Then MS says he stands up for Indiana values, and understands what the people want. Well, he doesn't understand MY values. He doesn't understand the many low, or no income people who seem to be forgotten from President Bush down. I'd like to see how many people who live in the projects and the inner city areas, that MS was speaking of, actually got any benefit from Bush's "tax cut". I would venture to say..none of them. I would also bet that if MS still was still living in the projects or other areas, if he would be so willing to support a "tax relief" plan that only benefits those that are already wealthy. I'd venture to say...NO! MS also boasts that Baron Hill voted 6 times against the tax cuts. I say good for him if he did! Why should the wealthy get the tax cuts? MS recites how he voted on different issues. I would challenge anyone to look at his voting record and find ANY vote that was not along Republican party lines. If he did go against Bush, he'd not be getting free visits at Sellersburg, and $500 a plate fundraising dinners. He hadn't been in office 3 months and he already had one of these at Kye's in Jeffersonville. Every day in the mail I receive anywhere from 1 to 3 MS ads. I considered cutting them up in little pieces, putting some limburger cheese in the envelope, and mailing it back to the Indiana Republican State Committee. <BR/><BR/>(Sorry for rambling Roger)John Altonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683691827877996265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097125.post-1162429531972385092006-11-01T20:05:00.000-05:002006-11-01T20:05:00.000-05:00At least 50,000 are dead due to U.S. interventionT...At least 50,000 are dead due to U.S. intervention<BR/><BR/>The right to a fair trial in this country is now based on the decision making of a small group government employees rather than the Constitution<BR/><BR/>The number of people on the federal government's payroll has increased by over 2 million since 2002<BR/><BR/>The federal deficit is setting records<BR/><BR/>The federal government now has more control over our local schools than ever before in the history of the country<BR/><BR/>I'm supposed to believe that Sodrel supports all the above because he learned that "big government" is bad for us?

His family had that business and US Mail contract that MS just happened to expand. To say he is a self made man would be like saying that Candice Bergman made it in Hollywood all by herslf with out the help of her father and Charlie McCarthy.<BR/><BR/>Misinformation....edward parishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12290149866735110512noreply@blogger.com
