Dumping Dan


My long-time conservative congressman Dan Burton has a Republican challenger this year in the primaries. As far as I know, the challenger is a good man who would represent Conservatives well in Washington.

As far as I know.

But we've seen so many men go to Washington and change. They talk like Hoosiers and Conservatives when they campaign, but all of a sudden in Washington they fall under the spell of the liberal media or Hollywood elites and they forget their promises.

My point is: Dan Burton has not.

In Washington he talks and votes the same way as he does on the campaign trail. He's been my Congressman for many years and he is yet to be "turned" by Washington.

Shall we reward him by turning him out? Shall we dump him because another attractive candidate - an unproven candidate - wants his job?

For me, this decision is a no-brainer. It's easy. Dan Burton has been loyal to us. We should be loyal to Dan.
