A challenge for Boozman
Fayetteville Mayor Dan Coody for Congress against Dog the Bounty Hunter's main man, Rep. John Boozman? Is The Iconoclast merely daydreaming, or is he onto something?

The Boozman noose party is 3 years away! Let Dan Coody serve his country by running against Mark Pryor NOW! We may not even been here in 2010 at the rate we're going. Anyone talented at stringing out Pryor's voting record like dirty laundry on the line should be able to knock Pryor out in the primary.
Remember Pryor has the Cheney-Bush mark of the beast on his behind and we have a whole year of Cheney-Bush FK'ups and criminality to go before we do our voting. Don't screw with Boozman...get after the main Bush-bot in our state. Help save America, Dan! Aim higher cause it's not a sparrow shitting on us, it's that Pryor feller. Coody for Senate '08!

A Democrat candidate doesn't stand a chance in NWA. You idiots need to give it up and try somewhere else.
Maybe you should start worrying about your liberal that represents Little Rock. With our new leadership in Pulaski County, you should hear the clock ticking by now. He has a plan and a team to make it happen.

It's bad enough the AR D party won't hold any standard above "at least we aren't republican in name" with dismal failures such as Pryor and Ross.. but refusing to support and fight fierce battles in NWA against the likes of Boozeman..is another big tell, imo.
Boozeman is quite simply a Hate Congressman.. Nothing he does benefits his constituents who are not extremely wealthy or extremely religious.. I have never heard an original thought from this man.. He must receive a daily fax from GOP leadership with specific instructions and simply follows such instructions. How he could legalize torture conducted in our names and support Bush's denial of health care for children should be all one needs to know in order to flip the fundie vote in NWA.

Eureka,
Congressman Boozeman votes to protect America from terror, fights against illegal immigrants who undermine American values, and consistently champions the values of his constituents. Arkansas deserves more congressmen like him.

Congressman Jim Trimble (D) served many years before Hammerschimdt R) won an election. Boozer is just number 2 Rethuglican to hold the seat. Politics change. We were hoping for Don Nelms (retired Chevy dealer on Beebe's board) or the previous news anchor Don Elkins (National Guard) who recently moved to another assignment. Either one could put Boozeman back to prescribing eyeglasses full time.
Dan Coody will run a powerful race if he chooses to do it. Don't expect much liberalism from him.

Ok Red, I'll bite just once.. I am a NWA citizen who is not afraid of foreign terrorists who for the most part only increase in possiblity due to the insane policy of Bushco and Boozeman.. who only maintain their positions because people like you are afraid of a boogey men without a boat who live half way around the world.
Where else in AR is there a larger population of illegal immigrants than NWA? Your own favored congresscritter has had a chance and failed at your concerns here. Champion? By your own standards, I think not.

Boozeman votes to protect America from terror by supporting pro-terrorist polices? Boozeman fights against illegal immigrants by supporting illegal immigrant employers? Boozeman champions the values of his constituents by supporting partisan politics over them?

OK, Born Red I'll bite this time. Just how exactly do illegal immigrants "undermine American values?"
and just what exactly, in your mind, are "American values?

Chuck,
Here are a few ways that Illegals undermine America
Lets start with the very fact that illegal immigrants have to disrespect our laws to be here in the first place Then they continue to use our resources without contributing to the system. They take american jobs. Their neighborhoods become a haven for criminals. They refuse to learn english. They are crippling the emergency rooms across america and are bringing resistant diseases like tuberculosis into the United States.
Our generation will make sure that Republicans are able to lead America back to the values that made us strong. We are a christian nation and we will make sure conservative politicians are elected that respect that fact and make sure laws protect families in America.

