Default Met Congressman Jeff Landry

I met Jeff Landry tonight at the Westlake DU banquet. Had a few minutes to discuss politics and he was a very nice guy. Was leaning towards him anyway and he sealed the deal. He even bought a couple items at our banquet.

Ha! That's some good ones!

On a more serious note, I went to high school w/ Jeff and we both worked at SMSO while attending college. He went on to law school and I went to a career in emergency services. One thing I have to say is that Jeff is who he says he is. If you are looking for a hard nose conservative, he's your man. This whole redistricting thing that has taken a seat from us really sucks, but I look at it like this:

If we are going to loose a vote, I want to keep one that will always represent me. I am supporting Jeff in his bid, and even have a yard sign in my yard, but I really don't like politicians, or lawyers. But I know, he will be our best choice! My most important factor in this election is the fact that Jeff wants a balanced budget amendment. To me, we have to do it, have to make it happen, and the time is now. I know the leaches of America won't want it, because they stand to loose so much, but without it - we will never again be a strong America. Bostany will never vote for that because of his alliances, so of the 2 - that is my sales pitch for Jeff.

"I really don't like politicians, or lawyers"

That's a pretty generalized statement.

I make my statements in a joking sense, mostly. I have friends that are lawyers, just don't agree with their thought process sometimes. Dang, even lawyers I work with tee me off! Seems they always make things harder than they need to be..............sort of the same w/ politicians!

I spent a little time with him this morning, seems to be a fair enough guy...

He is a great fan of the oilfield/petrochemical and related industries !!!

Man, it's going to be one bloody race.

If you would have asked me during August of last year, I would have told you I was going to vote for Boustany. By the time this past August came around, I had changed my mind.

I have friends on both sides, though, so it makes it tough.

but as far as Jeff Landry....he has my vote....but he really needs to counter Boustany's radio commercial that I hear on Kbon 101 that says he wants to raise taxes....its definitely a hit piece but he needs to respond to it...people will believe it.
