Wardell Explores Ethics Charge Against Billy Long

It is with no joy that I make this announcement.

A week ago, Mr. Billy Long, a Candidate for the 7th Congressional District, attempted to bribe or coerce a citizen journalist into killing a blog, critical of his campaign in exchange for a position on his campaign. Fired-Up Missouri, a liberal blog, is already tracking this.

It has been a week and Mr. Long has not denied this charge.

Mr. Long must step down as a candidate, not because I asked him to but because he gives napalm to Tim Davis and the Democratic Majority. If we Republicans tolerate this behavior and sweep this under the rug, we will regret it.

If Mr. Long and his $500,000+ war chest were to win the Primary, Tim Davis, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barack Obama will pull out all the stops and flood this district with cash and support in a race that the Democrat Majority is losing members at lightning speed.

They will wait until September and THEY will file an Ethics charge, damaging the Republican Candidate, and potentially having him removed from the ballot. Barack Obama used a similar tactic in his own Senatorial race in Illinois and won

I will not stand idle and let Southwest Missouri be hijacked by the opposition, because I lacked the backbone to say something about someone who lacks the capacity to understand the ramification of his actions could potentially damage my Party and my District.

Socialized Medicine, a Personal Experence.

If you would like to know what Socialized health care is in store for the Masses...follow this one:

I'm a disabled Vet. I have spinal cord issues. These started in '92. keep that in mind.

Today I drove from Springfield, Mo. to Fayetteville, Ark. for an evaluation that is taking the Federal Government, are you ready for this? 18 years to deal with, I'm still waiting...

I left Nixa, Mo., drove to Springfield to drop my Daughter at Grannies to stay for the day. (she's two) and then to Ar. I drove 236 miles 'round trip, was paid $96 bucks for travel, and for what? An Examination that took.....15 minutes...this was followed by x-rays (another 15min.) for the umpteenth time to determine the same thing, I'm hurt. This could not be done in Mt. Vernon because, are you ready for this? "They (Mt. Vernon) don't like to do it (disability evaluations) because 'This is not what I was trained to do"...Guess what?? Tough Sh!$ That what you were hired to do. Don't like it? Pack your trash and pay your education bills in the real world.

The V.A. wants Vets. to go to Ark. instead of opening a hospital here in the Springfield, Mo. area, which, by-the-way Ft. Lenard Wood send its' patients to in dire need, to HERE! what bovine scatology is this?!

I stood in line and watched a dispersing clerk, issue, based on what I witnessed, almost $1000.00 in about 8 minutes....for travel...YES! $50K plus per day....ok,ok,ok, lets be 'reasonable' cut it in half. You mean to tell me that we can't build a hospital for the vets of the 7th for the cost of the same?? let alone the time lost in wages, family, hotel, and emotional distress?

This is the vision of a sliver of what it would be like. Thank for nothing, B.O. and all your predecessors that ignored this problem.

Wardell Calls For Long to Step Down

Congressional Candidate Michael Wardell running for Missouri's Seventh District Congressional Seat that Roy Blunt currently holds issued the following statement:

Over the past several days, a report has surfaced that has shaken the very foundation of our District, our Liberty, and our Party and has embarrassed my fellow Conservatives. A candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives should be an example of leadership, Integrity and Character for the community regardless of party affiliation.

We Republicans have railed against the Democrats for their backroom deals, Louisiana Purchases and its Nebraska buyouts, and yet one of our own who professes to be the citizen that should go to Washington D.C. believes that those rules only apply to others.

According to blogger Bungalow Bill, who writes Bungalow Bill’s Conservative Wisdom and Billy Long is Wrong, on Tuesday the 2nd of March, Mr. Long attempted to stifle free speech, and buy the bloggers silence. The two met for coffee and the rest, they say, is history.

This is not the kind of representation we need in the 7th Congressional district, and if confirmed Mr. Long should step down from the race. If Mr. Long is able to weather this lapse in ethical behavior and make it to the general election, his opponent will charge in with bayonets fixed and firing, and the seat could be lost. I’m not willing to accept that.--Michael Wardell 3/5/2010
