for by special interests and industrialists. After reading that many people are going to assume that District 09 has been represented by a Republican. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Iowa House District 09 is the district represented by McKinley Bailey. You want some proof of that, just check out the non-partisan website operated by the National Institute on Money in State Politics, followthemoney.org. I will even provide you with a direct link to Bailey’s page on this website, here. As you can see, Mr. Bailey is one of the top fundraisers in the state of Iowa with $53,444 raised so far in this election cycle. Just scroll down a little further and you can see all the special interest groups and corporations that have donated to his campaign. I won’t bore you with a complete list of donors, but I will outline a few of the larger donations that he has received.

1.      Master Builders of Iowa/AGC $3,000

2.      Iowa Bankers Association, $2,500

3.      John Deere & Co $2,000

4.      Iowa Association of Business and Industry $1,750

5.      Iowa Hospital Association $1,000

Here is a breakdown of where Bailey’s contributions have come from,

 

This list is far from all of the contributions made to Bailey campaign coffers. In all actuality it is just the tip of the iceberg. What do these groups receive in return for their investment? They must be receiving something otherwise they would not be contributing to his campaign. Any ideas that I have on that subject would be mere speculation on my part, instead I will let our readers make their own deductions based upon the evidence provided.

Now Bailey’s opponent on the other hand, Jamie Johnson, has raised just $13,170 in this election cycle, Johnson’s first campaign. The proof of my comments on this are located here, the same website from above but with Johnson’s campaign report. Check it out and you will see that Johnson has received a donation from significantly less special interest groups.

1.      William A. Krause Revocable Trust, $250

2.      Patriot PAC, $200

3.      Iowa Dental Association, $100

Here is a breakdown of where Jamie Johnson’s contributions have come from.

That is it. There are no other special interest groups contributing to Johnson’s campaign. The rest of his donations are either from the Republican Party or private citizens. Once again, I want the readers to come to their own conclusions based on this evidence.

I think that if the residents of District 09 took a long hard look at who is paying for the campaigns of these two candidates they will come to the clear conclusion that one of them is bought and sold by special interest groups and the business lobby. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this one out. Now I am going to opine on this race and the consequences of the wrong outcome.

I think that it is clear to see that McKinley Bailey is bought and paid for by special interest groups and the business lobby. Just look at his list of donors, that alone should make it plain to see that he does not have the best interests of his constituents in mind when he casts his vote in the Iowa House of Representatives. Citizens of House District 09, you have a very clear choice for you in the race for the Iowa House. You can choose a candidate that lobbyists and other special interests have flocked to this year. Or you can choose the candidate that is being supported by average ordinary citizens. The choice is yours, what will it be?

Don’t hold your breath for stardom, Patty Judge

October 21, 2008 by 1 Comment

Today a caller in to Jan Mickelson’s WHO Radio show caught my attention. After doing some searching I came up with the article below to give yet another reason why I support Sarah Palin. Patty Judge thinks she has found a new past time- that of comedienne. Judge keeps up her efforts to make Sarah Palin a punching bag for Democrats.

Patty Judge continues to “annoy” me. Judge gives me yet one more reason to show that Democrats love to point out the faults in others while they ignore their very own defective views.

Callmecrusader has a suggestion for Patty Judge- stick to your work with disarming livestock on your farm near Albia. Leave serious politics to Sarah Palin. Don’t be waiting for a call from Barack or an offer to debate Sarah Palin. You are small potatoes in Iowa politics so just stick to being entertainment for like minded, Liberal, misguided Iowa Democrats. You prove to smart voters how harmless you really are.

And, Iowans- this article is yet another reason to vote for quality, conservative candidates! Please read on.

Lieutenant governor says Palin “annoys” her

Radio Iowa News

Saturday, October 4, 2008, 8:56 PM

By O.Kay Henderson

“Lieutenant Governor Patty Judge told a crowd of over a thousand Iowa Democrats tonight that Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin “annoys” her.

“I debated on whether I should even bring Sarah up tonight because, you know, I think the bloom is off the rose here,” Judge said. “…But if you go to a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert, you do expect to hear ‘Freebird” so, for just about a minute here, I want to talk about this on-going situation between Sarah and me.”

In mid-September, Judge said Palin, who has said she has field dressed a moose, had nothing on her because Judge has castrated calves on her farm near Albia, Iowa.  ”Of all the women in the United States of America, why did John McCain pick Sarah Palin?” Judge asked, and the crowd applauded. “If she is qualified to be the vice president of the United States, a heartbeat away from the presidency, why didn’t Barack Obama call me?” There was laughter from the crowd of Democrats.

