Brother’s Response Defines Stooksberry

Wilson Stooksberry is running for the ninth district Congressional seat currently held by Steve Cohen. He must first win the primary on August 2.

His campaign received a note from someone questioning his candidacy. It said:

Subject: Wilson Stooksberry is a fraud!

….what has this guy done that makes you think he is a constitutionalist?
I think he is a fraud!! what organizations did he belong to?

What did he give money to? what has he gotten off his butt and ever done? I bet nothing.
Who owns him?
he looks like Romney!

I think they put him in to make us think we have a real candidate.

This angered and inspired his brother and campaign manager, Wade Stooksberry, to pen this reply:

Per your message, If you think it would be a good for Wilson to speak with this person, then please feel free . He can certainly speak for himself, in fact there is no one better.
But having said that, these comments touched a nerve with me, as I have been working some 80-90 hours a week on this stuff for months; So I would like to respond to some of her statements if I may (and you are welcome to share my thoughts with this person):
I guess I will start from the top, first on the allegation of being a “fraud” and “what has he gotten off his butt and ever done”. Well to start. Shortly after 9/11 Wilson came to me and wanted to discuss joining the Armed Forces. He was of the opinion that we (our country) didn’t really understand the threat posed to us by Islamic militants, and wanted felt an obligation to serve and protect his country. At the time, he had a good job, and was on the verge of a promising career. Frankly, I tried to talk him out of it, but he has always been a person of deep convictions and felt like this was this was the best way for him to serve his country at that time.
The career path he chose was to be a PJ- a “first responder under fire”; in other words, he wanted to try and save lives of his fellow servicemen on the battle field. This is the most specialized field in the entire military, and there are only 300 of them on the planet. Literally thousands apply every year, but only about 7 a year make it all the way through the 3 year training.
For the sake of time, I won’t go into every detail about what he went through to achieve the rank of PJ, but having talked to him throughout the process, I can tell you it was the most grueling experiences that I have ever heard about. I wouldn’t have made it 5 minutes, let alone 3 years.
During his time in the theatre of battle, he was awarded several accommodations for saving lives and acts heroism, but I want to mention one of those awards because I think it once again speaks to his level of conviction: The United Nations presented him with a medal for valor. He refused. He was told he “had” to accept the medal. So his did, and then publicly burned it on his base. This didn’t win him a lot of friends with the “higher ups”, and could have cost him chances to be “fast tracked” for further advancement. But he doesn’t believe that the UN serves America’s interests, so he was not going to have anything to do with them.
On the political front, predating tea parties or even Campaign for Liberty, both of us worked actively on the Badnarik for President Campaign (Libertarian Candidate a while back). At the time, I had a newborn at home, and really wondered if the huge time commitment that the campaign was worth it. But in the end, I felt like there was no better way to help my new child than to advance the cause of Liberty. I know that Wilson shared my sentiments.

As to “what has he given his money to”: We will be happy to go toe to toe with anyone on giving as a percentage of our modest incomes, both politically and charitably. We have both donated over the years to candidates such as Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Flake (AZ) West (in Florida), Bandarik, Barr, Jim Demint, the Tea Party, Freedom Works, ect, as well as a number other charitable groups such as St. Jude and certain church organizations (and that is just a few off the top of my head). Not to mention the incredible expenses that we BOTH have incurred over the last several months in this campaign, not to mention the opportunity costs (I have turned down jobs that paid much more than I make now, but it would have taken too much time away from the campaign. I am not complaining, I believe in our cause so it was an easy decision. But I think that is worth pointing out in light of these comments). Our money is where our mouth is.
Also, as you well know I was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer, and have been told by doctors that my time is most likely VERY limited. While there is part of me that wants to spend every second with my family, and “getting my house in order”, I believe that the future of the country is at stake in this next election. So I will be working to advance the cause of freedom and liberty to my last breath.
So in short… If any wants to bet on “nothing” as to what he (and by extension I) have done, then they will lose would lose that bet. In fact, put me down for any amount of a “bet” that you would like, and I will be happy to do a side by side comparison with this person (or anyone)
And as for who “owns” us: The two most significant donors to this campaign to date are the candidate (Wilson) and me. Not sure if that means we are owned are not, but I am not sure that will convince this person. Their mind seems made up.

