Gene Taylor Is Asked About FireGeneTaylor.com On MPB

Gene Taylor was on MPB’s Mississippi Edition Tuesday morning and was asked about a new website called “Fire Gene Taylor” and the website’s attempt to “lump” him in with liberal Democrats and the mention of his staff salary.

The host of the show makes it sound like the FGT is complaining about staff salaries. It’s not. Probably a mistake on MPB’s part. FGT just points out how much we’re paying for representation that we’re not getting. It says nothing about his staff members. I’d probably agree with Gene that they’re doing a fine job. They just need a new boss.

He mentions how hard he worked after Katrina (no mention of any hard work or accomplishments in the 16 years prior to Katrina), he supports the troops, he’s for a strong national defense, he’s conservative, blah, blah, blah. In reality we can get all that with any conservative. The difference is that with any other conservative we wouldn’t have to put up with our representative supporting folks like Nancy Pelosi to lead Congress.

He says he voted for Pelosi because she was with the people of South Mississippi and his effort to socialize wind/flood insurance and John Boehner was against it (because it raises the premiums for everyone in the country to make up for the folks that want to live in coastal areas). In reality, he voted for Pelosi, twice, and she hasn’t done squat for him. He dealt us out to the devil and now she’s having her way in our House.

20 years in Congress and Gene Taylor doesn’t have an ounce of clout with anyone. Wake up Mississippi. Gene Taylor is getting a free ride!

Also, this morning I noticed some of FireGeneTaylor.com’s traffic coming from the Washington DC area; particularly from 2 ip networks:

US House of Representatives – 7 visits
US Senate Sergeant at Arms – 4 visits (not sure why the House SaA hasn’t visited)

Everyone say “hi” to Gene!

Conservatives like you and I are conservative by nature. We tend to take folks at their word and work too hard to come home and make sure we're really being represented in Washington DC.

If Gene Taylor tells us he's a Conservative, why shouldn't we believe him, right? This website takes a deeper look at Gene Taylor's record. You may be surprised at what you'll find here.

We live in one of the most conservative districts in America. We've had the opportunity in the past to elect a good Christian Conservative that will fight for limited government, a strong national defense, fiscal responsibility, and conservative family values - without the liberal representation Gene Taylor has given us.

Furthermore, Gene Taylor has been in Congress for 20 years. He should have seen the recent socialist legislation coming down the pipeline and fought against it. Instead, he has given his support to the most liberal Congress members that are trying to shove this legislation through.
