#1 Plainspoken. One of the reasons I voted for him.

#2 What happens when they hear from constituents over Memorial Day is unknown and unknowable.

Maybe I'll rent a boat this weekend, cruise Nantucket Sound, and hope Ted Kennedy crashes into me so he can hear my views...

#4 I met John Boehner at a small "meet the candidate" event in a neighbor's home in WestChester in 1990 when he was seeking the Republican nomination for Congress. He is, in person, very much what you see on television, a self-made man driven to do the best he can for his family and his country. He is a living Horatio Alger story. He worked his way from the mailroom to president of a small company in Ohio, then married the owner's daughter and proceeded to grow the business by orders of magnitude. He is also very much a gentleman and such language in public is unusual. In many respects, he reminds me of Duncan Hunter.

#5 I'm glad someone of importance in Congress sees this bill as I do. If it passes, it's the death knell for the America I grew up in; we'll definitely have civil war within a decade, and maybe sooner. I remember hearing some police officer at the time of the Oklahoma City bombing commenting on Tim McVeigh's motivation: "Want more of these? Just keep pushing." I think the passage of this bill, with its huge influx of nonassimilating foreigners and the complete refusal to implement the enforcement provisions, would probably be one heck of a push. I truly fear for my country these days. It doesn't seem like there is anyone with patriotism and good sense at the helm anymore.
