Where are they now, CD-05 edition.

(talk about self-promotion. - promoted by Barron X)

In the CD-05 race a year ago, two of the candidates on the ballot were determined to get that pointless Iraq War ended as quickly as possible. Of course, those were the two losers, the Democrat and the Constitution Party candidates. The Republican incumbent who won said he wanted to stay the course in Iraq. The Constitution Party guy has not been heard from since, but the Dem - he is out there making history.

Hal Bidlack, after devoting a career to our national defense, took a year out to run for Congress because he wanted to help the nation get back on course. OK, he lost that race. But he didn't stop wanting to contribute all he could.

But what has he been up to lately ? From page A1 of the New York edition for 4 November of the New York Times:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11...

He is pitching in, doing some of the plodding grunt work to make Iraq safe again for Iraqis.

Props, Hal.

Hal talks the talk and walks the walk.

Even better if he walks the talk.

(Sorry; couldn't resist the wordplay. Has nothing to do with Barron X, whose commentary I seek out as enlightened and enlightening. Just wanted to show my literary mentor how I'm coming, or not as the case may be.)

Huh?

Of course, those were the two losers, the Democrat and the Constitution Party candidates.

Democrat Party? That's Libertad territory. I thought you were better than that.

She wrote "tax cuts" on her hand. A Republican so stupid she had to be reminded of the one thing: "tax cuts." It's like if you saw Wile E. Coyote's paw and it said "road runner."

well, that's not what I intended.

.
"Hal the Democrat," of the Democratic Party. "Candidates" plural should have been "candidate" singular.
I couldn't think of a way to abbreviate the other guy, or I would have. "Brian the Constitution" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. But thanks for helping me correct the oversight and inadvertent slight.
I wouldn't bother to joust with you (collective, the Party) if I didn't respect you.

I'm proud to have know Hal all these years....

...and I wish the People of CD5 would realize what a waste of space Lamborn is.

Folks, give Hal a shot as your Representative, and you'll see what a Congressman is supposed to do for you.

This is interesting stuff Barron

thanks for putting it up. Probably not the last we've seen of Hal Bidlack and that's a good thing.
