Hey kids it's your old pal..."BOZO"-WELL!!!

Midnight tonight is the deadline for those on Medicare to enroll in the drug benefit without facing a penalty. The enrollment period began 6 months ago on November 15, 2005. Dummycrats want that deadline extended and Leonard "Bozo"-well was at an Urbandale pharmacy today to soak up the lights of the TV cameras. "Bozo"-well doesn't think seniors are smart enough to understand the various plans and believes they should have until the end of 2006. "Bozo"-well is co-sponsor of legislation that would do just that. He doesn't say what will change in the next 7 1/2 months that will allow for any grand epiphanies! "Bozo"-well said he doesn't know the likelihood that Congress will change the deadline. Ideally, he said he would like something done Monday, but can't predict what will happen. WHAT?!?! He knows exactly what will happen today, NOTHING! Plus he's in Urbandale/Des Moines today, not in the nations capital where he would need to be to VOTE!!! The utmost irony is that "Bozo"-well voted against the Medicare drug bill!

Rees' Pieces

One of the vanquished Republicans(?) that ran for CONgress endorsed Dummycrat Leonard BOZO-well.

Mark Rees finished fourth, out of seven candidates, in the primary with 1981 votes.

The undervote almost doubled his total, and the scientific community is united in that fact, with 3905.

When Rees entered the race he stated, “This country wasn’t built by career politicians and I don’t think our founding fathers intended our government to be run by them either.”

And he's supporting BOZO-well?

BOZO-well has been in CONgress since 1997 and prior to that was in the Iowa Senate from 1985 to 1996.

While a candidate, Rees believed his campaign would be focusing on the issues instead of personal or political attacks.

Out of the gate BOZO-well went with an attack ad.

BOZO-well must be worried for those 1981 votes as he appeared at a news conference with Rees this morning at the downtown Des Moines Public Library.

What'd he say?

House Dummycrats have spent most of the week embarrassing America with the Iraq War resolution.

Leonard BOZO-well took the opportunity to embarrass any Iowan with a brain.

BOZO-well, on the floor of the House, was supposed to say..."I recognize the pretext for going to war was based on faulty, misleading intelligence".

What BOZO-well said was, "The pretext for going to war was based on faulty, misleading misinformation."

HUH?

Let me say that again backwards, HUH?

Wow, a double negative.

That makes the information accurate and BOZO-well having no intelligence!

No wonder the Dummycrats consider his seat vulnerable for '08.

I agree with the Wall Street Journal's take on the debate...

"Congress has rarely been distinguished by its moral courage. But even grading on a curve, we can only describe this week's House debate on a vote of no-confidence in the mission in Iraq as one of the most shameful moments in the institution's history."

"On present course, the members will vote [today] to approve a resolution that does nothing to remove American troops from harm's way in Iraq but that will do substantial damage to their morale and that of their Iraqi allies while emboldening the enemy..."

"The motion at issue is plainly dishonest, in that exquisitely congressional way of trying to have it both ways. ... The resolution purports to 'support' the troops even as it disapproves of their mission. It praises their 'bravery,' while opposing the additional forces that both President Bush and General David Petraeus, the new commanding general in Iraq, say are vital to accomplishing that mission. And it claims to want to 'protect' the troops even as its practical impact will be to encourage Iraqi insurgents to believe that every roadside bomb brings them closer to their goal."

AMEN!

Stop, Look And Listen Baby

That's my philosophy, it's called rubberneckin' baby but that's alright with me.

Not too many stopped to gawk, or listen, to Leonard BOZO-well at the Iowa State Fair.

Ten to 12 were in the crowd(?) that included his family, the press and a member of Tom Latham's campaign.

Here's what Leonard laid on them...

“I had a person come up and talk to me a while ago and say, ‘You’re kind of a nice guy.’ I said, thank you, I appreciate that. ‘Mr. Latham’s a nice guy, we’re kind of confused.’ I said, ‘What are you confused about, look at the record.’ You’ll find out you don’t need to be confused”

The BOZO-well record includes supporting TARP --

“I voted for it. My opponent did not. He didn’t think it was a good idea. If you want to know a difference between he and I, there’d be a difference. And it’s pretty big”

BOZO-well also bragged about supporting Obamacare  and not voting for Paul Ryan's budget --

“I did not. So there’s some things to be thinking about there.”

