Be a man! Stand by your arguments or admit that you’re wrong. This is what seperates liberals from Reaganites. With liberals it’s all about feelings. With us it’s about ideas.

You portray Harris as some form of”right wing nut” yet he is the closest to Reagan of all of the Maryland elected officials that I know. Your rhetoric merely shows how dangerous people like Kratovil are.

Pandering to honest voters by Dems is almost as disgusting as when it is done by members of my own party. This is one reason why I was an early McCain supporter. I may disagree with him on things, but at least I know where he stands. I agree with Palin on more issues, but she is equally straight.

This is why I despise politicians like GW Bush and Frank Kratovil. Give me Andy Harris any day – and twice on Sunday.

Health care is a right? How is that going to play with Kratovil’s claim to get tough on illegal immigrants? If health care is a right, just as public education has been deemed a right, then illegal immigrants will have to be given health care on the backs of hard working taxpayers.

You remind me of a frequent commenter of years past. If you don’t like our little enterprise, don’t read it. While we welcome all comments (except profane ones), why comment if you feel that you are lowering yourself?

People are going to start think that you are on Frank Kratovil’s payroll. We already know that you’re shilling for him.

I appreciate your characterization of Phyllis Schlafly and Eagle Forum. This merely provides more evidence that Kratovil and his hard core supporters are merely leftists pandering for moderate votes.

Phyllis Schlafly NEVER claims that women shouldn’t be police, firefighters or in the military. She is opposed to women in combat. She lead the fight against the so-called Equal Rights Amendment and used the fact that women could be drafted into the armed forces if it was enacted.

Mrs. Schlafley does believe, as do most Americans, that it is wrong to change or eliminate physical tests merely because women are not able to pass the same test in as great a number.

The Eagle Forum is merely a grassroots organization that supports traditional family values. As a Kratovil shill, we can only surmise from your attack on the Eagle Forum as extremist that both you and Mr. Kratovil are opposed to traditional family values. That’s fine, but at least you and Blue Dog Frank should be honest about it.

Take a deep breath!

If you would do a little research you would find that the First District has not been represented by someone from the Eastern Shore for most of my lifetime (I’ll be 48 on Wednesday).

Tom Johnston(?), from Worcester Co. was congressman when I was born. He was defeated by Rogers Morton (from KY) when I was two. When Rogers retired from Congress he was replaced by Bill Mills, who I am pretty sure was a shore native. Bob Bauman was not from here. Roy Dyson is from St. Mary’s County. Wayne Gilchrest is, I believe, from New Jersey.

I for one am not very parochial. The reason that I bring it up is because Kratovil loves to infer that he is from Queen Anne’s. He’s not.

It is Kratovil that is attempting to play to parochial interests, not me. I’m merely reminding folks that Kratovil is not being honest. Of course, what’s new?

Look, this is just another ridiculous blog that continues to misrepresent the facts. His family is from the shore and the time Frank spent in PG was as an attorney when he first passed the bar. You misquoted him as well and worst of all you failed to mention that the organization that he spoke to was the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association, the president of this specific chapter even expressed his support of Frank on behalf of all Federal employees in his chapter. That organization has it right.

Healthcare is a right and not a privelage and 47 million uninsured Americans is a disgrace and FK wants to fix it by creating a comprehensive health insurance plan something that should have been done years ago to protect our elderly from rising drug costs and health care. Have you no soul?

Furthermore, the Andy Harris paints everyone as leftists even the Honorable Wayne Gilchrest who did nothing but represent this district with honor. Harris degraded a sitting US Congressman and then wants to contest values with Frank Kratovil… GET REAL! Andy Harris has the sixth worst environmental record out of 188 legislators in the MD Legislature.

When the legislature voted on whether or not provide OBGYN coverage to all women who need it the senate voted 46-1 the only nea was Harris.

There are many votes like that but none worse than Andy Harris campaigning at a Special Olympics event after having been the only senator to vote against legislation to extend care to special needs children out to thier 21st birthday. Nice job Andy!

To Andy Harris Mussollini is a liberal. Andy Harris is so far right ring that a major contributor to his campaign is the Eagle Forum, an orginazation whose president said women shouldn’t have men’s jobs like police, fire fighters and military. Please hold Andy Harris’ hand as we slip back into the 50′s and have to fight for civil rights all over again.

Andy Harris should be ashamed of himself for being so outrageously dishonest.

I dont’ defend him, or Dems, I would argue this point for anyone with a pulse.

Try to keep your facts straight.
