Jim Nussle give back the Cash!
I thought you were going to give back 1/3 of your salary after you got to Washington? I guess you were busy divorcing your wife and handicapped child that you used in your adds, very moving front porch picture. Yet another "family values" republican- I have heard that you claimed the general accounting office wouldn't accept the check. I have never had a problem writing a check and finding someone that would be glad to take it from me. Just make it out the the US government I am sure George (spending like a drunken sailor on leave) Bush could find a way to spend it. Hold this guy to his word. I haven't forgotten. Remember this when old Jimmy boy comes back to run for governor.

2. As Nussle wasn't in this district until 2002
Edited on Tue Aug-31-04 10:25 AM by Bluzmann57
I didn't know all of this that you are saying. He has an office here in Davenport, so I think I'll start asking questions about all of these points you bring up. And the Democrat hq is about a block and a half from my house, so I think I'll wander over there and point this out to them for the Gluba campaign. Mr. Gluba, while far from perfect, is still a better choice than Nussle, who doesn't give a damn about people in the first district. Thank you for all the info. And if Nussle runs for governor and is successful, I'm moving to Illinois.

3. They should hammer him on it
this isn't wasn't a figment of my imagination either. He sat on the porch with the wife and kid and said politicians make too much money. I am going to give back X amount of my salary. I am 99.9% sure it was 1/3rd.

4. No, you're right
He talked about family values, cong. pay, and TERM LIMITS. He's renegged on all including his family who he "Newt-ed" after his affair.

8. I remember the ads when he first started running
Shameless. Trotted out the wife and the kid with Down's syndrome to show what a great family man he was, then dumped them when he got to Washington. He's a slimeball.

6. Can somebody email him
Edited on Wed Sep-01-04 02:27 PM by Rambis
I want to know his response to the " I am giving back 1/3rd of my salary" question. I am at work and have been advised to stop using email here. Thanks

9. I emailed him a couple of weeks ago
about Hastert's comments regarding Soros' financing. Hastert said something like Soros was getting drug cartel money, and I emailed Hastert about it. They said since I wasn't a constituent, they couldn't answer me. So I contacted Nussle and finally got a reply today. I hesitate to call it an answer because all the note said was "Thank you for contacting me...Your comments are important...You should stay informed, etc". HE NEVER EVEN MENTIONED HASTERT! So it's obvious these bastards stick together. I bet if I emailed him and said Boswell is a bum or something like that, he would have 1- gotten right back to me and 2- agreed with me. This one is classic political run around. Sorry I can't post the reply here, I'm sort of a dumbass with computers and haven't quite figured that one out yet.

7. Nussle's a Nazi...
I've written him several times. Most unaplogetic right-wing stooge I've ever seen.

While you're at it, ask him why the deficit's so damn huge, if he's chair of the House Budget Committee. Is he incompetant, or what?
