You're right in suggesting that I didn't do the reseach myself. I quoted other sources. But I quoted them because I believe they are correct (the truth does matter to me) not because they simply say what I like.Greg_Crueyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03015142517840853629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6673989999859174066.post-85717473037902644352010-03-23T12:10:59.596-07:002010-03-23T12:10:59.596-07:00Greg Cruey is playing the typical liberal game of ...Greg Cruey is playing the typical liberal game of distorting the facts to mislead the voters. No wonder he supports Rick Boucher - a man who professes he's "one of us" then constantly votes with Nancy Pelosi and the San Francisco wing of the Democratic Party. The truth is, Salem is tiny jurisdiction that happens to have a VA Hospital, a transportation HQ and 2 colleges. If Mr. Cruey had actually looked at the money he's referencing, he'd see that none of it was for "stimulus funded ribbon cutting ceremonies." Of course, the truth doesn't matter to people like Mr. Cruey.<br /><br />As for his charge that Republicans are manipulating the borders to bring Morgan in, this is just ignorant. It is well known that the 9th District will have to expand by 70,000+ voters. Under any model, this will put Salem in the 9th. The more important question, which Mr. Cruey ignores, is why does the 9th District need so many new voters? Why, after 28 years of Rick Boucher's reign, has the population of the 9th dropped precipitously, jobs left at an alarming rate and our way of life placed under attack. Maybe if Boucher spent more time dealing with our problems, rather than cow towing to Nancy Pelosi or showing up for every photo op and taking credit, we wouldn't be in the predicament we are.<br /><br />Thank God someone of Morgan Griffith's caliber is willing to stand up for us and remove Nancy Pelosi's favorite son from office.DHFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01087463325342764954noreply@blogger.com
