I think what you’re going by is what Cornyn said. I submit that Cornyn was going to say what he said no matter which Democrat came out of that Primary. My point is, he doesn’t even know what Lisa believes. He’s never met her, never talked to her and probably didn’t think that, since she’s not a “politician”, she’d even make it out of the Primary, so you shouldn’t be listening to him. What I’m saying about her, I know for an absolute fact, because I’ve known her for 21 years and we’ve had more conversations than I can count on these topics.

So to you, yeah…I’ll give you that it’s a “story”, because it’s second hand. My compliments on not just believing someone based on what they’ve said about another person. But the question is, who are you going to believe? I think it’s been proven over and over again that you can’t trust a “career politician”, no matter which party they’re in.

Now…let me share with you exactly what she’s said in black and white:

“It is important for every woman or family to be able to make a decision based on individual circumstances in consultation with a doctor. Most people agree that in cases of extreme trauma, abuse, or life threatening health considerations the option for medical intervention is important. Additionally, individuals can be personally pro-life but support choice because they do not feel it is their place to make this decision for another person.”

To me…that sounds like individual Liberty. I doubt you’d get a statement like that from someone like Pelosi or Reid. Basically what she’s said is, the government should keep their tentacles out of it, whichever side they’re on personally. The fact is, the vast majority of women who have had an abortion, regret having made that decision, as well they should. There are consequences for those actions. But it’s an individual decision that the government should have no say in, one way or the other. That’s between the woman and God (who I’m sure isn’t happy about it).

And below is another statement that speaks to what I said in my first comment:

“We need more transparency in government to allow everyday citizens to become informed about potential legislation so that they can evaluate potential changes and provide feedback. I believe it is important to make plain language, factual summaries of all bills available for citizens to read and consider. True representation can only occur if citizens have access to information and can share their opinions with elected officials.”

What makes her different from any of the other people running in that race is that she actually means what she says. I can honestly say that because that’s what she has told me personally on many occasions.

And lastly…on my views. I think I probably am leaning more toward the Libertarian views these days. Their slogan is “Maximum Freedom, Minimum Government”. I think they probably fall a little closer to anarchy than I’d like to go, but I agree with the slogan. And I wish the Republican Party would slide closer to that view than they are. What people don’t understand is that there are “Progressives” controlling the Republican Party just like they’re controlling the Democrat Party. Remember Megan McCain, John McCain’s daughter? She has referred to herself as a “Progressive Republican”. And, that, I believe because they’re words right from her own mouth.

What I’ve told Lisa she needs to call herself is an “early 20th Century Liberal”. I’m borrowing from what Hillary Clinton said about herself…saying she’s an “early 20th Century Progressive”. In the early 20th Century, a Liberal was a Libertarian. Then, the Progressives hijacked the label, because people finally wised up to what they were trying to do and started kicking them out. I won’t go into the entire history, because I’m sure you (like I do) watch Beck and know the history.

So…to summarize, what I would like you, and everyone else, to do, is do your own research before you start jumping to conclusions. Don’t believe the statements of any career politician without getting the facts for yourself. It’s been proven over and over again that those people, no matter which party they’re in, are in it only for themselves and will do or say anything that they believe will keep them in power. If you’re concerned about Lisa’s views on something, call or email her. The contact information is on her website (lisaforkansas.com). I think you, along with most people, will be surprised when you learn more and get the “facts” straight from the “horse’s mouth” (so to speak).

Lisa has said, “I may look sweet, but I’m a fighter.” That statement isn’t only directed toward a political opponent. It’s also directed toward the Pelosi’s and Reid’s in the government.

And what I stated is NOT an “opinion”. It’s an actual fact, based on lots and lots of conversations. Have you had that conversation with her? Ummm…no, you haven’t. So don’t tell me you know how or what a person thinks when you haven’t even talked with him or her. Only a fool believes everything he hears or reads third, fourth or seventieth person. Get out of your basement, put down the Red Bull, get a job and do something productive with your life.

About your “pro-aborts” comment. Where exactly did you come up with that one? Public record? Where? If what you’re saying is a “fact”, then you’ll have evidence to back it up, right? So why don’t you show us? What? No link? Nothing in her actual words? Nothing to show us? Hmmm…something smells a little fishy here. Sounds a little like Emanuel Cleaver’s accusations about the Tea Partiers. A lot of smoke, but no fire.

I, on the other hand, know exactly what she thinks about that issue. Have you had a personal conversation with her on that? I have. I won’t speak for her (she can do that just fine for herself), but as for me, both the Pro-Lifers and Pro-Abortion people have it wrong. It should be a personal issue, but the government should stay out of it. If you’re a true Christian (and I’m just assuming you consider yourself a Christian), then you know that you’re really in no position to judge. I hate to quote “The Chosen One”, but it’s really above your pay grade. If a woman has an abortion, it’s wrong and she’ll have to face the music later. But what you have to ask yourself is, “What would Jesus do?” I think you know the answer to that. It’s a little thing called Grace and forgiveness.