Look. We have a communist who is trying to destroy America and shred the Constitution currently in the White House. I’m not going to defend Romney- He wasn’t who I wanted, and I didn’t vote for him- But I will vote for my shoe before I vote for Obama. At least my shoe isn’t a communist.
This person can disagree, and that’s what make our Democratic Republic great- but the analogy doesn’t hold any rational or logical basis.
And I am not sure who “they” are (I guess that would be me since I was the only other person involved in Wilson’s decision to run for office), but I will say this: we have been offered everything from money to favors NOT to run. My life would be a lot easier right now if we weren’t engaged in this campaign. But since I don’t see anyone running who can truly articulate the founding principles of this country, I feel that our great country can only work with engaged and active citizens, so is up to us to speak on behalf of Freedom and Liberty. I really wish there were someone else. Maybe if this person wants to run, I will support them.

I still haven’t seen one point made on the basis of the issues we have on our website and platform. I expect the name calling from the other side because they have no actual ideas or solutions, In fact, we see it regularly from the left and have gotten pretty used to it. But it saddens me to see it from someone who is on “our” side. But here is the real point of this writing that has gotten way too long (I told you, it touched a nerve):
The framers of the Constitution didn’t agree on EVERYTHING (you should read some of the letters between Madison and Jefferson, talk about some heated exchanges). My Brother and I don’t agree on EVERYTHING. And the goal of this campaign is not to only run for the people who agree on EVERYTHING. (BTW, if everyone were as narrow as this person, then Rand Paul wouldn’t vote for his father, because they have different views on foreign policy
The goal is uniting people around principles and not just methods; i.e. principles such as smaller government, self reliance, decentralization of government and standing up for the 10th amendment, free market capitalism, being a country of laws, not men, and following the Constitution, etc.
And we are going about this goal unapolagetically. If someone wants to only eliminate 4 departments, and we want 5, then we agree on principles, but maybe not methods. And once we are successful in reframing the argument to “how many departments to cut”, then I am open to debating the best methods out there. But in the meantime, I am adamant that we pursue this ideal of rallying around principles, and I will not participate in a campaign that does otherwise. The other side has been uniting for years against us- Communists, elites, socialist, progressives, one-worlders, corporatetocratists, ect. If we don’t unite as well, then all will be lost.
If uniting a diverse group of people around those principles means we lose some voters like this person, so be it- then I guess that we are not the candidate for them. Maybe the right one is Cohen or Bergmann- but I am not sure they can even spell freedom or liberty. But we will remain resolute in our quest toward getting our country back, and we are going to need all of the like minded individuals that we can get. And we also look forward to educating those with perhaps more “moderate” views than we hold. I wasn’t always as diehard in my more libertarian viewpoints as I am now. It is a process that takes time. We should WANT to get these people in the boat with us, so we can educate them on why we believe they way that we do.
Thanks for passing along those comments, and sorry about the length of my response. But as you know, this hits right at the chord of what I am so passionate about. We won’t win over everyone, but are always going willing to try. And no matter what happens, I know we are going to make a difference. We already are.

Obama Makes Speech in Couple’s Garage

At the Daily Mail (yes, the British press reports more honestly than our own Democrat Stream Media) they took this picture of one of Obama’s recent appearances.

So as not to look like he’s stiffing the common man, despite all his schmoozing in Hollywood, the president decided to hold his nose and go from George Clooney’s luxury digs to drop in at this Reno, Nevada, home.

According to the Daily Mail:

As leader of the free world President Obama will be used to making speeches to millions of people around the globe.

So he might have felt the occasion was a little beneath him yesterday when he stopped off in Reno, Nevada, to deliver an address outside a couple’s garage.

In what could be a disastrous photo opportunity for the President’s campaign, Mr Obama spoke to a handful of people in the crucial swing state.

The president’s 15 minute address outside the home of Paul and Val Keller on Friday afternoon, drew a small audience of neighbours and supporters – though even his hosts said they were not sure if they would vote for him in the coming election.

Focusing his speech on home mortgages, Mr Obama said his opponents ‘want to let the housing market hit bottom and just hope for the best,’ a swipe at presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney, who said the foreclosure process should be allowed to run its course.

