Mark Souder is 100% correct

The article says "partisan hype," but either way, (4.00 / 1)

it's still just a fill-in phrase to go along with "deviating from the pillars of conservatism."  It's stately, and he couldn't very well say it's the party identified with corruption and greed because of all the lying, cheating & stealing.  He calls it hype, I call it public record.  Notice how anti-abortion and anti-gay actions are the way to show strong moral values.  Rather than, say, honesty and accountability.

I worry anytime that I agree with Souder that I may have started into dementia or that I am WRONG on that issue.

If anyone wants to lend me a cool half-million, I'll have a go.

(If I get a Hummer out of the deal, I'll even make a few trips to the district.)

(I always thought that was a bizarre choice for him -- do they have a manufacturing presence in northeastern Indiana?)

That had crossed my mind, Vox... (0.00 / 0)

...but I did settle on the more mundane idea that Thomas was referring to the gas guzzling automobile.  ;)

Hummers are built by AM General in Mishiwaka, IN. (Donnelly's district - but close to Goshen)  You could run, but you better study up first.