Now…Mr. Holier Than Thou…what would he have to say about someone like you? Take any comment He made about the Pharisees and insert it here.

A real Conservative believes the Government should stay out of our personal and professional lives. I believe that’s called Liberty. You aren’t a Conservative. You’re a Nazi. You’re what the Republican Party has become and what the Tea Party is fighting against. You’re what we affectionately refer to as a RINO and what we’re trying to purge from our ranks.

And finally…I can give you some pointers on how to set up WordPress, if you’d like. It’s obvious you don’t know how, because you’re still posting as “admin”…the default. It’s sad…just sad.

And don’t call yourself a conservative. Conservatives don’t support pro-aborts like Johnston. Period.

And by the way, love the email address you use. I too have a “Doctor” in front of my name, which I also gained from KU. But I don’t feel the need power trip people with it. That’s the difference between Lisa and me. And it looks like based off of your email address, it’s a difference between you and myself as well.

Let me just give you one example of why she decided to get into the race to begin with. The fact that the Healthcare Bill (now Law) was 2000 pages of nothing but legalize that no one read (or could even understand for that matter). She was appalled by that and thought it was completely ridiculous. So don’t try to tell me or anyone else that she’s just going to be another “Yes” vote for ANY politician. She’s in it for the folks.

Now…my suggestion to you would be to not just get your facts straight, but to get your facts…period…before you start spouting off your “opinion” about someone.

What you’ve stated here is totally based on your conjecture about politicians. I’m here to tell you that Lisa is NOT a politician. Why is “Doctor” in front of her name? It’s to illustrate that point. You call her “elitist”? I contend that it is YOU are behaving like an elitist, putting yourself and your pre-formed opinion above another person.

I’ve got news for you…you’re not always right.

Mr. Goyle;

I have serious questions about your rather hypocritical campaign advertising, most notably the commercial at this link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kv7oCrClE84

How can you keep a straight face, when you attack the “outsourcing of American Jobs” and “tax breaks” for outsourcing jobs, when so many people, who are very close to you, make their living doing EXACTLY that?

Let us begin with Rajiv Shah, the director of USAID or the United States Agency for International Development. Mr. Shah did more than just give “tax breaks” for outsourcing jobs — Mr. Shah actually gave TAX DOLLARS, DIRECTLY, to a firm in Sri Lanka who’s PURPOSE is to OUTSOURCE AMERICAN “I.T.” JOBS!:

http://www.informationweek.com/news/software/integration/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=226500202

Rajiv Shah was appointed to his current position by President Barrack Hussein Obama. You endorsed Obama, in many Hindu and Asian-American newsletters, long before Obama had defeated Hillary Clinton, in the Democrat Primary. You even campaigned, personally, for President Obama, in Texas and other states, during the Primary and General elections.

Mr. Goyle, if you truly object to tax breaks given to domestic companies, for “outsourcing jobs’ — should you not be even more vocal, in your opposition, to American tax dollars being sent DIRECTLY to foreign countries, for the purpose of outsourcing jobs?

Then we come to the White and Case law firm. Mr. Brian Miller, at White and Case, is the former senior legal adviser for USAID:

http://www.whitecase.com/bmiller/

Of course, Monica K. Arora also works at the White and Case law firm:

http://www.whitecase.com/marora/

Monica Arora’s expertise is in the area of INTERNATIONAL investments, and in “carried interest”. “Carried interest” is a kind of tax shelter, which converts ordinary income into capital gains:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carried_interest

It certainly appears that Monica Arora is involved, directly, in raising money from wealthy Americans. She then uses that investment capital to fund FOREIGN industries. Monica Arora designs methods to convert the interest, or ordinary income, from these investments, into tax advantaged capital gains.

Of course, Monica K. Arora is married to Rajeev Goyle:

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/25/style/weddings-celebrations-monica-arora-rajeev-goyle.html

I have presented several issues for you to deal with, of course. If I have made a mistake, in the identities or facts involved, please let me know. I will correct the record, as far as my statements are concerned, immediately, if you can prove that I am in error in any way.

Beyond the fact that Monica K. Arora appears to live in Maryland, and she appears to work in New York, for a Wall Street, hedge fund, law office, (which raises questions about YOUR actual residence) —

I have honest, sincere questions about your hypocrisy, and your obvious conflicts of interest. What will you do when the subject of taxation on international hedge fund investments comes up in Congress? (Should you win the election.)

Let us not forget that Democrat Congresswoman Maxine Waters is currently under investigation, by the House Ethics Committee, for seeking favors for a Bank, on behalf of her husband:

“CNN) — California Rep. Maxine Waters is pressing the House ethics panel to set her trial date before the midterm elections in November. —The 10-term congresswoman is accused of violating House rules by seeking federal assistance for a bank with financial ties to her husband.”

http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/08/06/maxine.waters/index.html

There are several purposes, to this emailed letter.

First, I would like you to correct this letter, if any portion of it is not true. I want specific, line-by-line corrections, with facts and evidence to support your requested changes, to the honest effort that I have made in presenting the facts, as I see them.