He urged Congress to pass legislation so homeowners without government-backed loans also can take advantage of the savings when refinancing. The speech came with light audience cheers.

The White House said the chosen couple to meet with and host the president, had benefited from his refinancing initiative, paying $240 less per month in mortgage payments.

Despite this benefit, and a one-on-one meeting with the president in the couple’s kitchen, the couple reported themselves still divided on who they expect to vote for come November.

‘I like him, but I’ve always liked him,’ Mr Keller, a 67-year-old retired electrical contractor told a reporter with the Wall Street Journal.

He said he voted for the president in 2008 and plans to once again this year. His wife remains uncertain.

‘I don’t know yet,’ she answered when asked how she’ll vote. ‘I want to wait and see what happens in the economy,’ she told MyNews4.

Obama is pushing Congress to smooth the way for more people to take advantage of low interest rates with mortgage refinancing assistance, part of a ‘to-do list’ for lawmakers he unveiled earlier this week.

‘We’ve got to have Congress move. There’s absolutely no reason why they can’t make this happen right now,’ he told the crowd outside the Kellers’ driveway which attracted a lean audience roped off across the street.

About 1.1 million borrowers have refinanced through the Obama administration’s Home Affordable Refinance Program, which was enacted in 2009 to help borrowers with little or no equity in their homes. But convincing Congress to agree to added mortgage relief has been a tough sell for the White House.

‘So, I need all of you, and everybody who’s watching, to push Congress on their to-do list. Nag ‘em until they actually get it done. We need to keep moving this country forward,’ he said.

Republicans remain leery of broad-based housing relief programs that could be costly to the government.

Nevada is a critical place to make that sale.

The state’s housing market was crushed when the U.S. real estate bubble burst and prices remain far from the peaks reached in 2006, although local realtors report recent trends have been encouraging, with sale prices and volumes up from last year.

Obama won Nevada in 2008, besting Republican opponent John McCain, but the state is now among a handful of political battlegrounds that could swing to the Democrats or Republicans this year.

A recent survey from Rasmussen give Obama an 8-point lead in Nevada over Romney, who has hit Obama hard for his handling of the economy.

That issue is likely to resonate in Nevada, where unemployment of 12 percent in March was well above the national average.

After his two hour stay Friday, that bid him farewell with an audience’s chant of ‘four more years,’ Obama headed back to Washington.

It was his first visit to Reno in about a year. He carried the swing state of Nevada in 2008 and shows continual lead in the state’s polls.

Obama has made repeated trips over the past several months to Nevada and Colorado, another Western swing state that could hold the key to his re-election if states in the eastern half of the country, such as Ohio and Florida, go Republican in November.

Polls show that the economy is the issue voters care most about in the campaign for the November 6 election.

What I want to know is where was the teleprompter? I’m afraid TOTUS is going to get his screen out of joint, not being included in this appearance.

What next for Obama? A tool shed? A drop in at the Home Depot? Just goes to show that for a politician, no crowd is too small and no venue too trivial to ignore. Their need for the limelight and constant attention never subsides.

Ryder Explains the Primary Process

The long, grueling and sometimes frustrating primary season Republicans have just about finished was explained at length by John Ryder at Tuesday’s Midtown Republican Club.

Mr. Ryder has been involved in the reforming of the presidential process with the RNC for years. “The concern has been that we’ve been in a one day primary,” the Memphian said. “The nominee should not, in my opinion, be elected by four states. I want to make more states relevant. I believe that Tennessee has citizens with as great an intelligence, judgement and foresight as Iowa or New Hampshire. The people of the Granite State are not as intelligent as Tennesseans – I’ve met them,” Ryder said with a smile.

He went on to detail the different ideas the RNC has wrestled with to ensure a more open and fair primary.

“In ’92 we adopted reforms that used incentives and gave bonuses to states to hold their primaries later; as a result six states moved their primary dates forward. In the next changes six more states moved forward and in 2000 60% of delegates were elected on a single day.

“Then we had the Delaware plan. States were ranked from smallest to largest with the idea that nobody could assemble a majority until the big states weighed in. Eight years later we had another variation the McCain campaign didn’t like but we avoided any floor fights and got the right to change the rules.

