Comments on: Is It OK To “Carpetbag”? http://conservativenewmedia.com/2009/12/01/is-it-ok-to-carpetbag/ Bringing the real news via the new media Wed, 28 Jul 2010 22:23:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: RF http://conservativenewmedia.com/2009/12/01/is-it-ok-to-carpetbag/comment-page-1/#comment-33 RF Mon, 21 Dec 2009 01:27:51 +0000 http://conservativenewmedia.com/?p=276#comment-33 State law doesn't trump federal election law and the law in regards to residency is very clear in the constitution. Yes, "Carpet Bagging" is wrong. Of course we should elect people that actually live in our districts. These are loaded question meant to generate populous talking points for future usage. At least that is why I would do it. Rat Fu*cking is an art form. The lack of name id in a district is a huge handicap from day one. You can't raise money, have limited volunteer resources, suffer from an inability to get those fantastic in kind contributions, etc. A campaign with resources, run efficiently, solid staff, and the utmost efficacy in getting out the message ought to turn these disadvantages into a solid primary victory. This is Goehrings race to lose. He has to really control the field to generate the ground swell necessary to defeat McNerney.

Nevada County now stuck with McClintock and that is shameful. Change state law. Two years not only gives a person time yo understand local district issues, and gives VOTERS a chance to know the real candidate. Minimum two year resident before running in a district.

I do not understand why someone would do this. If they need a job for the next 2 years, there are plenty of others out there, even in this economy, besides political office. Let's support Conservative Republican candidates who say what they mean, mean what they say, and come from the district they want to represent in Congress. No it is not okay to carpetbag.

These people are running to be our REPRESENTATIVES. How do you represent something you have no ties or knowledge of. I'm sure these two men are more than qualified to run in their OWN districts, but why go through the trouble, when they can campaign amongst a large conservative base in the Central Valley. We need someone who can represent OUR needs, not someone who's just looking for a job for the next two years. I fully agree. These people are running to be our REPRESENTATIVES.
