Can Someone Tell Me About Hostettler (8th district) or Pence (6th)?

[orleans]

they are on the judiciary committee & i'm gonna send them a letter. anything about them that might help (either he hates animals or is actually pretty good about environmental issues...something...??)

1. Hostettler is...

... insane. No more needs be said.

[orleans]

2. come on! if you have specifics can you please share?

i could tell you a little about hyde in illinois--but i'm sure you've already heard about his little affair, breaking up the marriage, and the irony that he went after clinton.

details punpirate, please???

3. Waste of time...

... trust me. He's crazy as a bedbug. Caught trying to carry a 9mm Glock onto a plane last year. Says his Congressional office is his "ministry." Thinks the president has the authority to overturn any court ruling he doesn't like. Google his name. You'll see....

6. Don't forget his need to campaign in public fully armed,

at least with a hand gun. He's pretty defficient as fire as brain power goes.

8. Don't forget he told the Breast Cancer survivors...

"guess you should've thought twice about killing your babies, huh?"

"What'd I say??? Haven't you seen the study that PROVES abortions cause breast cancer? GAWD's will!"

Crazier than a Shithouse Rat.

If you really want to get his attention, write your note on the back of a $100 bill....

4. Back in June..

Hostettler made the comment:

"like moths to a flame, Democrats can't help themselves when it comes to denigrating and demonizing Christians."


A total out-of-touch idiot. That would explain why he voted no to hurricane relief.

5. Oh yea something else...

“Congress in the last week has appropriated more than $60 million, rightly in my view, to tend to the wounded, to begin to rebuild 90,000 square miles but we have not yet begun to make the hard choices of how we will pay for it,” said Rep. Mike Pence, who believes budget cuts must be made to counter the hurricane relief.

If you decide to write Mike Pence you might remind that an excellent way to "pay for it" would be to forget about repealing the estate tax

Pence and Hostettler what a couple of jackasses

7. This thread already includes all you need to know. But here's some more.

He once advocated using Nuc's on the middle east and russia to a crowd of high school students in E-ville who had come to hear about how our government is run. In the 90's I guess he was foreshadowing what has come today.

He voted against the relief effort.

He could care less about anything but abortion. It's the only thing he runs on because he doesn't have much of a record otherwise. He's a member of the do nothing wing.

Finally, he's more or less a racist scumbag, but his white constituents wouldn't see it this way. But of course they don't know enough poeple of color to actually judge for themselves. It's most likely his only motivation for voting against the releif effort (cloaked in the "no handouts for welfare mothers" garb that the new Klan likes to dress up in these days.)

You'd probably waste your time writing this guy in particular. You might send a prayer (or thoughts, if you would rather) to those trying to get him out of office. They've gotten no help from the DNC and despite the BS about focusing on redstates on a grass roots lebel that help probably will not arrive again next time around. The good folks in the 8th district have had to make it the bloody 8th all on their own with out party support.

9. Pence just visited some of our Nat'l Guard in Iraq

He will be updating my Family Readiness Group on Saturday.

I really don't know much more about him (I hate admitting that, but hey, I'm basically a single mom right now!)
