John McCain & Dan Mielke - The Truth

Greetings,

A little while ago in an email sent out on November 29th by the Mielke campaign (i.e. - by Dan) Dan Mielke asserted,

"John McCain is known for not being a true conservative. In fact, he was a moderate in many ways. In 2007 & 2008, I fought against McCain regarding the McCain/Kennedy bill promoting amnesty for illegal immigrants. I also strongly opposed his liberal stand on abortion. During his campaign for President, he promised to tote the line on conservative values because he knew we would not tolerate anything less. It did not work. In 2008, I voted for Sarah Palin and not John McCain."

Never mind how goofy that last sentence sounds since Palin was McCain's running mate.

About a week and a half later on December the 10th, Sean Duffy was being interviewed by Pat Snyder and Tom King on 550 AM and a caller named 'Bill' called in praising Dan Mielke and took a swipe at John McCain saying,

"I don't want another Dave Obey with a Republican name. I don't want a Tommy Thompson or McCain or a 'big-tent' Republican. I want a conservative . . ."

Sean Duffy responded saying,

"I'm a true conservative and if you have a concern about John McCain, you should look at the buttons that Dan Mielke had out last year that he distributed throughout the campaign cycle that said, *McCain/Mielke* and he gave them to everyone in the party - so he's tied himself to John McCain. If you believe in John McCain's conservative principles - and I uh, use that term loosely, then vote for Dan Mielke but it's Dan Mielke who tied himself to John McCain with those uh, with those political buttons."

After that broadcast there was some chatter about this among party chairs in the district. Many of us recalled that long before McCain had picked Palin as his running mate, back in the early winter of 2008 when we had our 7th District convention there were piles of McCain/Mielke pins on every table! Sure enough look what has now popped up:

Seems Dan made so many there were at least 2 different types:



Some with thin lettering and some with smaller, bolder lettering.



I wonder how Dan's friends in the Constitution Party will feel about this? I mean Dan said,

"John McCain is known for not being a true conservative. In fact, he was a moderate in many ways. In 2007 & 2008, I fought against McCain regarding the McCain/Kennedy bill promoting amnesty for illegal immigrants. I also strongly opposed his liberal stand on abortion. During his campaign for President, he promised to tote the line on conservative values because he knew we would not tolerate anything less. It did not work. In 2008, I voted for Sarah Palin and not John McCain."

So while McCain was running as the pro-amnesty candidate, months before Sarah Palin was on the ticket, Mielke (who says he is opposed to McCain-Kennedy) was pairing himself up with McCain? Does Dan Mielke expect me to believe he is anti-McCain when he spent (presumably) donated campaign dollars or even his own money to make these pins identifying himself with McCain? If Jim Traficant were here he'd say, "Mr. Speaker - Beam Me Up!"

Dan Mielke has lied about his support for John McCain. What else has he lied about?



You think?

TTFN,

Jim

Strike A Blow For Freedom! Dump Obey - Elect Duffy!

Elections belong to the people. It is their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters. - Abbie Hoffman

So what?
David Obey


Can you tell these hippies apart?

In order to cover up for the failure of the first stimulus bill, Dave Obey has just helped pass a more modest (cough, choke) second stimulus bill. But democrats are not calling it that, they are calling it an 'omnibus' bill - one that costs $447 Billion. Congressman Obey also arranged to hand out $11 Billion in earmarks in fiscal year 2010. How does congressman Obey think we will pay for it when his usual partner in crime Speaker Nancy Pelosi killed his war tax?

I mean when Obey goes left of Nancy Pelosi - can he still really be representing central and northern Wisconsin? Dave Obey seems stuck in a rut, his answer to every problem is to tax or spend. He doesn't seem to have much imagination for any other ideas. I mean with guys like Dave Obey around, we'd have more fiscal sanity if Doctor Evil were in charge of the Federal Budget:

We don't have to take this much longer though, we have a choice. On December 16th in 1773 was when the first Boston Tea Party. Go to StrikeABlowForFreedom.com and contribute to his challenger Sean Duffy. Duffy is a movement conservative. He is a 4 term District Attorney in Ashland Wisconsin who has spent the last 7-8 years of his life locking up the bad guys. Duffy is a father of 5 with #6 on the way. His beautiful and talented wife Rachel just recently wrote a book on being a stay at home mother.

I've had the pleasure to have known Sean since 2003 as a Republican Party activist. Sean is a family man who has strong conservative values all-around, especially in regards to the rule of law as well as economics and values. Maybe I'm a little biased having known Sean, but don't you think this is *the kind of guy we need* as an antidote to the corruption, expediency & end-justifies-the-means mentality of Obey & Obama? I sure do.

Want to make a statement? Give $12.16 in memory of the date of the Boston Tea Party. Can't do that much? Give $5. You can do better? Give $50 or $100. Whatever, just give Sean something so he can charge on to beat Dave Obey - the chairman of the appropriations committee who has shepherded every bailout, every porkbarrel project, every penny of wasteful spending since the Democrats took control of the House.

TTFN & God Bless,

Jim
