I have told anyone who has ever asked that even when I worked for Andy Horning against Andre's grandmother in 2004 that Andre was always civil and friendly and he continued to be during the 2008 campaign. <BR/><BR/>I appreciate him not letting politics get too personal once the camera's and microphones are off.<BR/><BR/>The opposition so many have to Andre is based on beliefs about the proper role of government, the belief that he will continue to be a rubber stamp for anti-American, anti-free enterprise socialist Democrat policies and that we're not supposed to have "royalty" in the U.S. but politics has become very nepotistical.<BR/><BR/>As for Wilson's comment about Bush and borrow and spend. I was glad to see you oppose such disasterous fiscal policy. Now can we get you on board against "tax and spend" as well? ;-)Sean Shepardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04784017076656340302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-41401785116584884082008-04-18T21:27:00.000-05:002008-04-18T21:27:00.000-05:00Number one, the Carson campaign is not out of money, and will have plenty to get the message out before the primary.<BR/><BR/>Number two, Congresswoman Carson proved that winning this district is not a question of cash. If it was, we would have had Congresswomen Delaney, Blankenbaker, Congressmen McVey, Hofmeister, etc., etc.<BR/><BR/>Number three, I don't recognize the cartoon character of Rep. Carson portrayed so often here. This is a very kind, very intelligent person who you all would like very much if you met him. Take the opportunity to do so sometime and I'm betting you'll like the man who will be our Congressman for some time to come.CarsonSupporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228318714958069977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-35489072896569311622008-04-18T19:47:00.000-05:002008-04-18T19:47:00.000-05:00Wish-TV is now on this story:<BR/><BR/>http://www.wishtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=8195370<BR/><BR/>Is the "nice surprise" that Carson refers to in the story the Obama support?

He's anti-war, pro-constitution, pro personal freedom, and wall street loves him. <BR/><BR/>Also, anyone ever notice how Ron Paul doesn't lie to us? <BR/><BR/>However Wilson, since you cannot think for yourself, I would not expect you to realize that unless the democrats told you it was true. <BR/><BR/>And Flynn...yes, I can be gullible sometimes.

What a loser. <BR/><BR/>Obama's endorsement of Andre Carson really made me take pause about Obama. I was seriously thinking of voting democrat in the primary for Woody Myers to block Andre Carson and pick Obama while I was at it. Now I don't have to.<BR/><BR/>Obama's was a careless endorsement of Andre Carson when he runs commericials that claim he won't take big interest money. I guess that doesn't stop him from endorsing candidates that do. <BR/><BR/>Nothing to say, Wilson?<BR/><BR/>--Melyssa<BR/><BR/>P.s.
