Comments for Downer to continue campaign against Landry at http://www.theind.com , comment 1 to 3 out of 3 comments http://www.theind.com Tue, 21 May 2013 15:19:10 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6843-downer-to-continue-campaign-against-landry#comment-10057 It's more than a bit ironic for a group to state that someone should drop out of a race "in the interest of liberty." There should be no more doubt that much of the TEA party has become just another Republican establishment mouthpiece. It ain't no Ron Paul party anymore. Judging by Landry's campaign website, I see no indication that he would resist the Republican form of big government, namely military spending/global imperialism and imposing "values" on citizens through federal government. He issues a lot of partisan talking points about bailouts and government picking winners, but what about giant subsidies like $40 billion a year for agribusiness? What say you, Chris Comeaux? But Downer looks like he may be even worse as far as militarized big government and imposing his values on everyone. - Resident Tue, 31 Aug 2010 07:10:28 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6843-downer-to-continue-campaign-against-landry#comment-10054 Thank you very much, The Independent. At least ONE area media outlet is reporting on this race. The rest are treating the race as if it was being run in another state. Is it being ingnored because the 3rd Congressional District is not in Lafayette Parish? - MeMe Mon, 30 Aug 2010 18:00:15 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6843-downer-to-continue-campaign-against-landry#comment-10049 My God, Downer should bow out. He doesn't have a chance and will only anger those who he is forcing go out Oct. 2nd and vote again. We should put together a donation fund to help pay his expenses if he agreeds to get out of the race...hint hint. - Turiddu Mon, 30 Aug 2010 15:20:15 +0100