The lieutenant governor continued on that theme, suggesting she and Palin had other similarities, like they both wear glasses and they both love their kids. ”I can probably get past the ‘aw shucks’ business and the ‘you’re darn right’ stuff. The winking is super annoying,” Judge said, to more applause and cheers from the crowd. “…In the final analysis, I’ll tell you why she annoys me so much: when John McCain picked this woman to be his running mate, it was a reckless, arrogant act.”

Women in the crowd got to their feet to applaud. A woman in the crowd shouted: “You go girl!” and Judge replied: “Thank you,” before concluding her nearly 10 minute speech.

Judge was one of the many politicians who got to speak before former Vice President Al Gore, who was the keynote speaker at the Iowa Democratic Party’s 2008 Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner. Gore, by the way, had been listening to Judge’s rant. ”Patty, I would pay money — I’d pay a lot of money to watch you and listen to you debate Sarah Palin,” Gore said with a laugh. The crowd cheered and whistled. “If there’s just some way that we could arrange that. Why don’t you call up Larry King?” As you may recall, Gore — as the Democratic Party’s vice presidential nominee in 1992 — faced down Independent presidential candidate Ross Perot in a highly-publicized joint appearance on The Larry King show on CNN.”

Kent Sorenson: A Candidate Who Will Represent HD 74

October 21, 2008 by Leave a Comment

I believe that candidate Kent Sorenson can wrestle away a seat in the Iowa House from Democrat Mark Davitt in district 74.  In a district that is 36% Democrat, 30% Republican, and 34% Independents (who are most likely conservatives who have felt let down by their party) Kent Sorenson has shown that he can represent a lot of his district.  As Kent goes door to door he realizes that most people agree with the issues he is promoting………..it doesn’t matter what party he is from. 

The problem in this district like in every other district in Iowa is that we lose track of the people we elect once they get to the state house.  We may not even realize what our representative is voting for or against.  Do voters of district 74 realize that their representative, Mark Davitt, voted against having the Iowa flag displayed in public schools and also voted against saying the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of the school day?  Or that he voted to give illegal immigrants just about every right possible but yet he didn’t give you the right to vote on the marriage amendment?  The voters need to know that now because there is someone challenging Mr. Davitt who much better represents their values and ideas.

Kent Sorenson is not a politician.  He is a small business owner who realized that his representative, Mark Davitt, was not paying attention to the people in his district.  He also realized while lobbying for issues at the Capitol that some of the problems we see are just the tip of the iceberg.  He has witnessed the freedoms we have as Iowans being eroded away, such as the smoking ban and the right to work being challenged.  He has seen too much governmental power invade our lives.

Kent Sorenson is a strong fiscal and social conservative.  He believes that government spending is out of control and wants to limit that spending and lower taxes to stimulate the economy.  Kent believes that marriage is between one man and one woman and that life begins at conception.  He believes that families know the best way to raise children and not the government and believes in parental rights, because strong families are the key to a strong state.  Kent is also pro-education and believes that we need to return to the policies that made Iowa #1 twenty years ago like keeping parents involved, supporting effective educators, and keeping control at the local district level through the school boards that are elected.

In Kent’s interview with WHO’s Steve Deace, he pointed out that he is a Christian, husband, father, citizen, small business owner, conservative, and Republican………..in that order.  He pointed out that he is who he is, like it or not, and he will stand up to his party if they conflict with his roles on the top of his list.  He pointed out that, to him, being his district’s representative is not a Republican thing, not a Democrat thing, but an Iowa thing.  Vote for Kent Sorenson on November 4th district 74!

Mike Huckabee and Sanctity of Life Petition

October 21, 2008 by 1 Comment

Mike Huckabee is urging Americans to take action on his “Sign My Sanctity of Life Petition.” I share his letter and my own encouragement to take the time to read the powerful words by Huckabee and then sign this important petition.

http://www.huckpac.com/?FuseAction=GetInvolved.ISupportLife

“I support and have always supported passage of a constitutional amendment to protect the right to life. My convictions regarding the sanctity of life have always been clear and consistent, without equivocation or wavering. I believe that Roe v. Wade should be over-turned.

I know there are millions of Americans who believe as I do. All are concerned about the negative impact an Obama presidency and a Democrat controlled Congress will have on the Courts and the fight to overturn Roe v. Wade if they should win this Election Day.  We cannot let that happen.

