Barbara Cubin and a fellow congressional
Republican visited F.E. Warren Air Force Base
to campaign for Cubin yesterday, presumably at
taxpayer expense, during something billed as
"an official congressional delegation visit,"
according
to this story in the Wyoming Tribune-Eagle.
The story points out that Cubin's traveling
partner, Rep. Terry Everett of Alabama, took a
Nancy Pelosi quote out of context. Trauner
rightfully pointed out that people don't spend
time worrying about who the next House speaker
will be, but they DO care about the war in
Iraq, health care, and the price of gas. Then,
Cubin makes the prepostrous statement that
people are not interested in and don't want to
hear about the war in Iraq, to which
Trauner replies that it makes no sense to say
people don't care about a war our country is
actively engaged in. Oh, Cubin also wrongfully
claims she has voted for every possible bill to
benefit our troops, but the Tribune-Eagle
reporter notes that she indeed skipped a vote
on a bill to benefit our troops in September
(which should surprise no one based on her
pathetic attendance record). Is it just me, or
do Trauner's chances of winning this race
improve with every time Cubin opens her mouth?
