Finally, Doug Lamborn has received a real, honest-to-God endorsement today. He must be so proud.
I just got back from the presser and here's the report: The endorsement is on embossed stationery with a signature and statement and "Paid for by the RNC" tag and everything. All you could want in a big time endorsement - except one thing.
Jay Fawcett was awarded the Bronze Star in Gulf War I - that's what I call real world experience. And that's the kind of person we desperately need in Congress now. The finale......
I will work with my colleages in the Republican leadership to make this Armed Services Committee assignment become reality. I am pleased that you have chosen to seek election to the House of Representatives....
The one thing lacking is that this is the same Speaker Hastert who is in charge of the GOPedophilia cover-up by Republican House Leadership of Representative Mark Foley's (R-FL) recent trolling for Capitol Hill interns.
Here's what Jay Fawcett had to say:
"If Speaker Hastert wants to give him a seat, that's fine. If he thinks he'll have a job in November then he can legitimately make that commitment.
The problem is that Doug Lamborn doesn't have the requisite knowledge about the Armed Services Committee, let alone the Armed Services themselves, to perform this job satisfactorily. He won't be able to ask tough questions nor hold our leaders accountable when they send our young men and women off to war.
Doug Lamborn will be just another Rubber Stamp for this failed Republican Congress. This endorsement is meaningless."
