Our paid representative to Congress has again disappeared and to my knowledge made no attempt to associate himself with the real conservatives that he claims to be and represent.

Every day he has a chance to do something to show his loyalty to his adopted Mississippi home, and every day he gets more in line with Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank.

I guess when you are born and raised in New Orleans and then spend 20 years in Washington that you forget just who you represent.

I guess he thinks his district surrounds the ship yard and that’s it.

We just need to follow the money.

Chris McDaniel, Tom King and Kerry Tegerdine did take the time to speak at the Hattiesburg rally and all did a great job. Chris McDaniel has proven his conservative values over and over again and Kerry gave a great speech supporting American values.

Senator King gave a great speech. I only hope that he goes back to the Republican Party and gives it to them.
The Republicans need to remember the values that they claim to have ownership of only to let slide since the Reagan years.

If it wasn’t for tax and spend Republicans and the lies they have told to the American people they would not have lost power.

Republicans need to decide who they are before they ask us to believe them. Republicans should not make the mistake of taking the self destruction of the Democratic Party as a mandate for Republicans. That would be a very grave mistake for you and for our country.

Bring us candidates we can believe in and who support the Constitution with their whole being and we will put all our support behind them.

Here is a hint. Joe Tegerdine = Yes. Thad “Don’t turn down the Pork” Cochran = No.

Gene Taylor, Travis Childers, Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker are proud of Mississippi being a welfare state; we are not.

Dan Lindsay – Hattiesburg

This is important to keep in mind in 2010 when you go to the polls to choose a “D” or a “R”. You can either vote for Gene Taylor to keep the government unchecked and out of balance (because he voted to give the far-left Democrats like Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi power-positions over legislation), OR, you can choose a “R” to restore the checks and balances our Constitution provides and save the Republic.

UNDERSTAND THAT GENE TAYLOR IS PART OF THE PROBLEM!!! IT’S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO VOTE GENE TAYLOR OUT OF OFFICE IN 2010!!!

A few days ago I made a promise to a Conservative Freshman at Jones County Junior College (and supporter of Gene Taylor) that I’d dig up the video of Gene Taylor casting his vote (your vote, my vote, our vote) in support of Nancy Pelosi for Speaker of the House. He refused to believe our Congressman would support Nancy Pelosi, an outspooken critic of his own constituents.

Nancy Pelosi, Democrat from San Francisco (pro-abortion, anti-gun rights, pro-big government, pro-socialized health care, pro-cap and trade, enemy of conservative free speech, etc), was elected Speaker of the House over John Boehner, one of the most Conservative members in Congress, by a vote of 255-174.

So what does the Speaker of the House do anyway? From Nancy Pelosi’s Speaker.gov website:

As specified in the rules and customs of the House, responsibilities of the Speaker include:

• Calling the House to order.
• Administering the oath of office to House Members.
• Presiding over debate, recognizing Members to speak on the floor, and preserving order; or delegating that power to another Member of Congress.
• Setting the legislative agenda. (ramming huge socialist legislation down your throat with no time for debate)
  
• Leading the appointment process for the chairs of the various committees and subcommittees in the House, including conference committees which negotiate final versions of legislation.

The Speaker is also second in the line of succession to the presidency after the Vice President under the Presidential Succession Act of 1947.

Right now we have the most radical socialist White House administration this country has ever seen; we have a long line of far-left, socialist legislation steadily coming down the pipeline that will fundamentally change America; we have a mainstream press that is drunk on progressive kool-aid; and we have the most powerful members of Congress, our public servants and “defenders” of the Constitution, calling concerned citizens Nazi’s, Mobsters, and Extremists when we get fed up with the direction our country is going in.

Aside from the next election and the voice of the American people, the system of checks and balances of our fragile Republic is almost completely gone.

BUT… when Gene Taylor was given the opportunity to cast his vote to restore an ounce of sanity to the legislative process and apply the brakes to the socialism headed our way, he decided to fall in line with Barney Frank, Henry Waxman, Charlie Rangel, and the other far-left liberal career politicians and cast his vote for Nancy Pelosi to lead the most progressive Congress in our Nation’s history.

Shame on you Gene Taylor for deciding that what’s best for America is having Nancy Pelosi lead Congress and orchestrate the legislative process. Here’s the disgusting video…

I don’t know if Gene Taylor has changed over that time and I wasn’t paying attention or what. But he has lost my trust after supporting extreme liberals Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi for the most powerful positions in Congress.

