Wayback Machine: Mike Chaney's Comment on Insurance Reform and Speaker Nancy Pelosi from 2008

I recorded several videos at this event back in 2008, but this is the only short one I have.  (YouTube won't allow videos longer than ten minutes and I have little time to be doing video editing at this time.)


I think Mike Chaney is a good man, though I disagree with some of his positions.  I, and Cotton Mouth, thank him for his comments.

This will likely be my last post for the foreseeable future, but I felt these were worth sharing.  Thank you all for your past and current support.  I appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

Y'all Look Out For Super Exciting Posts In A Week

Lucky for me I'm off to another conference Wednesday with the United Methodist Church:

SEJ Convocation for Young People (I'm one of those younguns!)

What that means though is that I won't be able to post in the meantime so you're going to have to wait for great video clips from Netroots Nation and even better video from Gene Taylor's townhall today with a dozen congressmen including Speaker Pelosi.

A bonus clip will be Republican Insurance Commissioner saying nice things about Speaker Pelosi. I definitely thank him for giving me that exclusive (unless of course he's done the same elsewhere), but you're going to have to wait till next week to see it.

Speaker Pelosi congratulates Rep. Childers

Lifted from the DCCC website,

UPDATE: Speaker Pelosi's statement:

"On behalf of the Democratic Caucus, I welcome Congressman-elect Travis Childers to the House of Representatives and congratulate him on his spectacular victory."

As I tell every new Member of Congress, 'your title Representative is your job description.' Travis Childers earned the votes of the people of Mississippi's First Congressional District because he reflects their values and shares their hopes and dreams for the future."

Congressman-elect Childers' message of positive change and bipartisan progress to create jobs, lower gas prices, and improve access to quality health care resonated in Mississippi, just as our candidates' messages did in Illinois and Louisiana in two recent special elections. For the third time this year, Democrats have turned a red seat to blue, provingthat Americans across our country want real solutions and reject Republicans' misleading and negative attacks. For the first time in more than 30 years, Democrats have won three special elections in Republican seats in one cycle."

I look forward to welcoming Congressman-elect Childers and his family to the Capitol and to swearing in the newest Member of the New Direction Congress."

Greg Davis is trying to save us from scary liberals with liberal ideas

The Commercial Appeal's special election preview article came out early this morning. It was fairly standard but this one Greg Davis quote caught my eye.

Davis told several hundred at the Civic Center rally, "Thanks for being here on the eve of the historic election. Voters have a choice. They can vote for my opponent's party that has the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama and John Kerry, all liberals with liberal ideas..."

You know, it is not like the last eight years of Republican rule have been a bed of roses there Greg. The man you brought in to campaign for you today is a principal architect of the failed policies of the current administration. I don't think people are too scared about Pelosi or Obama, they just don't want Dick Cheney or any his cronies anywhere near Washington. Today the GOP will learn a painful lesson. The days of the politics of fear and division are drawing to a thankful close in Mississippi.
