True principled stands are so rare in Congress as to be news worthy. http://Indiana's John Hostettler/ecp/news/article/0,1626,ECP_734_1363000,00.html

I had the pleasure of meeting him this year. What a gem he is. The article didn't mention he is 100% pro 2nd ammendmant. There was a story posted some weeks ago about him talking to people of the higher likelihood of getting breast cancer after abortions, when talking to breast cancer survivors. He doesn't have a problem speaking his mind. We need more politicians who.....well don't lie to us.

Here's a big NRA bump for the congressman! I only wish there were more of him in congress.

"He has failed to cast a single pro-environmental vote in the last two years," he said, citing votes that would enhance farmland conservation and endangered species. "He's pretty much against everything."

Wow. That alone would make him a hero!!

This guy's my man in congress; so, naturally I support him rather enthusiastically.

Having said that, lemme tell you of an article which appeared in the last Warrick County Register; which, is this county's paper "of record."
Keep in mind; the thing's *given* away free; as, it'd appear no one's willing to cough up the fifty cents for a once-a-week copy?

Here's esentually what happened.
Hostetter was to have met with a woman's group whose cause was Breast Cancer, BC research, prevention etc.

This local paper of our's was agast (in their editorial) when Hostetter -- & according to the paper's writer -- while meeting with this group told 'em that recent "research" had concluded women who'd had an abortion, showed higher instances of breast cancer.

The *spin* on the "editorial" was many & varied; such as...
"How could he [Hostetter] be so cruel - so stupid - so insensitive - so uncaring" yadayadayada.
Followed up with, "Does this man Hostetter realize he's hurting his OWN political chances with this kind of rhetoric?"
Then the obligatory *guilt* thang to end it..."Hostetter had NO WAY of knowing if one or *any* of these women had underwent an abortion; so, *WHY* even bring it up!?"

Get the picture??
The man's actively pro-life to the nth degree & that's certainly no secret!!
*Since* this area of Indiana's overwhelmingly conservative, the people usually elect pro-life candidate(s) -- which explains to *my* satisfaction* why the guy's been elected repeatedly -- this paper then feigns shock by insinuating Hostetter was *implying* something more than what he actually said?
Deliberately & painstakingly itemizing each of THEIR (above stated) points; based, upon Hostetter's one statement?

~oy.

Sense an *agenda* here??
Same ol' modus operandi as the The Associated Press' quisling contributing rags will use at the LA/NY Slimes, WACompost, Atlanta Urinal & Constipation, Miami Heresy etc et al.

Point is: there're forces out to torpedo this man this cycle.
They're using tactics that've a distinctive -- albeit familiar -- Liberal-Socialist reek to 'em & most importantly they're using these *smears*, *scares*, *indictments* in an area which should very well be a slam-dunk for Hostetter.
A measure of the Left's desperation?

As I said, the rag this article appeared in is a "Give-Away"; so, take it for what it's worth.

...it went into my trash can anyway; as, it always does.

I am sure there are. All the more reason to reach out and support him. Congrats on living in his District.