If you are as concerned about this issue as I am, I urge you to sign our “I Support The Sanctity of Life” petition today. Our goal is to identify 100,000 pro-Life voters by Election Day and have them sign the petition.

I hope you will be one of the first to sign the petition and then forward it to friends and family. We will track our progress on the front page of our website.

With less than 20 days to go, time is of the essence so please contact your co-workers, friends at church, family and whoever else you can think of who is willing to sign this petition.

During the presidential campaign we relied on networks of friends to turn out the vote and distribute information. Our Bloggers, Meetups, Huck’s Army, Facebook and MySpace groups led the way online. We accomplished great things working together. Time after time, I have read the comments on our blog asking for the next assignment. This is it.

Blog about it, post a message on twitter, post a message to your social networking profile or just pick up the phone and make some calls to friends and family. However you can spread the word and encourage voters to sign our petition.

To me, life doesn’t begin at conception and end at birth. Every child deserves a quality education, first-rate health care, decent housing in a safe neighborhood, and clean air and drinking water. Every child deserves the opportunity to discover and use his God-given gifts and talents.

I know you agree. Let’s remind the Barack Obama and the Democrats that the constituency of pro-life voters is alive and well.  Sign our petition today!

With deep gratitude,

Mike Huckabee”

Republican Leadership for Tom Harkin, Voters for Christopher Reed

October 21, 2008 by 3 Comments

All of you Republicans for Harkin, especially party leadership- listen up. Reed is still out there fighting and working for his campaign! He is not giving up. Christopher Reed believes that he can offer more than your candidate, Tom Harkin!

I shout out: Keep it up Christopher Reed. Real, authentic, conservative, family values Iowans want YOU to be our Senator! Reed will do what’s “good for Iowa”! The voters candidate has spoken out.

http://www.whotv.com/Global/story.asp?S=9207958&nav=menu100_9_7

October 20th, 2008 – “Christopher Reed beat two others in June to win the Republican primary.  Check out his resume. Reed is 36 and lives in Marion.  He’s married with three kids and another on the way.  Reed was a varsity wrestler at Solon High School. He spent five years in the navy.  And these days he runs a telephone answering business.  He told Channel 13′s Dave Price why he thinks you should elect him your next United States Senator.

“I thought it was my civic duty to throw my hat in the ring if I thought I could do a better job.” That’s why Christopher Reed says he’s here.  Many days he’s a one man moving billboard across Iowa, no driver, just Reed and his G.P.S.

Reed says, “It’s a big task but I think it’s worthwhile to do.  I think it’s necessary to do.”

Reed’s own words on his campaign website show the challenge of a man new to politics.  He’s trying to beat Tom Harkin, who’s been in congress almost as long as Reed’s been alive.  And he won’t do it with money.  Reed recently raised about eleven thousand dollars.  Harkin… about eight million!

“When I go to Washington,” says Reed, “and a vote comes before me, I don’t have to call the people who are padding my wallet to find out how they want me to vote.  I’d ask two questions on a bill. Is it good for Iowa?  Is it good for America?  Then, I sign it.”

So without the name identification and the money of his opponent, Reed knows his only chance is to have a better message, a believable message.  He says, “If you’re just yourself, it’ll come through.  I’m not trying to sell anything I’m not.  I don’t believe I’m the greatest person that’s ever lived.  I do believe I offer the state of Iowa a lot more than Tom Harkin can offer them and that is somebody who will put Iowa first when they’re in Washington.”

Reed says his past keeps him from putting himself first.  Five years in the navy taught him humility.  ”One thing the navy taught me,” says Reed, “Was that there’s a duty bigger than myself and there’s an obligation bigger than myself and that’s what I want to take to Washington, a sense of not just leadership, but ownership in what I do, making sure it’s good for Iowa.”

A voter proud of Tom Latham

October 21, 2008 by Leave a Comment

On the two Iowa State Daily Opinion pages from the October 20 edition, I found one lonely conservative voice placed at the bottom of the second page devoted to opinions. There among “I won’t be voting”, “A lesson to be learned from love” (supporting first graders attending a gay wedding in California, among other things), “rich people don’t need to get richer” and insights to ‘Maverickness’, I found a letter of support for Tom Latham!

Sharing the letter is my effort to create a fairer and balanced playing field, via Iowa Defense Alliance, for those interested in hearing what a Conservative mind has to say. Way to go Nicole, your letter in the ISD is awesome. We do need leaders to will listen to the voters before they vote. And, good for you, at least you will be voting!