So think about this, BOZO-well voted to reduce Medicare spending by $716 billion between 2013 and 2022 which directly affect current retirees.

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

It's looking like the year that Leonard will finally be let go by the voters.

An older woman said she will vote for Boswell but she doubts he’ll get more than 46 percent.

No truth to the rumor it was his wife, Dody.

Yuan Help Biden Help Boswell?

Demonstrating how to "strangle them" Republicans, Vice President Joe Biden jets carbon neutrally into the Capitol city for a fundraiser for one of the "dullest" members of CONgress, Leonard BOZO-well.

Roughly 225 guests will pay a minimum of $150 per ticket, or 1001 Chinese Yuan Renminbi, to get Bidened by the man who believes he's second in the line of succession to the President.

BOZO-well's latest commercial slams his challenger Brad Zaun for wanting to give "our money" to Wall Street.

It would have been nice if the CONgressman could have remembered it was "our money" he's been spending all those years in Washington and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Previously BOZO-well and the Dummycrats have attacked Zaun for shipping jobs overseas, yet BOZO-well voted (Roll Call 1140 & 1177) for the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 which has killed jobs in the U.S. and sent them to China.

Cheap Trick

I see CONgressman Leonard BOZO-well has let loose with a negative attack ad on Tom Latham.

The ad (Deal), rips Latham's insider deal for voting against TARP, but the "Latham family bank actually received $2.4 Million from the bailout".

The ad then suggests, "no wonder Latham's net worth has increased nearly six times since coming to Congress" and continues with "it's true, Latham and his family bank cashed in your tax dollars".

FactCheck.org notes that Latham resigned as a director when he first ran for Congress and has not had a management role since.

It is also shown that  “At the time we discussed entering into TARP, we did not consult with any of our owners individually".

Latham had no knowledge of the transaction, something BOZO-well can't claim in his dealings with a cell phone company and the scientific community is united in that fact.

BOZO-well has raked in more than $50,000 since 2002 for hosting a cell phone tower on his property, while sponsoring a number of bills designed to boost rural telecommunications.

CHA-CHING!

As for Latham's net worth increasing, BOZO-well's has increased from 1995, when he first ran for Congress, to his latest disclosure in 2011.

In the Lion's Den

I was stunned at the setting, but I have to give major credit to Jeff Lamberti for doing it.

Lamberti debated Leonard BOZO-well yesterday AT the United Auto Workers Union Hall north of Des Moines.

You can't be timid if you're running for Congress and Lamberti wasn't. The Ragister reports he "attacked" BOZO-well's record on wasteful spending.

Because of that he made an impression with one voter.

Mark Cohan, a registered Democrat from Urbandale, said he was "on the middle of the fence."

"I was impressed that Mr. Lamberti raised several issues that are part of wasteful spending, and I was saddened that Mr. Boswell did not reply to that."

Lamberti was also able to turn BOZO-well's "experience" against him.

"I feel like I bring a lot of experience to the table, and experience counts," Boswell said. "It's not a time for on-the-job training."

"My opponent has been labeled as one of the least effective members of Congress and the least effective member of the Iowa delegation," Lamberti said. "I will fight for positive change."

Leonard BOZO-well is a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, but that's as close as he gets to INTELLIGENCE!

Dummycrat Demagoguery

It was an October Monday 2004 in Newton, Iowa when John Edwards first professed that Dummycrats have the power to HEAL!

"If we do the work that we can do in this country, the work that we will do when John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve are going to walk, get up out of that wheelchair and walk again."

This week Dummycrats have been at it again.

Representative Benjamin L. Cardin (D-MD) is running for the U.S. Senate and told a group of 15 people at a Cancer Support Center.... "We are going to lick cancer by 2015."

Not to be outdone, Leonard BOZO-well told a gathering of a similar size at the Iowa State Fair...

"Scientists and the research community - they are unanimous in this ... they think they are just on the brink to do something for that, for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease and a whole bunch of others. Why wouldn't we do that?"

He came to his brilliantly spoken conclusion watching a little girl's battle with juvenile diabetes and a childhood friend's paralysis. BOZO-well says that helped shape his support for stem cell research in hopes of finding a medical cure for such ailments.

First: Scientists and researchers are never UNANIMOUS on ANYTHING! Here's proof BOZO-well is wrong. Ronald D.G. McKay, a stem cell researcher at the National Institute of Health (NIH), has admitted publicly that stem cells as an Alzheimer's cure are a fiction, but that "people need a fairy tale."

