Now your telling me that a minister wouldn’t lie about his residency? I can tell you from personal experience that one of my local friends refuses to take checks especially from ministers. It’s time to answer the most basic of answers are given,……

But while you’re on the subject, she could have the resume of Henry Kissinger, Bush 41, and Adlai Stevenson all rolled into one, and I wouldn’t care. She doesn’t meet what should be the easiest of qualifications — She doesn’t live in the district.

Your swipes at the Yale MBA in the Oval Office are not only uncalled for, but also incorrect and insufferably arrogant. Isn’t it funny how the press has characterized almost every GOP president or candidate as a dummy or out of touch, including Eisenhower (who only orchestrated the greatest military attack in the history of mankind)? Actually, it’s not funny, it’s sad.

You say though that it is amoral… I think that’s a bit of a stretch. You also say she is not qualified. Well, I think that’s also wrong. Her bio:

Tammy received her bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Hawaii and her master’s degree in International Affairs from The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. She was working on a doctorate in political science at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb when deployed to Iraq. She is a published author, with papers and textbook contributions on the link between environmental health hazards and cancer.

She is more qualified than our current president in understanding complex political views and I bet she can pronounce all of the heads of states successfully as well.

;-)

That’s just like in OH’s Second District in June of 2005, where if one month move-in Bob McEwen would have won, he would have reported to his Christian fundamentalist backers and not to us.

The bottom line is she will not be looking to represent us (I live in the 6th district). She will owe everything to Emanuel and the national Democratic party and do what they say.

The type of people I would support wouldn’t do an amoral thing like try to represent people they don’t live among.

As my post patiently explains, I don’t think it should be legal to run in a district you don’t live in, but it is. In spite of that, not voting for such a person would be a good idea. Last year, I suggested not voting for a Republican who had moved into my district a month before the election.

A congressperson should be a part of the district they represent, and that means living in it. Someone who refuses to be a part of that district doesn’t deserve the votes of the residents of that district. I’m suggesting that people not vote for representatives who take that stand, and I will do so until November 7. Based on the surprising results in IL’s 6th District, more than a few people there agree with me.

Nice try though.
