Candidate for 17th Congressional District......Dan Moadus

Regardless of your religion, every one of us must admit that the Bible was written 1500 to 2000 years ago.

And in this book we are told that one man stated that "The Poor will always be with you"

Now we have a new savior who believes that we can make the poor rich.

I do not believe that the Constitution that I swore to defend ever stated that we would not have poor people. Nor does it state that we will be a middle class society. That rather sounds sort of Socialist to me.

Can you show us or tell us where in the Constitution of the United States of America that the poor have to be made middle class at the expense of the rich and middle class?

Dennis you are living in a fools paradise if you think that is what this country is all about. We are free to pursue happiness, We are not guaranteed it.

[Towntalk]

Did he ACTUALLY say: "I favor polluted water." "I favor dirty air."?

PLEASE cite HIS EXACT words, their source and date. NOT YOUR INTURPRATION OF WHAT HE SAID.

[irishbobcat]

Green Party members fight for clean air and justice......unlike Mr. Moadus who believes we should just continued to live with pollution and dirty, toxic air...

"Sit back and relax; no one gets out of this alive anyhow. " - Dan Moadus

I completely understand the point that Dan was making, and all you need to do is visit any cemetary.

Are you suggesting that under the Green Party, death would be abolished and we would all live eternally?

ETERNAL = FOREVER

From Google...

Laura Ingraham Calls Meghan McCain A "Useful Idiot"Mar 17, 2009 ... In the latest insult, Ingraham sent out an email calling McCain a "useful idiot"...

Rick,

you are so insensitive you can't even admit when you insult someone.


Sarge,

When I say I believe in returning America to a middle class society you say it's ok that we have poor people in America and if they are poor, tough luck....

You're supposed to defend all Americans, Soldier...or did they teach you to discriminate? ( opps, I forgot, don't ask, don't tell)

[Rick Rowlands]

Forum Manager, there was no defamatory content.  The term "useful idiot" is used to describe someone who is perceived to be manipulated by a political movement, terrorist group, hostile government, or business.   You are welcome to independently verify that statement.

[sfc_oliver]

It's only inequality and injustice to you.

Show me where I have made any such statements.

I am more than happy to defend any statements i have made.

Can you say the Same? (IE "Sarge, I am sorry my taxes pay for your retirement.")

[irishbobcat]

Sarge, you have no room to talk either....all the inequality and injustice that you believe that has come out of your mouth is not fitting of a U.S. Military Man.......

[sfc_oliver]

Dennis you have no room to tell anyone what comments a congressman might make. After all the Bull you have posted about conservatives in General and the military.

[irishbobcat]

It was in the East Liverpool Review Newspaper as a news story, Dan.....

And your comment "No one gets out of here alive" doesn't sound like a comment a congressman would make......unless you were auditioning to be lead singer for " The Doors".....

[Dan Moadus]

You simply can not pick a city, then cite it as a place where people die of cancer more than the national average. That was said of Girard as well, but it was studied and proved not true. The sky is always falling for liberals, er, excuse me, "progressives". Like the coming ice age of the 70's, or the hole in the Ozone layer, or acid rain, or bird flu. You just can not accept that living is dangerous, and life is not fair. Sit back and relax; no one gets out of this alive anyhow.

[irishbobcat]

Dan,

learn some facts......East Liverpool has one of the worst air quality ratings IN THE COUNTRY>.......have a huge cancer rate for a city of it's size, and has a mentally developmentally disabled child population that is off the map....

And it is DIRTY AIR that is the MAIN CAUSE.......

Do some research before you spit out conservative spinning lies, Dan......

[sfc_oliver]

And that is what I have been saying. Take our time and allow science to work it out.

[Dan Moadus]

Though I disagree with the "Global warming" crowd I think we can agree on at least three things:

First, we know that the Earth has been in existence for nearly four billion years, and mankind has been around for about ten thousand, with only the last hundred or so of those years being industrialized. So in this long existence, any damage caused by mankind has been limited to this narrow time span. Also knowing that the Earth has been through many cataclysmic climate events, I think it is safe to say that it will survive for another 25 years or so, regardless of what we do or don't do. Other than Ted Danson or Al Gore, most reasonable people don't see us perishing in the next decade or so due to global warming.

Secondly, I don't see even the environmental zealots making the claim that we are being killed by dirty air. I think most people understand that life expectancy has risen continually, and we will probably continue doing so.

And third, we share the atmosphere with the rest of the world. We don't have an "American atmosphere". Bad emissions from American cars and industries will circle the globe, and bad emissions from other nations will as well.

With these three things in mind and considering the present plight we find our economy in, don't you think we could take a break from saving the globe for a couple of decades and allow American industry a little breathing room so that it can be revived? Let China and India take up the fight for the next ten years, because if they decide not to worry about the environment and continue to build their industries at the pace they are currently doing, it won't matter how "green" America becomes anyways.

Let's get off the backs of American industry for a while so that it can do what it does best which, of course, is to lead the world. We need to restore our industrial base and economy to secure a decent standard of living for our children.

Let's take a gamble that the globe can make if for another 20 or 25 years, and then revisit the global warming issue. In the mean time, maybe China and India could be persuaded to join us in making the necessary changes.
Taking into account the rapid pace of technology (think of all the products that didn't even exist 25 years ago) there more than likely will be fuel and battery technologies developed in the next decade or so that we can't envision today, that will help all of the world protect and restore the environment. Let's not make our Country destitute before that happens........Dan Moadus   http://www.danmoadus.org/

He's a useful idiot of the Green party and thats about all.

Please abide by our rules.  There should be no defamatory content.   

The man stated he is willing to answer questions. 
Perhaps it would be in our best interest  to ask the questions before expressing our own ideas and positions?