Second: Charles Krauthammer, well known political commentator, is also an M.D. and has been paralyzed since 1972 says...."For 30 years I have heard promises of miracle cures for paralysis.
The last fad, fetal tissue transplants, was thought to be a sure thing. Nothing came of it."

Finally: George Bush is the first president to approve federal funding for stem cell research. There are lines of stem cells now available. There is no ban, President Bush vetoed expanding federal funding of embryonic stem cell research. If embryonic stem cell research was so promising it would attract private investment, like Adult stem cell research.

Dummycrats and the media can't be bothered with facts!

Solid Gold Telephone

It looks like someone has finally brought technology to Leonard BOZO-well.

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

The Washington Free Beacon reports BOZO-well has raked in more than $50,000 since 2002 for hosting a cell phone tower on his property, while sponsoring a number of bills designed to boost rural telecommunications.

Apparently conflict of interest is not in the CONgressman's vocabulary.

Who are we kidding, the word vocabulary isn't in BOZO-well's vocabulary.

I'm thinking the CONgressman will say the story is based on faulty, misleading misinformation,even though it comes from his own financial disclosure filings.

What me worry?

Dummycrat CONgressman Leonard BOZO-well is refusing to debate his primary opponent Ed Fallon.

Debate sponsors, The Ragister and KCCI/TV8, suggested two dates at the end of May (when BOZO-well might be awake).

BOZO-well's campaign believes there wouldn't be enough time, prior to the June 3 primary, to respond to any misleading misinformation or any negatives that came up.

From their candidate!

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

CON job

In a TV interview Leonard BOZO-well made it seem he's too busy doing the peoples work in Washington to debate his Dummycrat opponent Ed Fallon.

BOZO-well's recent schedule, per his office, found him in Central Iowa.

Saturday, May 10

• 8:00 a.m. Boswell will walk in the Arthritis Walk at Blank Park Zoo, Des Moines
• 11:00 a.m. Boswell will attend the Sisters on Target, Brunch & Learn for Ladies meeting, DMACC Urban Campus, Building 1, Ankeny

Monday, May 12

• 7:00 a.m. Congressman Boswell’s 3rd Annual Bike Work to Week Kick-off, Ride begins at the parking lot of the Central Presbyterian Church and ends at Boswell’s district office at 300 East Locust St., Des Moines
• 11:00 a.m. Boswell will attend the Altoona Chamber Bruch reception, Adventureland Inn/Central Park, Altoona

Looks like there was plenty of room to discuss issues important to Iowa's 3rd district.

Kick-off?

Bikes have Kick STANDS, but you don't want to be Kicked-off a bike!

What's a BRUCH?

I'd be surprised if Bozo-well biked to work at his office and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Grandpa (Tell Me 'Bout the Good Ol' Days)

Leonard BOZO-well's re-election battle with Tom Latham was the subject of a Dave Price report.

POSITIVE OUTLOOK: Boswell said he feels confident about his chances

BOZO-well is 77 years old and sounds every bit his age when he says such gems as;

we can't afford to keep doing what's going on

they can bring us the technology

we ought to do all the science that we can

misleading misinformation

My mother is one year and a week younger and she shouldn't be representing anyone in CONgress either and the scientific community is united in that fact.

It sounds like the press and BOZO-well will try to make an issue of Latham's friendship with House Speaker John Boehner.

Boswell said, "Oh, I'm sure. That's factor. Are they tight? I don't know. They're friends and we'll just have to see." adding "I have some friends, too."

Yes he does, just not as powerful as they used to be.

Iowa Proud

Leonard BOZO-well used to be my CONgressman, thank God I got an upgrade.

This man is an embarrassment.

Here's his take on new coal fired power plants in Iowa...

"...we ought to do all the science that we can."

"If they can bring us technology..."

Ugh, fire good!

In February 2007, BOZO-well embarrassed us on the House floor...

"The pretext for going to war was based on faulty, misleading misinformation."

BOZO-well must believe that GRAMMER was his mom's mom and the scientific community is united in that fact.

The Dummycrats know he's weak and at one time considered his seat vulnerable this fall.

They just didn't think it would be internally, from this guy...
















Ed Fallon.

Just A Good Ol' Boy

The Ragister makes it seem that CONgressman Leonard BOZO-well had an epiphany on health care because of his town halls.

