ReplyDeleteExcellent information, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAnother copy and paste, hard-hitting piece.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 5:11, you are absolutely correct- except for a few things. The information is taken from Billy Long's quarterly FEC report, which is linked to in the post. If you check out the post, you will see no indications that anything has bene copied and pasted. Feel free to run any of my post through Google and you will not find any instance of it being published anywhere else. It is original reporting. I do copy and paste material on my blogs. In every post that I copy and paste, I give complete attribution. Often at the top of the post, you will see who the news release is from, which offers you the opportunity to judge its legitimacy. When the Joplin Globe and many other newspapers run news releases, they often say 'from staff reports," which is usually a good indication that no one on the staff had anything to do with it, except, of course, for copying and pasting.
ReplyDeleteThe second part of your comment is right on the money, if you will pardon the pun. it is a hard hitting piece.
Long is a waste of space. He came in on the tea party bus and is taking all of us for a ride. He doesn't represent us. He's in it for himself and his cronies.
ReplyDeleteBilly has been feeding at the public trough or so long, he now resembles "No Neck" Nick.
ReplyDeleteHahaha

I just called Billy Longs office in Springfield and asked if he currently has any town hall meetings scheduled. The answer was "no", he's been in Washington for the past couple of weeks. I think we need to demand he represent us and how the hell is he going to do that if he isn't communicating with his constituents? He is a joke and a disgrace to our district.
