The consummate politician, “win at any cost” is Congressman Michaud. Only place your finger in the air to see which way the the wind blows.
He in his last four runs for Congress has excepted thousands of dollars from the NRA in support of the 2nd Amendment Right to Bear Arms. Now he seems to say that maybe that was not such a good idea. A major fund raiser has just concluded in York County who are in support of gun control. No one , absolutly no one, should have endured what Congresswomen Gifford and nine others suffered at the hands of a mad man that all the laws you can make will not prevent a mad man with a death wish from doing it again. So, Congressman weatherman, what does your finger say? You cant be on both sides.
You served on the house Veterans Comittee from 2006 to now. On your watch 37 vetereans died in a Pheonix , Ariz. veterans hospital after surviving Normandy, Chosin Resveroir in Korea, The Tet offensive in Vieitnam or, most recently, the battle that still rages in Iraq, only to die in the country they gave us, from neglect. If you ask them, all would say to a member, ‘I’d do it again.’ You were made aware of the condition at that hospital and for what reason, you chose to ignore them. I am veteran and that rings home to me.
The 31st of May last, this President released onto the free world five terrorists in exchange for an AWOL (ABSENT WITHOUT LEAVE) Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. In my belief, WE DONT EXCHANGE. I called senators Collins and King, Congresswoman Pingree and Congressman Michaud, asking there stand on the exchange. All answered my call with a written reply to my concern, EXCEPT Congressman Michaud who has yet to respond.
Maybe he will respond after the storm has passed.