A minor exception is Rep. Leonard Boswell, who staked out support for the public insurance option during meetings in Sigourney and Des Moines. The Des Moines Democrat said he had long been open to the position but had not committed to the stance endorsed by House Democratic leaders.

Leonard doesn't know what an epiphany is, let alone know how to spell it and the scientific community is united in that fact.

His mind is so open, his brains fell out years ago.

Bleeding Heartland noted on June 9th that BOZO-well still supported a health care reform bill containing a public option that would go into effect immediately.

Also mentioned is how BOZO-well signed on Health Care for America Now's core principles on health care reform.

Core principles that include a public insurance plan without a private insurer middleman that guarantees affordable coverage.

I'm just amazed that the sophisticated media doesn't call Leonard on his goof, err good ol' boy bs.

White Rabbit

I'm late, I'm late for a very important date
No time to say "Hello", "Goodbye"
I'm late, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late...

CONgressman Leonard BOZO-well, too busy in Washington to debate his Dummycrat opponent, spent the weekend in Des Moines again.

BOZO-well told the Ragister that after he met with President Bush, and advisers, in 2005 he began to support U.S. withdrawal from Iraq.

The Ragister noted it wasn't until last year that BOZO-well began supporting troop withdrawal measures.

Timely CONgressman, and the scientific community is united in that fact.

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards

Blinding me with SCIENCE

Representative Leonard BOZO-well comes across as a desperate politician who only cares about being re-elected.

He has pandered to a little girl with diabetes during his debates and he has slammed President Bush and Jeff Lamberti for their stands on stem cell research.

He's tried to intimate that the President and Lamberti are against stem cell research. I know the President respects life, but his veto this summer only prevented further federal funding and did not stop stem cell research.

Here's what BOZO-well had to say about the President July 19....

"Science, not special interests, should steer lifesaving medical research. The research community has made tremendous strides in recent years in a number of areas. Many believe stem cell research is pivotal in the fight to cure juvenile diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injuries and other disorders. This is revolutionary research....

It is unfortunate that President Bush has chosen to block this important research. It is a mistake for him to issue his first veto on this measure. Special interests should not scuttle critical research on deadly and debilitating diseases. This is a chance for America to move forward and not fall behind in scientific research."

Here's what I wrote about on August 17 (Dummycrat Demagoguery)...

Ronald D.G. McKay, a stem cell researcher at the National Institute of Health (NIH), has admitted publicly that stem cells as an Alzheimer's cure are a fiction, but that "people need a fairy tale."

George Bush is the first president to approve federal funding for stem cell research. There are lines of stem cells now available. There is no ban, President Bush vetoed expanding federal funding of embryonic stem cell research. If embryonic stem cell research was so promising it would attract private investment, like Adult stem cell research.

Now fast forward to October 22....

Injecting human embryonic stem cells into the brains of Parkinson's disease patients may cause tumors to form, U.S. researchers reported on Sunday.

Steven Goldman and colleagues at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York said human stem cells injected into rat brains turned into cells that looked like early tumors.

....Goldman's team used human embryonic stem cells. Taken from days-old embryos, these cells can form any kind of cell in the body. This batch had been cultured in substances aimed at making them become brain cells.

...Scientists have long feared that human embryonic stem cells could turn into tumors, because of their pliability.

If BOZO-well had any integrity and actually cared about his constituents, he would truthfully speak about how any REAL scientific progress doesn't come from embryonic stem cells, but from adult stem cells.

There's proof courtesy of SCIENCE!

Brilliant!!

That or "Yarr, Genius" are two things my wife and I say when we come across something REALLY stupid. Leonard BOZO-well, a 72 year old man, on myspace is REALLY stupid!


http://www.myspace.com/leonardboswell

Myspace is a social network geared more for the younger, 25 and under, crowd. BOZO-well is
pushing his re-election on the site. I would think he'd have to list it as an inkind contribution, for his campaign disclosure, because it's a free site. His opponent, Jeff Lamberti doesn't have a listing. BOZO-well panders to the crowd with....Who I'd like to meet:

Everyone living in the great 3rd district of Iowa who will join the fight to get results for everyday folks, keep us safe from terrorism and make a commitment to the things we value: better schools, better safety, better jobs and better health.