After supporting Gene Taylor for all of these years, I’m doing my part to see that Gene gets voted out of office in 2010.

I know Mr Newsom has only a limited amount of time and space, so I’d like to address the ending couple of paragraphs which contained a comment by Congressman Gene Taylor:

From the SunHerald.com article:

“What’s interesting is I have voted against cap and trade and I have already committed against the Obama health care bill,” Taylor said. “So what’s the beef?” Taylor, who voted for Nancy Pelosi to become House Speaker but often opposes her policies, said those who attempt to link him to the left-wing members of Congress and his party are untruthful.

“I detest liars,” Taylor said. “I really do. I have zero patience for liars. No matter what they’re lying about. Whatever the motivation, if somebody is lying about me, I have no respect for them.”

By the way, anyone that knows me knows that I share Gene Taylor’s sentiments on liars. I have no use for them. And, I live my life in a way that doesn’t require lies and untruths to account for what I’ve said and done.

Anyway, I made a comment to Mr Newsom that would have directly addressed Gene Taylor’s assertion that those who point out his associations to the far-left liberal members of Congress are being “untruthful” – even calling us “liars”.

The only reason I feel compelled to address this is because Gene Taylor made similar statements in an interview on Mississippi Editionn (mp3) and directed them at FireGeneTaylor.com.

You see, it’s not that we are associating Gene Taylor with the most far-left, big bloated government, socialist members of Congress – Gene Taylor obviously did this himself. It looks like he’s found himself in the familiar situation where he’s left with nothing left to do but call people names and accuse them of lying.

For 2 years at a time, Gene Taylor has total control over which members of Congress he decides to support and how he votes on big bloated government legislation. You and I have no control over his decisions until the end of each 2-year term. Let’s take a look at who Gene Taylor supports when he gets up to Washington DC and how he tends to vote. Maybe this represents you and maybe not:

Gene Taylor was the one voted for Nancy Pelosi for Speaker of the House – not me.

Gene Taylor was the one who voted for Barney Frank for Chairman of the House Financial Services committee – not me.

Gene Taylor was the one who voted against investigating Charlie Rangel for tax evasion as well as voted against removing him from the House Ways and Means committee – not me.

As to Gene Taylor opposing Nancy Pelosi’s policies, he voted with her 71% of the time – not me. I also didn’t vote with Barney Frank 82% of the time or Charlie Rangel and Henry Waxman 84% of the time. In the words of John McCain, it was “that one”.

I’m not calling anyone a “liar” or “lying sacks of scum” (my mom would wash my mouth out with soap for that one), but rather than putting himself in the position of having to call FGT and conservative watchdog groups ugly names and completely deny the truth in order to defend the liberal associations he’s created while in Washington DC over the past 20 years as well as his own big-government voting record, maybe Gene Taylor shouldn’t hold those positions in the first place.

I know – call me crazy! But, maybe Gene Taylor should start representing one of the most conservative districts in America when he gets back to Washington DC or step aside for a good Christian conservative who will.

It sure would serve the conservatives in Mississippi’s 4th District better if Gene Taylor would either admit the truth and stop calling others liars, or apologize to his constituents for taking the trust and support we loaned him and giving it to the far-left liberals like Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Charlie Rangel, and others and promise to truly represent our conservative, limited government principles – consistently.

Barney Frank, huge supporter of single-payer health care through a “good” public option (video), is easily one of Congresses most out-spoken proponents of far left, socialist legislation. He has spent his 28 year career building influence among his colleagues and has become one of the most powerful members of Congress.

Barney Frank’s 4th district of  Massachusetts and the 4th district of Mississippi couldn’t be any further from one another on the political spectrum (which makes me wonder why the green circle and the orange circle almost completely overlap one another… hmmm.)

Naturally, a person from Mississippi’s 4th District, one of the most conservative districts in America, would think that their representative in Congress would voraciously oppose a Congress member such as Barney Frank.

In fact, according to OpenCongress.org, Gene Taylor votes with Barney Frank 82% of the time! He also votes with Nancy Pelosi 71% of the time! Remember, GovTrack.us labels Gene Taylor a “follower”. On the other hand, they label Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi a “leader”. And, he voted for Nancy Pelosi for Speaker of the House as well as Barney Frank for Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee.

It’s crystal clear who Gene Taylor follows and the ideology he supports. How can we expect to be represented when our congressman supports far-left liberal Democrats like Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi?

How long will south Mississippians let this continue? 2010? 2012? 2014? Longer?