Second, I would respectfully ask you to stop running your misleading advertising, concerning the “outsourcing of jobs” and “tax breaks.”

Third, I would further request that you promise the voters, immediately, that you will not use any current or future elective office to directly assist your friends, or your wife, Monica Arora, in their international investment activities.

Fourth, I would ask that you publicly object to the deal just announced by Rajiv Shah, and the USAID, under the direction of the Obama Administration. That deal will outsource American jobs.

Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter.

Let me make a suggestion, as a person speaking ONLY for myself:

Let’s not make the KRA name/ownership an issue, just now. It will only hurt us, now and in the General Election.

I understand the conflict, and it makes me sad.

Please, however, lets keep our eyes on the ball — WINNING IN NOVEMBER WITH CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATES THAT WE NOMINATE, IN AUGUST!

I respect the decision of the OFFICIAL KRA to stay neutral in some Kansas races.

I also recall Right to Life of Kansas and Kansans For Life SPLIT — it was bad for the movement, confusing to the membership, and handed victory after victory to George Tiller and the Left!

“Discretion is the better half of valor” — KRA, you have EVERY right to assert your authority and your ownership. You have posted, on your web pages, a very strong case.

I would suggest that the people you have issues with are, by your own estimation, very small in number. They have neither the volunteers nor the resources to get their message out.

Stating, in press release after press release, and here on your Blog, that the official KRA is NEUTRAL in the Senate Race and that the official KRA has endorsed Pompeo, in the 4th District, is the best you can do, at this time, without harm to the Conservative cause.

Like it or not, the left will use the dirty laundry of any and all “conservatives” to hurt ALL conservatives.

If I knew how to get the other “organization” involved, to see the light and back down, I would do whatever I could to help.

I am sorry, I don’t know how to help.

Things like this are part of the reason I partially “retired” from politics, several years ago.

Again folks, a public fight with this other organization will only draw attention to splits in the movement, and will only help the Left.

I throw my support behind THIS group, where I am posting now, where this controversy is concerned.

Nearly everyone else will do the same, if you play this out with the class, dignity and grace that I know all of you have, inside you.

Goyle’s wife is a high-powered Wall Street Hedge Fund Attorney. The Goyle’s are well known political insiders, in the Washington D.C. area.

Goyle worked for the ACLU, when the ACLU supported Fred Phelps on 1st Amendment grounds.

Then, Goyle carpet-bagged to Wichita and attacked Bonnie Huy, for “not doing enough to stop Fred Phelps!”

Goyle also attacked Huy on the immigration issue, which is absurd, because the ACLU and the Center for American Progress, which Goyle worked for, are BOTH open-borders/Amnesty supporting organizations.

Goyle will try to run as a conservative.

Goyle is a complete fraud!

Well anyway, I got go. Time to go the beach and gather seashells.

Later.

I don’t trust him and look what he did to our nation? What is he going to do? Ruin Kansas now? No thanks, Sam. You have done enough damage. Be honorable and just retire.

tdus

He won’t tell me. But we know, don’t we Steve?

The Kansas GOP is light years ahead of the Kansas Dem Socialists. And will remain that way for an indefinite future. Blame Larry Gates. I do.

tdus

Regardless, I am a party leader reshaping the GOP so at least federally, we are going to sweep all federal elections. And at the state and local level, we are going to do well also. Everyone is tired of fiscal irresponibility. And it time to hold those whom almost caused our country to collaspe to the biggest depression since the Great Depression, there is the imminent need for a “new generation of leaders”. As stated by Moore. Finally, he said something I agree with. Further, isn’t Nick Jordan the same generation as Moore. We need to get rid of him also.

Election a new generation of leaders in 2010. Try Scherer. He is better.

I am doing real stuff to earn votes. What are these other congressional candidates doing today, right now to earn your vote? Me, I continue to challenge the new Court of Tax Appeals including the method of assessing real estate taxes using the comparables nonsense scheme employed in all 105 counties in Kansas. Scheduled for a four hour jury trial on April 30, 2010. That is just one of the things I am doing. I assure you there are many things I am doing concurrently to earn your vote.

How about these other yahoos? If they are still supporting the Fair Tax, don’t vote for them. For clearly, they have not read it, or fail to understand what this will do to every Kansan that has children or students from k-12 and at state colleges here in Kansas. The Fair Tax is not a fair tax.

tdus

I do like the Lightner has some “real world” experience in her: family, job outside of politics, etc… but she doesn’t have the political savvy or broad reach/vision to go very far. John Rysavy is a semi-unknown candidate that has some real potential. Good public speaker, good practical experience, and the people that know him have a lot of good things to say about him. Kevin Yoder? Great politician. Maybe the most electable candidate there, and certainly has some money and support behind him. A bit young, but, there have certainly been younger candidates before him that have done quite well. (“Well” being in political terms.) Lyndon Johnson was 28 in his first term as a Congressman, and we’ve seen that sometimes is the drive and ambition that counts.

Now, lets see how quickly they beat each other up and spend all their money in the primaries.
