		<description>byte = blah blah blah

With your gutless anonymous amorphous accusations, you are a much bigger part of the problem than I am.

When I saw Mark Taylor or Cathy Cox do something I didn&#039;t agree with, I put my name on it and filed an ethics complaint.  Eventually I was told that because they were no longer in office, my complaint was dropped.  I wasn&#039;t told that the accusations I made were properly investigated or that they were innocent, just that they were now irrelevant.

The difference between us, is when I see something going on that I am convinced is wrong, (I had proof) I will stand up state my name and charge them with a complaint.

You are too scared to even name a name or your own name, let alone to provide any proof.  Coward.</description>

		<description>So now you need to add all those qualifications to when you&#039;re going to speak out?  Gotta be in the ninth, gotta be illegal, blah blah blah.

My statements about your role in this are accurate.</description>

		<description>You are probably well aware of how much damage your random non-specific accusations do.  If you want us to consider you a good person, how about you start naming names?  Otherwise, you are covering up for these people just as much as you claim I do.</description>

		<description>Byte,

Name a legislator who resides in the Ninth Congressional District that you don&#039;t think does a good job.  Bear in mind they were all elected before I became Chairman, but I want to see exactly who you are complaining about that I might have any semblance of influence over.  If you think I am not doing something right, please specify who in the Ninth that I am covering up for.

After you name names, explain why they have made your list, and what exactly you would like me to do about it.   Do you really think that if I called them up and asked them to resign because some Dem doesn&#039;t like them, that they would or should?

If you have proof that you are willing to provide that they have done something illegal, please post it, or send it to me privately.  If it&#039;s something I should address, I will.  As it is, I only know of one rumor that I don’t have any proof about of one current legislator in the Ninth.  I don’t expect that person to qualify for office next year, but as I said, I have no proof that he has done anything wrong.

As it is, you are complainer with no proof of anything.  It&#039;s your job as a &quot;human&quot; to either pony up proof that someone has done something wrong or respect the sacrifices that these office holders have made.  Your baseless, anonymous, amorphous, non-specific accusations fall right in line with a non-celebration of Christmas.  Grinch.</description>

		<description>Your job as a &quot;human&quot; is to do what&#039;s right.  You think your job is to protect Republicans instead of doing what&#039;s right and ending up with a better Republican Party filled with people who do the right thing.  

As it stands, you are a pimp for a bunch of whores and you can&#039;t even see how much harm you are doing to your neighbors by your inability to respond in the best interest of your fellow man.</description>

		<description>Byte,

You have so much class calling people pimps and whores.  I don&#039;t comment on rumors, because as far as I know, you started them.  If it&#039;s proven that someone did something wrong, I don&#039;t apologize for them and I disagree with what they did.

My job as a GOP Chairman is not to kick Republicans out of office.  My job is to elect Republicans.  I understand that this concept may make your skin crawl.  If there are two Republicans running for the same office, my job doesn&#039;t let me public ally endorse one over the other.  That doesn&#039;t mean I don&#039;t have personal favorites and there is nothing I can do.  If I decide to involve myself in a race, you will never know about it.  I want new people running in the GOP primary to feel like they are welcome and the good old boy system didn&#039;t kick them out or favor someone we have known for years.  I realize this may make your skin crawl as well.

It seems as if all you do is slither about, hissing, rumor mongering, and speaking ill of others.  I guess if your skin is crawling, would that make you a snake?</description>

		<description>I look forward to seeing what Cole is going to put together. If there is a pledge for Republican members and candidates to sign, I will. If not, I will put out my ethics pledge at the first of the year.</description>

		<description>As long as the system remains intact, the opportunity for shenanigans remains. No matter the pledge, or the ethical character of the man (woman), the pressures of a lobbyist for some good people have proven to be insurmountable.  Only when we remove the ability for pay to play to succeed can we truly have reform!</description>

		<description>Tom Coburn honored it and when he came back to run for Senate, the party establishment and the Bushites tried to move heaven and earth to defeat him, for he was a man of integrity unabashedly in opposition to their corrupt agenda.</description>

		<description>And FYI, I believe that if someone signed a term limits pledge (or a no tax increase pledge or any other pledge) and failed to keep it, then they are a liar and should resign or be forced out by people who have consciences.</description>

		<description>Indy,

My point is that the ten items were voted on and the Contract with America was kept. I won&#039;t let someone falsely state or imply it was not.

AS you probably know, Term Limits was the one of the ten that did not pass the US House.

As for those who promised to abide by term limits and are still in the US House, I have no idea. I&#039;m not even sure how it could be quickly researched.</description>

		<description>Rick Day,

The Contract with America promised an up or down vote on 10 issues. Those votes were held. The US House passed 9 of the 10. 

The TRUTH - It&#039;s available if you look for it.</description>

		<description>My party has ideas about portability, buying insurance across state lines, and tort reform that your party won&#039;t allow debate on.  I also ask you to show me where in the constitution that government should provide insurance, or in the declaration (technically a document that enacts no laws) that citizens are endowed by their creator with rights to health care coverage?  Is it the role of government to provide, mandate, or oversee health care or insurance?

It doesn&#039;t mean we have no ideas, it&#039;s just that we have different ones.

We disagree.  The world looks more normal.</description>
