From Craig web site: His mission and goals. He must have been working on goal # 1 in airport.

Philosophy, Mission and Goals
Adopted Summer, 1991; Amended Fall, 2003

I believe in the constitutional principles of limited federal government,
free enterprise, private property and individual liberty and responsibility.
I will defend these principles on behalf of the citizens of the state of Idaho,
the West and the Nation.

mission
Consistent with my conservative philosophy, I will fight to preserve the quality of life that is uniquely Idaho. I will defend the sovereignty and security of the nation. I will provide leadership and effective service to the citizens of Idaho, protect and promote the interests of our state at the national level, be a leader in the areas of natural resources, fiscal restraint, agriculture, energy, aging, and states' rights, and help shape and advance the Republican Party and conservative ideals and issues.


goal one:
Deliver timely, high quality constituent servicing

goal two:
Protect the sovereignty and security of the nation while guarding our personal freedoms and restraining the growth and power of the federal government.

goal three:
Defend and strengthen the traditional values of the American family.

goal four:
Establish federal policies that are responsive to the needs and interests of the West by building strong, sustainable rural communities; ensuring access to adequate, affordable health care; and developing natural resource and energy policies that protect water and ensure a clean, safe environment, consistent with sound science, economic growth and the principle of multiple use.
goal five:
Develop education policies that recognize the role of parents and local communities, encourage innovation, enhance school choice, and improve the quality of education.

goal six:
Promote policies that stimulate a robust free and fair market economy, encourage economic development, strengthen American agriculture, open markets for Idaho and U.S. products, and foster job creation and entrepreneurship, especially in emerging technologies.

goal seven:
Increase opportunities and incentives for citizen involvement in the political and legislative process.

 

If Hillary were arrested for supposedly trying to pick up an undercover female officer, then I would have to think there was probably something to the article.
Democrats have had their scandals. I want to believe the best about them when they do, but I don't do it blindly.
At some point, you have to go, "This person probably isn't who we thougt he/she was. Oh well, maybe they will be replaced by someone good."

I would.
But the National Review would put it on page One of the next issue and then the mainstream media would rush to "cover the controversy."
Your point being?

 

Outing alert: Joel_Goodsen is Ben Stein...
"Gestapo, gestapo, gestapo!"

I thought Ben Stein was supposed to be smart.

 

What is worse -- his statements, or the way Cavuto just goes along with them and contributes to the idea that Craig is a country bumpkin who was railroad by some slick-talking cop and corrupt Washington insiders?

 

are all of joel's 45 posts on this topic?

 

Of all the stuff you posted, this is the one that absolutely kills me.

Ah yes, the poor, defenseless US Senator squashed by the boot of the American justice system. If only he had the resources to defend himself...

 

that is fairly humorous.

 

In both cases, it is conservatives who would be outraged. You're arguing to try to prove a fact that is not in existence here. There's no cry of outrage here from moderates and liberals, only a deep sense of schadenfreude.

 

Yes, because Woodward & Bernstein never used anonymous sources...
