Picture from Post Crescent.Wisconsin's 8th Congressional District Republican primary runoff forum with three republican candidates in Appleton. Conservative politics 101 to my children.
First, I would like to thank the The Fox Valley Initiative and Jim Steineke for holding the forum. I will make some comments of what I listened to mixed in with the article from the Post Crescent. Because I have some things to say I will do it in separate parts. I will again state that I am a conservative and not a republican. I don't need to hear Newt and the boys telling me who to back in the election and then we get this crap,
Number of times "Jobs" was mentioned,
Ribble - 1
Savard - 0
Williams - 0
Will someone wake up in this party! It's JOBS,JOBS,JOBS. Very disappointing! People are laid off from jobs. People are worried about losing their job. People are looking for jobs. People are looking for leadership in creating jobs. How and what will a candidate do for jobs. I know what a conservative would do. More on jobs later.
Interesting, how many times "Conservative " was mentioned,
Ribble - 0
Savard - 0
Williams - 3
Are conservative voters, people with conservative beliefs and conservative constituents a bunch of lepers? Let's give Andy Williams this one. I'm still disappointed ! Either taking conservatives for granted or following the republican handbook on campaigning, which one is it? I consider this a slap in the face to all conservatives!
From Rush, "Real conservatism wins every time it's tried"

From President Reagan's "Farewell Address to the Nation, January 11, 1989"
And that's about all I have to say tonight. Except for one thing. The past few days when I've been at that window upstairs, I've thought a bit of the "shining city upon a hill." The phrase comes from John Winthrop, who wrote it to describe the America he imagined. What he imagined was important because he was an early Pilgrim, an early freedom man. He journeyed here on what today we'd call a little wooden boat; and like the other Pilgrims, he was looking for a home that would be free.Let's go to the APC write up.
