Moore Bends (again) to Washington, D.C. Trial Lawyer Lobby
First
Dennis went along with trial lawyers on suing companies who have helped
in the War on Terror, now Dennis has once again proved his
loyalty to the trial lawyer lobby when he rejected a proposal to
protect firefighters who assist families in their community with the
proper installation of child safety seats from frivolous lawsuits.
Fire departments are becoming reluctant to assist parents with
child car seat installation due to a fear that ambulance chasing
trial lawyers are waiting in the wings, ready to hit firefighters
with frivolous lawsuits in the event of an accident. Moore voted
against providing liability protections to these firefighters so they
can continue to provide this invaluable service to moms and dads in
their community.
Approximately 2,446 children under the age of 14 die in a motor
vehicle incident each year. A study conducted by the National
Institute of Highway Safety in 2005 concluded that approximately 73
percent of child restraint systems had at least one critical misuse.
Dennis Moore should be focused on protecting the courageous rescue
workers who sacrifice for their communities and are working to make
sure parents are trained and kids are safe.
Unfortunately,
this is just another example of Dennis Moore bending to the will of
this powerful Washington Special Interest group and Speaker Nancy
Pelosi.
Just in the last 2 months, Dennis Moore caved under intense pressure from the trial lawyers who hope to sue companies like AT&T for up to $40 Billion for helping America's intelligence agencies conduct surveillance on foreign terrorists after 9/11. It has been 2 whole months since the Protect America Act expired and Congress still hasn't passed legislation renewing the law. Now, our anti-terror forces estimate that they are missing 2/3rds of the foreign terrorist chatter that they would be able to catch had the law been renewed and now those companies who have helped in the War on Terror stand to be sued for billions by the Trial Lawyers.
We're all friends here, right? Let's drop the pretense. The problems with the bill to renew FISA was that a few corporations went along with requests they knew were illegal and helped spy on Americans. Now they're afraid they may be liable, and indeed some suits have been filed. The White House is more interested in protecting its co-conspirators or it would have allowed this bill to be passed long ago. The business about "missing 2/3rds of the calls" is complete horse manure, of course.

Does your website not support hyperlinks. There are a whole lot of statements being presented as facts in this post without anything to back them up. How hard is it to find those numbers or that study on the internet and link to them. In this instance, I think you're just lazy/clueless, but people are going to assume you're lying. Most of the time they'll be right of course, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt here.

And what does Moore's alleged opponent have to say about this? Well, actually the same thing he's been saying for months - Nothing! By the time people sit down and actually explain these issues to Jordan so that he understands, the time has passed. Pathetic.

This seems a bit hard to believe, but Phill has done stranger things.
He has said he would not run.
He barely was elected by party regulars from JoCo to the seat Morrison vacated.
He's peed away tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars on his campaign to settle his score with Morrison. The vote to give him another $25 grand won by only a single vote in the County Commission.
If he was the candidate, the seat would be vulnerable to a Democratic pickup.
He could draw a strong challenger in a bloody primary, eating up big campaign bucks though he probably has enough contributors from outside the county to afford to win a primary, at least.
He doesn't live in JoCo, or are you talking about Shawnee county D.A.?
Is Hecht retiring?

Phil polled likely GOP voters a few weeks ago. He has a 97% name ID, 55% negatives and 31% positives. Morrison, supposedly, is still showing 42% negative and 41% positive. Until this poll Kline was seriously considering a run for DA but this has got to end those hopes...

Frank, you are an idiot. Kline DOES live in JoCo. He also has a home in Topeka where his daughter attends school, but he LEGALLY lives in JoCo.

"You are an idiot." Yep, that's a Kline supporter allright. Only Kline faithful would find living in his car to be a residency in Johnson County.
