Is it just me or does any one else get turned off by that freakish monotone presenters voice? I can never make it through the whole videos.

Re: Idaho Sen. Jim Risch Refuses To Talk About President Trump

Ericn1300 — Fri, 11 Oct 2019 21:51:20 -0000

Risch has become so attached to the power and money in D.C. that he doesn't care about Idaho anymore.

Re: Boise Has Recovered More Than 100K Pounds Of Plastic In New Program

Why have two recycling programs? Why not just send all plastic to Utah for diesel.

Re: D.C. Establishments Could Get In Serious Trouble if They Discriminate Against Trump Admin Staff

Ericn1300 — Mon, 25 Jun 2018 14:36:54 -0000

Nothing inherently wrong with discrimination, I was very discriminating when I chose my wife and I'm very discriminating when it comes to food and wine.

Conclusion: discrimination is not always a bad thing

Re: Roy Moore's defeat fuels conflict between millennial Republicans, old guard

"The party responded by taking up a proposal that would bar any member of the
steering committee from staking out positions that run contrary to the GOP platform"

These "purity tests" are what's killing the GOP, their very inability to consider any views that they consider negative will narrow the party further.

So what's the price of tickets at the event? The only reason to pay a service fee is when a discount is offered for pre-purchase or the event is likely to sell out.

Re: New Idaho PAC wants Independents, Democrats to register GOP

Ericn1300 — Thu, 12 Oct 2017 18:07:08 -0000

R vs R would be better than what we have now, too many fine republican candidates have been "primaried" by a self selecting few from the far-right.

Re: Idaho GOP chair decries new moderates PAC; says Dems, independents shouldn’t register as GOP

Ericn1300 — Thu, 12 Oct 2017 18:00:01 -0000

Open and inclusive but only " individuals to affiliate with the Republican Party who share our common-held beliefs". what a hypocrite.

So what does this legislation mean to Idaho? Not much actually.

Re: North Idaho Rep. Heather Scott defends white nationalism; experts say she’s wrong

Well indoctrinated would be a better term, informed implies a certain level of comprehension that seems to be beyond her ken.

Re: Kootenai County GOP condemns Crapo, Risch over sanctions; wants friendlier ties with Russia

Ericn1300 — Sat, 29 Jul 2017 14:30:36 -0000

Do you have any proof that their precincts voted for Cruz? Of course not, and attacking the "left" in an attempt to deflect is, in its self, a demonstration of your own hatred and inhumanity.

Re: AdWatch: Idaho guv candidate makes big promise to cut 'wasteful' state budget | The Spokesman-Review

Ericn1300 — Wed, 21 Jun 2017 21:07:49 -0000

Just preaching to the choir in hopes of making it through the primaries, it's just so sad to see a promising candidate having to cave into the far right ideology that seems in control of the processes of getting elected in Idaho.

Re: Rep. Nate pitches new bill to remove front license plate requirement for some cars

Ericn1300 — Thu, 02 Feb 2017 22:12:15 -0000

The people manning road blocks are very interested in seeing a front license plate. If the majority of states require a front plate then the vehicle seller should be held responsible for providing the mounting braket.

Re: Lawmakers weigh in on gap coverage options…

Ericn1300 — Mon, 24 Oct 2016 17:52:31 -0000

"Rep. John VanderWoude, R-Nampa, said he favors not
accepting federal Medicaid expansion funds, but making grants of state
funds for primary care for people in the coverage gap."

So he wants me to pay more taxes on top of the federal taxes I already pay. My federal taxes won't go down any to compensate for this increase in state taxes.

Re: Sen. Crapo wraps up two-year, 200-city town hall swing through Idaho

Ericn1300 — Sat, 03 Sep 2016 19:45:38 -0000

I wondered where he has been, he certainly hasn't done anything else of note, like actual legislation.

Ericn1300 — Tue, 30 Aug 2016 20:08:15 -0000

Nugie, I have come to the conclusion that you have no clue as to what you are talking about.

Nice work by all of the campaigns, it's good to see some choices. I certainly won't be voting for either of the front runners.

FTFY "In 1996, the Senate approved adding a seventh district to the existing six to meet the needs of Idaho's Republicans that tipped the balance of the commission because they could."

ever it is if the gov cant get a simple thing like voting right how do
you expect them to help you? healthcare is the I am so afraid of get the
gov out of my health."

Government schools could have taught you English if you bothered to go.

It would really help if you posted at least the house bill numbers and maybe even a link to them. Trying to find a bill by subject on the legislature web site is a real chore.