“We got a temporary committee to draft a change in the rules and voted in 2010 out from the shadow of the presidential campaign. The temporary delegate committee met for two years and we came up with the final plan. It carves out four states: Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada. They got free reign to have their primaries before the first of April but the votes have to be proportional in allocation of delegates. After that date, the states are free to allocate delegates as they wish.

Ryder pointed out that in 2008 the Democrats used the proportionality plan all the way to the convention. “We (at the RNC) thought that made for too much blood letting and spending of money. We wanted to have the four early states, proportional delegates and the rest of the states would have the choice of proportionality and most chose it.

“The fly in the ointment was Florida. They moved their date up. The Florida legislature wanted two things: 1. the power of being an early player and 2. the benefit of money pouring into the state from campaign advertising, trips and hotel rooms.

South Carolina, Ryder said, is a different matter. “The South Carolina Republican Party pays for the election (vs. the state), but then asks candidates to pay for it. They get enough from it to fund the local party for four years. Texas produces 11,000 delegates while there are only 2400 in the national convention.

“You see with 50 states you have 50 different political cultures. Each variation reflects the politics of that state. We thought our plan was a good idea to steer away from a national day. Before we elected a majority of delegates before Super Tuesday. This was the first time that fewer delegates were voted in on Super Tuesday.

Ryder said Tennessee may jump in and move up their date next time.

Tomorrow: What it means to be the presumptive candidate and Ryder’s thoughts on the debates.

Ryder Shares Thoughts on 2012

Tennessee Republican National Committee member John Ryder is optomistic about Republican chances in November. He shared his thoughts on the various races last night at the Midtown Republican Club meeting.

“It’s a winnable election,” Ryder said. “We have good issues.” In the presidential race, Ryder sees a campaign of “two competing visions. Fairness is the key word for the Obama campaign. It’s a fairness that equals sameness and stagnation. Ours is about opportunity; the opportunity to start your own business and the opportunity to prosper. His is one that doesn’t respect the Constitution; our side believes deeply in the Constitution.”

Ryder then went on to talk about factors that will make this election different than 2008. “Obama’s lost the ‘first’ factor. You can only vote for the first black president once. He’s lost the cool factor. That was important to the youth, but with this economy he’s not looking so cool now. And he’s lost some of the left. Those who were obsessed with Bush Derangement Syndrome in ’08 have seen that fizzle now. Democrats have lost some of their energy from 2008, too.”

Romney will have to win three swing states: Ohio, Virginia and Florida. “Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin are in play. The number of swing states have increased,” he noted. Ryder believes Romney can play to dissatisfaction with the economy in these states to win them.

Ryder believes Republicans will keep the House. “We may lose 5 seats, but we can win 12,” he believes. “What redistricting did was to take the marginal ones we won in 2010 and make them less marginal,” he said.

As for the Senate, “we need two seats to be in the majority. But getting there will be hard. Olympia Snowe (the Republican Senator from Maine who declined to run again) may have lost us a seat. We’re in play in Nebraska, Virginia and North Dakota. However, it’s almost an effort in futility because the way the Senate is run now you need 60 seats.”

When asked about the Supreme Court decisions on Obamacare and the Arizona immigration bill, Ryder felt that the oral arguments on our side went well. He indicated the logic and law was on our side and could lead to a 5-4 decision in each case, striking down Obamacare and allowing Arizona’s immigration bill to stand. The severability issue in the Obamacare hints that the whole thing may be struck down rather than dismantled piece by piece.

The ruling will come down most probably the last week in June.

Shuttling to Our End?

This morning television news channels have been following the space shuttle as it makes its final trip from Florida to Washington D.C. Friends in D.C. tell me they could watch it come in.

It’s not a huge news story, but the arrival of the shuttle seems to be one of those pivotal moments; a metaphor for the state of our country right now. Perhaps younger people who have grown up with space flights and don’t remember a time before them are accustomed to it. They probably don’t realize that NASA and our space exploration was like a jewel in our crown. When John F. Kennedy vowed we’d be the first nation to put a man on the moon, it captured the American imagination. He was telegraphing that our nation was so great, it could do the unthinkable. It could reach for the stars – literally. The U.S. had conquered territory and tamed the West in ways our ancestors only dreamed of. We then went on to defeat other nations in the two pivotal wars of the 20th century. We were conquering diseases and building engineering wonders. We invented products that enriched every life. We expanded our culture to every part of the globe. Even in remote places people watched our television shows, hummed our music, copied our dances.