Then there's a listing of his "Friends" all 565 as of this writing. These geeks post pictures to represent themselves and their user names too. Here's a few I found unique, as posted by themselves:

BrokenJoshua

"The broken one has arrived" Male 27 years old Des Moines, Iowa United States

ha ha. fuck you.

"i never made a scene. they came to me." Female 20 years old urbandale, IOWA United States

Bullshit Buffet

"totally" Male 19 years old Des Moines, IOWA United States

Punk Ass Princess

Female 29 years old Des Moines, Iowa United States

Locally Famous

"live for everything die for nothing R.I.P Tookie" Male 19 years old Des Moines, IOWA United States

It's obviously only a sampling. Maybe it's just me, but if I were a sitting congressman in a tough re-election fight, I wouldn't want these as my campaign "friends". I sure wouldn't want the media to find out either!

I Quit! I Quit! I Quit!

Two big departures from the arena yesterday, one expected and the other not.

Family man Tyler Olson ended his race for Governor.

Things are going so well for State Senator Jack ASS...err, Hatch that he is donating $200,000 to his own campaign.

Bob Krause says, I’ve been more successful than people realize.

In politics, if the people don't realize it, you aren't successful and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Krause continued -- One thing is to determine whether there is an upper limit to what I’ve been doing.

Short answer -- YES, and this is it.

I'm looking for Dummycrats Rob "Boss" Hogg or Des Moines Mayor Frank Clownie...err Cownie to give Hatch a run for his $200,000.

The other big departure was my Congressman, Tom Latham.

My first thought was that it makes Dummycrat Staci Appel-sauce for brains suddenly a viable candidate, but then it passed...like a fart.

I'm wondering if Leonard BOZO-well might want to give it another go, but that could just be faulty, misleading misinformation.

I expect State Senator Matt McCoy to jump in, after all he dropped his CONgressional bid when BOZO-well moved to Des Moines.

Is Hating the Haters Hateful?

After what seems like months, Nancy Pelosi is done letting Alcee Hastings twist in the wind.

Hastings had campaigned for the Chairmanship of the House Intelligence Committee, just recently sending out a letter to Representatives seeking their support.

The Congressional Black Caucus had also sent a letter, to Pelosi, in support of Hastings.

Pelosi announced her decision yesterday and had this to say about Hastings....

"Alcee Hastings has always placed national security as his highest priority. "He has served our country well, and I have full confidence that he will continue to do so."

I guess that little impeachment thing in 1988 doesn't count!

Pelosi was one of 413 who voted to remove Hastings as a Federal Judge, because evidence showed he had conspired to solicit bribes/money from defendants in return for favorable treatment in Hastings’s court.

Hastings shot back at critics with this statement....

"Sorry, haters, God is not finished with me yet."

As the book title says, Ironically found at gohastings.com (I doubt that there's a connection), I love God's sense of humor!

I'm sure he enjoys watching people make an ass of themselves and be an example of how NOT to live a purpose driven life.

PS: How about Leonard BOZO-well for chairman, isn't he on that committee?

BOZO-well on a government intelligence committee there's a conundrum wrapped up in an enigma that is an oxymoron.

Iowa's Dummycrats are the BIGGEST WASTE

In two recent ratings for Congress, Iowa's CommieTommie Harkin & Leonard BOZO-well are really RANK!

For the past 17 years, the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste(CCAGW) has looked at votes in Congress to determine who is voting in the taxpayers interest versus who prefers big government and pork-barrel spending.

The average rating for the House of Representatives was 45%, of that Republicans were 73% and Dummycrats were 13%.

LeonardBOZO-well's score was 8%!

The average rating for the Senate was 46%, of that Republicans were 68% and Dummycrats were 18%.

CommieTommie Harkin's score was 4% and that was the lowest score recorded!

CommieTommie wasn't the only Dummycrat with the lowest score. Others in the quagmire were; Byron Dorgan (ND), Richard Durbin (IL), Frank Lautenberg (NJ), Pat Leahy (VT), Paul Sarbanes (MD) and Minority Leader Harry Reid (NV).

Also, The Club For Growth came out with their ratings.

Leonard BOZO-well's score was 11 and that ranked him next to John"CUT & RUN" Murtha.

CommieTommie Harkin's score was 0.

That tied him with 20 other Senators. Some of those 20 were; HRC, John Kerry, Teddy Kennedy, Robert Byrd, Barack Obama and Harry Reid.
