    Idont live in thevdistric but looking at his record Bobby Bright has been a true conservative and would be hard to beat at this point

  • DCwatcher

    Bright is keeping it pretty conservative in DC, but he has went with the Dems a few times, most recently voting in the Defense Supplemental to send money to bailout the International Monetary Fund (IMF) instead of sending it to our troops.

    And while he may be voting with the district in many cases, he sure doesn’t want to hire anyone from there to work in his DC office. Most people in his office are from out-of-state and have been with the Democratic establishment for a while. Can we trust someone who doesn’t want to hire people from within his district, much less his state, to work in his DC office?

    We need more God fearing Americans in DC. Especially in the 2nd District

  • #1 Bright Supporter

    Bobby is a good God fearing Baptist, Dale. No snake has ever bitten him.

  • Bama Dale in comment 53, aka #1 Bright Supporter in 54,

    I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I do not care for commenters to leave multiple comments under different names to make it appear as if more than one person is leaving them.

    I ask that you choose a name and stick with it.

    There is a comment policy here on the About page. Longer remarks about comments may be found here.

    Thank you.

  • Alot of talking around the issues here, but what are her principles and values? Is she willing to stand up and fight? Who and what is she beholden to?

    If she wants to be a leader, where is she at right now?

Change

I wish my friend Hinton Mitchem godspeed and good luck after his retirement from public service. Hinton, on Monday, announced what many had suspected — he will not seek re-election.

Under the “B” … June 1 

                 I’ve tried to follow BINGO rules and BINGO raids.  I’m not sure I understand the law, nor do I get the motives of many of the principal players.  I bet many of you know a heck of a lot more about this than I.  But one thing I am [...]