Other countries dreamed of our freedoms, of our wealth, of our optimism. Of being us.

Presidents from Johnson through Bush put NASA as a top priority. When George W. Bush talked about increasing NASA during a state of the union message, he raised the ire of some conservatives. It was seen as too much of an expenditure, and that before the later economic debacle. That loss of feeling in the American public signaled a very bad trend for the nation.

I think he was more right than the Right knew.

Now we have a commander in chief who doesn’t want to command NASA or any other patriotic endeavor. He spoke of hope and change, but extinguished hope and is bringing about the wrong change. It seems a great loss. We have a public that doesn’t feel good about its country. A public that feels we’re on the wrong trajectory. A nation most feel is in free fall from the super power status it once enjoyed.

Like the shuttle, it seems that the days of American exceptionalism are over. They are being taken to a storage facility and closed. From time to time people will want to see the shuttle and remember what it did. Is that the fate of the U.S.? Will we be just a chapter in the history books? Does it have to happen?

Dems Escalate War on Moms

It now has become apparent that Hilary Rosen’s comment about Ann Romney was supposed to be an opening salvo in the war against her. From what I glean, Obama had been in on this plan and expected it to rally more women to their cause. When it didn’t he did a quick attempt to maneuver out of it.

Unfortunately for him, the Dems have let loose on their true opinions on American moms. The latest is this idiot representative from Florida’s District 36, Scott Randolph.

He just couldn’t resist the fun and rushed to tweet some more venom such as these:

Let’s be clear–Romney’s wife has no idea what 99.9% of women in this country go through. Neither does her husband.
How many house servants did “stay-at-home-mom” Ann Romney have to raise her kids. Just b/c u don’t have job doesn’t make u stay-at-home mom.
Wish my spouse had hundreds of millions in off shore accts gained by firing American workers so I could be “stay-at-home-dad”.
Romney should release all his tax returns so that we can see how many nannies “stay at home mom” Ann had. Release ur taxes!!
Totally false that Ann Romney didn’t have job–all those nannies, gardeners, cooks, drivers, in all those houses–If Mitt let her have say

Here’s a picture of the idiot:

Puerto Rico or Core Four?

Much is being made about Romney’s win in Puerto Rico. I don’t remember Puerto Rico’s vote even being mentioned in previous primaries as important, do you? Since the island isn’t a state and doesn’t vote, it seems like a Pyrrhic victory.

Santorum’s win in Mississippi and Alabama does matter.

So does this new Rasmussen poll. In it, “Obama Trails Santorum, Leads Romney in Core Four States” is the headline. In four very important states, Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia, Santorum beats Obama. In those same states, according to Rasmussen, Obama beats Romney. These are key swing states.

Santorum leads the president 48% to 44%. “This marks a shift from last week, when the president was slightly ahead of Santorum,” Rasmussen says.

Santorum may have lost in Ohio, but it was narrowly. He lost in Florida, but that was before his momentum began. Virginia was rigged, with only Romney and Paul on the ballot. North Carolina is yet to come. It is being called the place where the whole election could be decided. That’s why the Democrats chose it for their convention site. Specifically, the area around Charlotte (city for the DNC convention), there are 45,000 people who might determine the whole election.

“Obama remains ahead of Romney 46% to 42%, showing no change from last week,” the poll finds.

So while Romney supporters might be pointing to this meaningless win in Puerto Rico as momentum, let’s wait and see what happens in Illinois on Tuesday. That is, by far, more important.

In the Name of God – Go!

AFter Rick Santorum won both Alabama and Mississippi last night, it’s time for Newt to exit stage right.

Just a few days ago Gingrich’s spokesman called the two Southern states must wins. Those must wins didn’t happen and now he must go. If Gingrich can’t manage a win in his own backyard, where will he win? His role now is just spoiler for Rick Santorum, who clearly has momentum.

In his speech last night Gingrich said he would continue the fight to Tampa. Today there are calls by conservatives for him to eject sooner – like right now.