LETTERS: Incumbent Iowa Congressman Latham deserves to have your vote for standing up for our lives

“This election is likely to be one of the most important and consequential elections that any of us will ever experience in our lives. Therefore, it is important that we study the issues and candidates and make informed and educated decisions about who we should elect to office.

This year, I am planning to vote for Congressman Tom Latham because I know he is a leader that has a proven track record of standing up for us in Congress. Too often, we send people to Washington and they fall in love with Washington. Thankfully, we have a Congressman in Latham that keeps Iowa front and center in every action he takes. I know that this election is not just about the next four years, it is about the next forty. This is an election about whether future generations of Americans are going to be afforded the same kinds of opportunities that current and past generations have enjoyed. We need to ensure that we have the right people in the right positions at this very important time.

For me, Congressman Tom Latham is that man. He voted against the big Wall Street greed bailout bill and has been a consistent advocate for more renewable and alternative fuels, lower taxes and less government intrusion. My vote is for Tom Latham because he has stood up for us time and time again. When you fill out your ballot, please join me in voting to keep Tom Latham working for us.”

No “gloom” here, David Yepsen!

October 21, 2008 by 3 Comments

 

Yepsen: Lift GOP gloom: Look to the future

I hear you, David Yepsen. The Iowa Brigade and Iowa Defense Alliance hears you, as well. While we would rarely agree with much of anything that you have to say, you are on target with the one paragraph shared here from your Sunday Register column.

http://www.desmoinesregister.com/article/20081019/OPINION01/810190323/0/GETPUBLISHED03robots.txt

-        Get some new leaders and fresh candidates. Those who led the party into this mess aren’t the ones to lead it out. New ones will bring fresh energy, campaign skills and image to the party.

The GOP DOES need “new leaders and fresh candidates”. Since you brought the subject up here are some of our favorite names:

OPERATION TAKE BACK THE IOWA HOUSE

CHRIS HAGENOW (DISTRICT 59)

KENT SORENSON (DISTRICT 74)

ADAM VANDALL (DISTRICT 41)

RYAN RHODES (DISTRICT 45)

JAMIE JOHNSON (DISTRICT 9)

JANE JECH (DISTRICT 43)

LARRY DISNEY (DISTRICT 67)

AUSTIN LORENZEN (DISTRICT 18)

DOUG SMITH (DISTRICT 95)

STEVE SVEJDA (DISTRICT 64)

LARRY VOORHEES (DISTRICT 68)

AND

Christopher Reed, U.S. Senate Candidate

Oh, and Mr. Yepsen, Conservatives are alive and well in the Iowa GOP. As evidenced here on the Iowa Defense Alliance, we are speaking out, taking on the Democrats, party leadership, and the media. We are united in our goal to have a strong voice for issues that matter to pro-life, family values, and taxpayers who live in Iowa.

Thanks again for your interest in the Iowa GOP as evidenced in your long column of advice. We are looking to the future and we plan to be an important part of the discussion.  And one more thing: it’s not too late. We’re just getting started!

Mr. Sodders, Game On

October 21, 2008 by 9 Comments

And now it appears that the Democratic Party of Iowa has jumped on the distortion bandwagon. I have just received a mailer paid for by the Iowa Democratic Party that distorts Jarret Heil’s comments from our Iowa Brigade Questionnaire. Of course I don’t expect any better out the Gronstal Party of Iowa. They specialize in distortions, half truths and outright lies in their never ending quest for more power. In this quest they trample all over truth, honor, and integrity.

They continue the misrepresentations put forth by the group Midwest Enterprise Group that we shined the publicity light on in a previous article. We have already defended Heil’s comments against these gross misrepresentations. I am growing used to the same cowardly attacks from the same cowardly people. These Democrats are showing that they really don’t have a firm grasp on reality and are just throwing jabs out hoping that it will stick. I shouldn’t have to tell people that Jarret Heil could not implement the FairTax even if he wanted to. That is a program that would have to be implemented at the Federal level. Unless it has changed since the last time I checked Jarret was running for a State Senate seat. If you need it explained to you again, you can check out the first article that we posted about this subject here. You can also find a link to the FairTax so that you may fully understand the concept. Of course for those Democratic operatives reading this, it may help if you check out that link as well, you might learn something.

Of course I had sent an email to Heil’s opponent Steve Sodders, asking him to denounce the lies and misrepresentations promoted by his support group. I guess that I have received my answer. Mr. Sodders has shown himself to have the integrity of sand. His campaign is utilizing the efforts of this shadow group and is tarnishing his reputation. I suppose that I have only one thing to say to Mr. Sodders, game on.