What turnip truck did you fall off? The only way they can avoid withholding taxes is IF the employer is cheating. What's more the illegalies don't file for a refund which they are usually due. Likewise their contributions to state unemployment and social security will never be redeemed. They are simply fearful of being caught if they do so. In case you haven't noticed local facilities are paid for with sales taxes which illegalies pay just as regular as you or me. Property taxes on the their rental homes are paid by the landlord. Guess who the landlord collects it from?
Springdale and FT. Bapatist have both hosted ethnic enclaves for decades. Long ago the Eyetalyans came to Chickenopolis, didn't speak the language, didn't register with authorities and now are a regular part of the community. Likewise with Asiatics, Marshallese and now the Hmong enclaves who regularly own poultry houses.
My partner was ER inpatient mgr for a couple of years in Chickenopolis. She knew who paid their bills and who didn't. It was usually po whites from out of town. Mexicans showed up with large wads of cash, like long green, so given a hospital often operates near the red they were not disappointed to see a Mexican with a problem cause they got paid on the spot didn't need to spend another two hours submitting a bill to an insurance company who always challenges the bill. Cash plain and simple. Cash talks and bullshit walks.
So inbRED find another target for your racism. If YOUR ruling class didn't want them here the problem would be solved overnight. You can't blame greedy capitalists for behaving like greedy capitalists. After all they call the shots for the preachers in Dallas, the politicians and 95% of the media.

"We are a christian nation ... " - B Red
You just can't keep saying that, B Red, because it isn't even remotely true. It is a tall tale told by an idiot, signifying nothing. It was not true on the part of the founders, and it's certainly not true in this day and age. You sound like those Russian conservatives who're parading around just now chanting "Death to Jews" and "We will make Europe white again".
I know you don't want to, but you might do well to give a look at "American Creation", historian Joseph Ellis' new book about those founders you so fondly assume to have been Christians.
You can hear his NPR interview and call-in (yeah, I know that would kill you, too) at my name.

widj,
I'm sure you also think English shouldn't be required in the United States.
I'm sure that the majority of Americans would be surprised to learn they aren't Christians.
I'm sure that Muslims aren't responsible for attacks on American
If we had your way, the traditional family values in American would have long ago fallen apart. We never would be able to pray in schools. It is the lack of values encouraged by liberal excess that has led to the decline of America.
You also probably believe in ending funding for out troops and that we should be soft on terrorists.
Go ahead and continue to delude yourself. In the meantime, conservative values will continue to win in America and we turn out liberals like Snyder.

I have to wonder has someone devised a new formula for the Kool-Aid people like Born Red drink? Sure seems like a powerful new receipe to me. He/she/it kinda makes Chasv sound like a moderate, huh?
Oh, and by the way Born Red, my name is NOT Chuck. DO NOT refer to me using that name, OK.

Chuck,
As soon as you join our movement I'll let you decide what I call you. I respect wisdom not age or liberal agendas. Our leadership is now and place and I invite you to join us as we reshape politics in Arkansas. You can either get on the train or not. Either way it is leaving the station.

How about a story of how republicans in other states are stopping illegal immigrants. Click on my name to a story of how Republicans in Oklahoma enacted legislation to finally make a difference. All of you bleeding heart liberals can cry all you want to but a majority of the voters will be on our side for this one.

Jesus! It's chasv with a high school diploma! Born Red, I can see Oklahoma from my bedroom window, I know Oklahoma, it isn't a place you hold up as a good example of anything. Quit scraping the bottom of the pot if you want us to break bread with you.
You're facts are incorrect, in fact, you're totally wrong. I live in a sea of Mexicans. They work hard, they put their families first, and get this Christer...they get up on Sunday and go to church. They work hard for low pay doing jobs no American wants to do. They pay taxes and buy lots of groceries just like everyone else. I have lived with them for at least 10 years and not once have they stolen anything from my property. Not once have they looked at my good looking wife and fine daughters with evil in their eyes. Not once have I ever had to call the police on any of them. Their music sucks....and that is the only bad thing I can stay about them.
You may think your Republican Hater Party has a future, but I say you're living in a dream world. Your corrupt leaders have doomed the Republican Party and they'll be lucky to avoid prison. That your hero is John Boozman is mighty sad. Perhaps you have had a brain injury from Mama's cord around your neck at birth. Please use the Google for your facts and talk about God as little as possible unless you want everyone to start hating him. Your type does no group any good. And does your father know you're on his computer????

Born Red........what a hoot you are.
I was told a long time ago to "never engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man." So I suppose the best advice I can give myself is to let you carry on without any comment from me, you can go ahead and wallow in your delusions and ignorance. It's OK with me.
I will not be on your train as it leaves the station, I will be waving goodbye as it chugs into oblivion.

To be clear, I am a fan of Rebekah Kennedy....I'm just trying to get every non-convict adult to toss their hats into the ring and run against Mark Pryor. There is safety in numbers!