Gingrich is beginning to look like someone obsessed. He won South Carolina and pundits said that means he would probably win the nomination. But there is no given in that. Newt is looking like a faded Hollywood star still expecting the phone call announcing she has landed a big part. Sorry, Newt, but that phone isn’t going to ring.

If it does, it should be from Gov. Rick Perry. He did the right thing when his campaign imploded and got out of the race. He needs to call Gingrich and tell him it’s over. Man up, do the right thing and don’t hurt the party anymore.

Gringrich and Santorum’s delegate vote toll combined is 486. That outweighs Mitt’s 470 and shows where the party really is. If he is still bitter over the stinging ads Romney ran against him in Florida, Gingrich should take his revenge and throw his support to Santorum.

Jamie Weinstein at the Daily Caller writes “Newt Opts to burn down the GOP house.” He’s right and that shouldn’t happen.

If Callista or Perry can’t reach him, though, perhaps Sheldon Adelson can. He’s Newt’s big money backer, but he may be turning. John Harwood of NBC said he spoke with a friend of Adelson who indicated Adelson has written his last check for Newt.

Matt Lewis at the Daily Caller argues this:

While the idea Gingrich could or would win a brokered convention seems absurd, it is likely that continuing to accrue delegates would give him additional bargaining leverage going into the Republican convention in Tampa this summer.

But there are good reasons for Gingrich to reject that cynical strategy. First, if he truly believes Mitt Romney is a “Massachusetts moderate” masquerading as a conservative, then he owes it to Republican voters to give former Sen. Rick Santorum a clean shot at wresting the nomination from him. I’m pretty sure Santorum has earned it.

Second, staying in the race — merely in order to play a king maker or to curry favor at a later time — is hardly the most honorable or inspiring reason to remain in a race. Gingrich would be essentially asking donors to contribute money to a campaign he knows cannot win — and he would be asking voters to cast their votes for a candidate he knows can’t win.

Then Allahpundit at Hot Air finds this from

PPP: “Our NC GOP poll coming out tomorrow shows an 8 point shift toward Santorum if Newt was out. Nothing but a spoiler at this point.” If Newt wants revenge on Romney for spoiling his chances in Iowa and Florida, dropping out and endorsing Santorum is his best option.

Then Santorum could go head to head with Romney in a more fair fight. Otherwise Romney might win the nomination. With clips like this one, the out of touch Romney might just snatch defeat from the jaws of victory:

Ouch. That out of touch attitude will just open the path to an Obama reelection.

Random Thoughts on Iowa

Michele Bachmann has bowed out; goes to show you how little the Ames Straw Poll means.

In fact, the whole Iowa thing is vastly overrated. C. Edmund Wright at the Americanthinker.com wrote (before the vote even) that “Iowa should not matter.” Wright is right. Caucus goers number 120,000; that’s half of New Hampshire’s voters. And New Hampshire’s voters are half of South Carolina’s and South Carolina’s are just a quarter of Florida’s turnout. That puts Iowa’s importance in perspective.

It’s also an odd state, not really representative of Republicans. They have an overemphasis on evangelicals. They are a dovish, quasi-isolationist contingent, not in keeping with Republican themes. They went for Obama in 2008. They are addicted to their ethanol subsidies. Perhaps it’s no accident that the two most vocal supporters of ethanol, Romney and Santorum, won the vote. How many independents or Democrats voted? Iowa’s voting policy is not very restrictive.

It wasn’t much of a victory for Romney. Eight votes, really? After all that money? There was even some confusion about finding late votes. That never makes you feel comfortable about the ethics involved. I understand that the votes he got last night were less than he got in 2008. Not exactly a ringing endorsement. Actually, it is somewhat embarrassing.

Perry is not quitting. This is good. He may capture some of Bachmann’s votes in South Carolina. Iowa should not winnow out all the candidates or else the rest of us are disenfranchised.

Ron Paul proved some of the polls wrong that had him leading. Not a surprise.

Newt promises to go on attack, but not negative. Huh? Can he pull that off?

Obama gave a speech to his caucuses last night. It garnered little enthusiasm. He looked old and one analyst said “like a third world dictator.”

The whole primary system needs an overhaul. Two or three states should not decide the nominee.

There’s still a lot to go, so I hope the rest of the candidates hang in there and do not allow a coronation of Romney.
