I had the dickens of a time getting these files to upload which is why this hasn’t gone up earlier. But I attended the candidates forum in Norcross, where among many others the republicans running for the ga-7 nomination appeared. I had enough space on my cards for the opening statements and the first two questions.

Latest Examiner Article: A Tea Party Candidate before Tea Parties were cool. (Marty Lamb)
Posted: May 25, 2010 by datechguy in elections, examiner columns, opinion/newsTags: 2010 elections, examiner, ma-3, marty lamb, politics, republican primaries, tea parties
My latest examiner article is about Congressional Candidate Marty Lamb running in the 3rd Massachusetts district. A Tea Party Candidate before Tea Parties were cool a snipit:
Lamb not only attended the April 14th Tax day tea party & CPAC but he attended Last year’s April 15th tea party and made the first announcement of his candidacy there at Boston Harbor.
This was during the early days of the tea party, the media was still trying to define them as a group of fringe people and the idea of unseating a Massachusetts democrat in congress was as far fetched as the idea of a republican taking over the senate seat held by Ted Kennedy.
As always you can find my other Examiner Articles here.
I know you were probably expecting another Georgia post, but I have files still uploading and laundry that has to do so I’ve been kinda slow this morning.
Oh and to the best of my knowledge the media STILL has not reported on this relative of Holocaust survivors being called a Nazi in Worcester. If I’m wrong feel free to correct me.
Lets not go overboard with the “Traitor” stuff

I dislike the financial bill as much as the next guy. I don’t trust this administration at all and the attitude of trying to stifle business’ that actually provide jobs in idiotic, but listen when a senator makes a vote against you it doesn’t make him a “traitor”.
At normal times you will not get 100% on any particular issue from any person.. I’m certainly not going to throw Scott Brown out the window over one issue or even two.. The next election in Massachusetts is in 2012. If you want Martha Coakley in 2012 or a liberal just like her who will be soft on the war on terror, soft on immigration and not vote for the repeal of Obamacare in 2013 (Which is the absolute earliest time possible to repeal it) say so now but I don’t want to hear anyone complaining if the repeal effort fails by a single vote.
Eyes on the prize people, eyes on the prize.
Does the White House have a cunning plan?

Taking another look at Gibbs’ feigned outrage I wonder if the White House plan is to feign outrage in order to make it a moral imperative of “fairness” to rush Kagan through to keep her from improper personal questions.
I certainly don’t care who she is sleeping with but I sure would like to know her Abortion position (as if I didn’t know).
