Comments on Advance Indiana™: Burton & Pence Vote For Pay Raise

Luidharts, you're certainly entitled to your views. And I'm glad you're opening up your minds by reading a predominantly gay-focused blog. If only your hero Danny felt the same about open-mindedness.

I have a personal theory about open minds: the mind is easier to be open when the mind is truly occupied.

But you choose to support a man whose moral compass is amiss. To say the least.

He's made a complete joke of himself and the state on the floor of Congress more than once. He is entitled ot his far-right views, and I'll support his right to hold them.

But backyard watermelon shooting, if you're trying to prove a point, should not be dragged into the Congressional record. It reminds me of my grandma's saying:

"Better have people think you a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt."

And his pay raise flip-flop, disingenuous as it is, cnanot be assuaged by your attempts to camaflouge it. The sicko has accepted multiple pay raises, and his 67% Republican district turns its head every time he does it. Coupled with his globetrotting golf and votes missed, he has been and will continue to be a complete moron.

If you take an anonymous poll of House members and staffers, of the biggest goofs in the House, Burton will show up in the top five every time.

And he just married his late wife's doctor.

I know....I'm badgering the witness...

He needs to retire while he has a shred of dignity left.

The last story AI did on Danny Burton elicited about 5 immediate comments all testifying Burton was the bravest, warmest, gentlest, most wonderful human being they'd ever met in their life. It certainly looked like an obviously coordinated effort from the Burton Batcave...

Contrary to some apparently, we don't think you have to be gay to read Advance Indiana. Although I frequently disagree with Gary, he's a very good read and isn't as fiercely partisan as others.

Kurt Luidhardt is on Burton's advisory committee, so don't waste your time addressing a reply to them.

I can't really understand why someone whose blog contains so many anti-gay and anti-equality commentary would really be interested in reading this blog in the first place.

Kurt & Kristen;

Burton smells a close primary.

He's toast. And an idiot.

He's taken multiple raises over the years, and had no trouble cashing the checks. Or putting his daughter on his campaign payroll for almost $150K.

He ought to be ashamed, and there is no defense. This latest bill he's introduced is a smokescreen.

Dan Burton has introduced a bill that would prohibit members of Congress from getting a raise in 2008.

Maybe Mike Pence needs the cash to buy that improved "Dragon Scales" body-armor to wear when visiting county fairs in his District this summer?
