Article I thought was written by a Dem (florida opinion piece)

[SaveAmerica]

Written by Choice Edwards, a former Republican Indiana legislator. I almost fell off of my chair when I read that at the end of the article:

Mr. President, you had me at Ground Zero. Shortly after the attack on the World Trade Center, when you so eloquently said, "I hear you, and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear from all of us soon." You had me, brother.

<Snip paragraphs about everyone rallying around GW and a comment about his daughters not enlisting>

Mr. President, you had me at Ground Zero; but now you have lost me. Let's see if I have the facts: Iraq was no threat to us and was not involved in the 9-11-01 attack. Since our invasion of that country, Islamic terrorists have multiplied worldwide and are streaming into Iraq to join in as insurgents; Iraq-related American men and women deaths are now about half of the number slaughtered on 9-11 by the non-Iraqi hijackers; thousands of Iraqi men, women and children have been killed. And we have spent $200 billion with no end in sight. Other countries of coalition forces have now come under terrorist attack for joining us in Iraq. Is that about it?

Well, Iraq, a small Third World country, was not a problem for American citizens on 9-11-01; but it is now. Thanks.

I support our troops and not this Iraqi invasion. Unfortunately, you cannot bring them home to their families because you broke it, and you now own it.

Choice Edwards, a former Republican Indiana legislator, lives in Clermont.

8. Good searching!

the guy served 1 year in the Indiana Assembly over 30 years ago,
I'm surprised he showed up at all.

What kind of search string did you use?
Did you have better luck with some search engine besides Google?

How about this..apparently Choice was a republican african-american legislator back in 1969. I wonder how many other AfricanAmerican republicans there were in in the Assembly in 1969.
I wonder if he still votes Republican?

9. I think you got the wrong guy...

The Choice Edwards you found looks like he was Democrat in the House in 1969:
===================
Choice Edwards (Marion Co.) (H-D) 1969
http://www.in.gov/legislative/bills/2002/HRESP/HC0029.html
The Choice Edwards who wrote the article was a Republican.

For instance Gregory Porter is a Democrat who served in the house since 1993:
Gregory Porter (Marion Co.) (H-D) 1993-present

......
Did you notice in that long list of African-American legislators how few were Republican (H-R)?

4. He could be some retired guy who was in the Indiana legislature

decades ago.

[batsauce]

5. He could be anyone. My sister showed up in Google, and she just clerked

for a legislator.
