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.

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.

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.

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.

I asked them how many times I could vote. They said they did not care. Each vote cost a dollar. So, I voted for myself 40 times. When they published their poll results, somehow, their pollster reported I only had 17 votes. So when it comes to these polls, they really do not mean much of anything. Including this one.

So please try to do a small edit in correcting how my name is spelled. I have been able to spell correctly now for 57 years.

Signed yours truly,

Thomas E. Scherer. See, it not that hard to spell it. lol.

Let’s face it there isn’t enough Republicans or Democrats to win an election. It’s the swing voters that chose your next Congressman or woman, Senator, or President.

I’m looking for a true conservative with a little bit of intellegence about the world. We have had 1 Commander in Chief that cut the military money to help the domestic economy. You had another that went to war with only half a military because the first one made the cuts. Now you have someone wet behind the ears, that allowed troops stay in Ahganistan without help. Then he decides he needs to get them there quick. I have 1 question WHAT TOOK SO LONG.

I’ve seen American congress and senate spend money like drunken sailors. Bush didn’t have much of a chance. We send unarmored Humvee’s. I have another question. IF WE HAD OF SPENT THE MONEY ON THE HUMVEES TO START WITH WOULD IT HAVE COST MORE THEN. NO COMPANIES WHEN YOU REALLY NEED THEM SELL YOU THE BILL OF GOODS FOR A HIGHER COST, AND WHAT ABOUT THE LIVES IT COST?

You really might what to think about who runs against the Democrat because you can’t win without a TRUE CONSERVATIVE.

Average Citizens have sat aside too long. Perhaps it’s partly due to the increased cost of raising a family or even just taking care of yourself these days. Everywhere you look, it seems, life is flying by at an alarming pace. Then you have to decide: do I buy out the time to work on that paper for college, watch C-Span to see what slick tricks Congress is up to, or sit with the kids while they do their own homework.

It could also be due to the fact every time we see elections or members of Congress, it’s more of the same and people lose interest quickly with that.

No matter what the past causes of our own personal lack of understanding or caring about the issues, now is the time for people to stand as one and say NO MORE to this government run crap! Our country didn’t start out this way; in fact there was so much more power the States had up until the Great Depression era. Slowly, more and more power has been taken by the Central Government without much dissent.

Today, the Federal Government gives out money to states and then acts as a loan shark, holding it over their heads to get what the Feds want. Common Sense had gone out the window a long, long time ago in the Federal Government. We need people across the country to wake up and send common sense people to Washington…be that my candidate or yours or another….which will eventually be decided on at the polls in August and November of 2010.

Working in Washington USED to be a temporary position. People would be elected, go off to Washington, work FOR the people of their district or state then RETURN home to the life they had. Now, getting into Congress almost always ensures an appointment akin to a Federal Judge – LIFETIME. Over 90%+ members of Congress have been and will continue to be re-elected; unless WE THE PEOPLE rise up and demand they actually do the job we sent them to do.

(I get worked up too MaryAnnH LOL)

Thank you again for stating your opinion in a common sense way. I hope others on this forum will take this example and follow with a sound debate.

However, in recent years I have come to realize that sitting on the bench because “what can one person do?” is very much akin to “if I fail to plan, I plan to fail”. I am tired of failing.

Constitutional Liberterian is as close as I can come to being on the political spectrum. Once any two people come in close proximity, they will work out some method(s) of managing that contact. That is the definition of politics.

What the Founding Fathers created in America was nothing new in concept. They simply had all the right ingredients to make the experiment work: a population of individuals strong in the gut-level knowledge that no one could provide for them as well as they could provide for themselves. The experiment has worked for us together, only to the degree that it has worked for each of us individually.

I see the American Experiment being contaminated by incorrect ingredients: people who desire to rule, to wield the power of government for their own ends. And I see the waning days of the Republic. I think this must be what it was like in Rome of the 4th and 5th centuries: a shell of the old, prosperous order, but hollowed out by greedy, corrupt, power-hungry politicians to the point that it all collapsed in on itself.

We recently watched the perpetrator of “the largest Ponzi scheme” of our time as he was taken off to a just punishment. But, folks, stand back and look!!!

The U. S. government has become one HUGE Ponzi scheme. There is nothing solvent about it. With the power of government and color of law, politicians have gone where no Ponzi operator could ever dream to go: not into the pockets of new ’suckers’, but into the pockets of free individuals not yet born. They have hollowed out the shell of American personal freedom, and have thrown shackles on us and generations to come.

When will it stop? Short answer: it won’t. Long answer: I am part of the problem unless, and until, I become part of the solution.

And so I have decided that in this election cycle, I will try to pull the party nearest my own beliefs back toward the concepts of “maximum personal freedom”. This is the only way I can win back my America.

I am not a Republican. But I believe Republicans may be the source of good, pure, correct ingredients which can return the American Experiment to what is was and what it should be: Free people prospering in self-fulfillment, in economic success, and in personal expression.

Please excuse my crass replies and try to see my heart instead. My heart burns for the soul of this nation, my country. I see it slipping down the tubes and I feel powerless. Not one stinkin’, blinkin’ politician in DC will listen to We the People. Not one! I wish it were a treasonous crime to ignore your constituents.

It is time for the body politic to wean themselves from the tits of the federal pig and admit their complicity in creating the problem. Cities hire lobbyists to campaign for this money or that project, welfare recipients think that this entitlement is now a right (I’ve asked God, he said it wasn’t). Everyone thinks that everyone else’s pork barrel projects should be cut, but not their own little pet projects–like Pat Roberts’ Bio Science lab at K-State. Was DHS going to build such a lab anyway? Was it in the budget? Were proposals taken from any other facilities? How much of the K-State farm did we give away in order to land this cherry tree?

As disturbing as the politicians lack of response and decorum in the town halls were, the questions from John Q. Public were worse. I want thus and so, we need this and that for our city park, ad infinitum, ad nauseum. It is time for this nonsense to STOP. It is time for the cadillac pension plan of full salary for the rest of your life to STOP. It is time for our out of control Congress to STOP. Stop with the nonsense and the idiocy. Where has all the common sense gone? Do they check it at the city limit or at the door of the Capitol Building?

It is time for common sense for Kansas–and yes I think Dan Gilyeat is just the man to take common sense into Washington DC and spread it around! (Maybe even Marine style, ha ha.) Go get ‘em Dan!
