Conservatives are Silenced once again in the Special Session

(We get no Respect) After the special legislative session that passed the Governor’s Education, and Tax Rebate Bill I received phone calls from three legislators—two from the House and one Senator.

It looks like Mayor Mclean has been taking lessons from Governor Little and Speaker Bedke, if you can’t beat them do anything you can to stop or hurt your opponent.

For the past 4 days I have read and listened to folks in the media opine about the “deep fractures” in the Idaho Republican Party. I reviewed the press release from Take Back Idaho (TBI) implying that our new Republican Party Chairwoman is an “extremist”. Like a bully who has just been “stuffed in the […]
