Dittos...but one constructive comment: use spell check :0)

Yeah, in my excitement over the possibility of finally attaining conservative representation I forgot to spell-check.

Yeah, I may be slavishly dependent on spellcheckers, but I'll never become a slave to big fat government largesse, or a thought-slave to the pie-in-the-sky promises of politicians!

Cholo -- assuming u have or once had a job i have two simple questions for you

Would you take unemployment if you got laid off and had a family to support?

If you had a job and the company had a severance policy would you accept the severance money when you were made redundant?

Harmer is a well known MODERATE Republican. He's only playing HIS GAME by trying to pass himself off as a conservative. He has never accomplished much in the political arena.

Harmer is NOT a conservative.

Harmer goes with the flow and fights for NADA. the truth hurts...tee hee hee, eeh eeh eet...

i rest my case!

We have a fantastic Congressman doing a great job representing us in Washington D.C. named Jerry Mcnerney. Jerry as an extra bonus lives in the District. How can anyone take Harmer seriously when he does not even live in the district. We will never be fooled again by anyone in the GOP and return to the failed GOP policies. We all should be thankful that McNerney and Obama are leading us out of this horrible GOP caused recession. They have our economy growing again without the help of a single GOPer. They have returned our great country to it's respected place as the leader of the free world. Thank you Jerry McNerney!!!

"Do YOU have any extra money to pay more taxes? "

"Could YOU use a little extra money for yourselves, if the federal politicians spent less of your hard earned tax dollars?"

Tax cuts? You've got to be kidding. Without cutting Medicare, Social Security, or defense, there is no chance of balancing the budget. We are already spending far more than we are taking in on those programs alone! Even if we cut everything else we will still have a deficit if we don't cut those programs. Tax cuts will only make matters worse. Taxes are lower today than they were thirty years ago. Tax cuts a gimmicks.

We should also keep in mind that, until the Tea Party thugs showed up, that Rep. McNerney was out in the public talking to people. More than I can say for Pombo.

Hey, wasn't Pombo the guy to run recently outside his district and came in THIRD?
