Word on the Blogs

Y'all Politics has the full Noxapater debate video online. Great thanks go to Alan Lange and the boys: Entire 3rd District Debate in Noxapater - Ross, Landrum, Harper & Rounsaville

CottonMouth: David Landrum Attacks Obama And Other Democrats In New Ad - He conveniently forgets that President Bush, (soon to be) Republican nominee John McCain, and longtime "conservative" Mississippi Senator Trent Lott all support some or all of the things he attacks Democrats for. David Landrum has the money and the strategists so he may just win this district, but it won't be because he's the best or most honest man for the job.

JereNash - David Landrum and Immigration - This ad is pretty good proof that Landrum will say virtually anything to try to win this campaign. He juxtoposes footage of seedy-looking Hispanics with Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama while telling us that "The border is broken and so is Congress" and that "Good paying jobs should go to Mississippians and not illegals." What Landrum doesn't tell the voters is that it was George Bush who promoted an immigration bill that contained the dreaded amnesty provision that Landrum pointedly criticizes nor does Landrum offer to crack down on the corporations and businesses that are allegedly hiring all these illegal immigrants. I'll give Landrum the benefit of the doubt when we see his campaign airing a TV ad that criticizes the Jackson Country Club for entering into a settlement agreement with the United States Attorney to avoid prosecution over the hiring of illegal immigrants. Until then, he gets the award for the candidate doing the best job of pandering.

JereNash - The Third Congressional District Campaign - Charlie Ross, the candidate who without question would make the most effective Member of Congress (which is why I hope one of the other candidates win) argued in favor of more support for the war in Iraq. Instead of slashing troop levels, Ross was quoted as saying the country needed to further boost funding for forces in Iraq: "We didn't win World War II by being weak.” Actually, we won WWII because Congress imposed a draft and mandated a national system of rationing virtually every consumer good there was to get, thus generating the human and material resources the country needed to win the war. Now, Charlie, is that what you are proposing we need to do?

MBJblog - Realtor Day at the Capitol - Wednesday, February 20 is Realtor Day at the Capitol in Jackson. After meeting with individual legislators on key 2008 legislative issues, the real estate professionals will then hear speeches from 3rd District Congressional candidates over lunch at the Mississippi Association of REALTORS headquarters in Flowood. Charlie Ross, David Landrum, John Rounsaville and Gregg Harper are slated to appear in the noon to 1:30 p.m. timeframe.

I'm being censored at Ya'll Politics for posting public information about Alan Lange's 5 companies. The funny thing is, if you do enough research at the MS Secretary of State's Website you'll find that there could be a little conflict in his constant barrage against AG Jim Hood. Lange owns 5 seperate companies that are catagorized as "law" businesses. One is a consulting group. Alan is the only memeber of these companies. It's interesting how he deletes comments that don't violate his own terms of service. YA'LL POLITICS CENSORS...PERIOD! If you want't to engage in intelligent debate, I suggest you take your comments elsewhere. Lange will only delete you when you prove a point. It's happened to me...over and over again.

This is also not the forum for that. I will leave your comment up, but maybe you should look elsewhere to discuss that, like The Jackson Free Press.
