Comments on: Conway leads in Special Election to replace Nunes https://www.ourvalleyvoice.com/2022/04/06/conway-leads-in-special-election-to-replace-nunes/ In-depth, locally-produced coverage of the Central Valley.

I made my comment about Biden, because you both pretend Conway will re-invent the wheel in just a few short months, while Biden policies have inflicted the highest inflation rate in 40 years. Same was can be said of Carter. Coincidence, I think not, two drooling old white men trying to pretend they are/were leaders. But you will never read about those things in the VV. You will never read about governor Newsom policies inflicting the highest crime ever seen in California. I don't stand here and pretend either party is some great representation of my moral compass and values like you both. I have been taxed for years without representation, regarless of party affiliation. But hey, if you enjoy what California and the US look like today, knock yourself out and keep voting the way you do. If you do not think Governmental policies do not directly and indirectly affect inflation, commerce, gas prices, food, ect., well you do not live in reality. But then again I am not an old wealthy person trying to placate my agenda to the rest of the populous. In reply to Barbara.

Based on your own comment Frankie, I would say you are probably describing a mirror image of yourself. Such a silly-billy! BTW, this article isn't about Biden but if it was, I would counter that at least he isn't a member of a seditious treasonous political group out to destroy our democracy just to grab more power. As it stands now, when a Republican in today's GOP win, democracy loses. In reply to Frank.

Did you understand that this was a story about Conway who is running to replace the position that Nunes quit as Representative of a Trump-voting district? Or are those your Nunes/Trump reading comprehension skills kicking in? But but but Biden and inflation? Check out whose job it is to control inflation. That would be the Federal Reserve . Commander In Chief Biden is busy right now helping Ukraine fight genocidal fascist Putin. Trump, on the other hand, thinks Putin is a genius. In reply to Frank.

Biden approval rating just hit an all time low of 33 percent, while America is seeing inflation rise above 8.5% for the first time in over 40 years. Biden, in some circles is considered the worst in history. But Barb and Bruce want to turn their attention to Trump, Nunes, and Conway,. Typical Jackasses at their finest. In reply to Bruce Waldrum.

Of course Connie Conway will pander to the drooling Trump cultists who infest Tulare/Fresno. That's not Conway's fault. She will just be a trained seal barking on command, because that's what the circus audience came to see. Thanks to Nunes to saddling the District with 1.5 million in pointless costs, just so he could fail over at Truth Social. He has all the integrity of a drippy cow deposit. In reply to Barbara.

Interesting note she is already back-peddling on not running again in the next election. Typical. Doesn't matter, she will no doubt win considering this is a county who sadly continues to embrace a seditious treasonous political party. Again, she will no doubt win this upcoming election but it will be without my vote. In reply to Xavier Avila.

I did not vote for Ms. Conway as she is a member of a political party who in my opinion has been taken over by extremists who are hell bent on denying voter rights and women’s rights, and to protect and/or supports those who engage in sedition and treason acts against our government and institutions. Her recent words of praise for both Nunes and McCarthy is indeed worrisome as both men more often than not failed to reach across party lines seeking compromise and consensus in governing this country. For the record I also do not support any Democrat or Independent who “FAIL” to actively engage with others across the aisle seeking compromise and consensus. That’s their job; it is what they are charged to do. LET’S HOPE Ms. Conway won’t immulate the Nunes two-step in frantically holding onto Trump’s coat-tails in promoting Trumpism while he was inattentive in representing and working on behalf of all constituents in this district. Nunes had been AWOL in representing this district since Ex-President Trump was voted into office. LET’S HOPE Ms. Conway will meet and engage with any district constituent no matter their party affiliation as is her charge to do as an elected Representative. LET’S HOPE that Ms. Conway will not engage in obsessive political divisions by pledging loyalty and fidelity to the Trumpian Cult Republican Party as Nunes and McCarthy has done. If she keeps her word to not run again for this seat she will have nothing to fear by putting country before party as her oath of office requires. Trump Republican firing squads will have nothing to hold over her head by threatening party annihilation if she doesn’t vote in lockstep. LET’S HOPE that Ms. Conway aspires to actually represent this district as a statesperson in Washington with the purpose of governing rather than being another party-line mouth piece obstructing democracy as the vast majority in her political party continues to do. As a decidedly moderate-leaning Democrat I have been voting since 1968 and I voted for the best qualified person regardless of party affiliation. I have voted for many Republicans in the past. Sad to say, the GOP is no longer a political party in the traditional sense but merely a personality cult bound only by their loyalty to Donald Trump. LET’S HOPE that Ms. Conway will be a role model showing others that putting the needs and welfare of the COUNTRY before political parties make America all that much stronger in helping to KEEP OUR REPUBLIC safe from monarchy. There are extremists on both ends of the political spectrum. This country needs BALANCE to keep this Republic from tipping over. Remember the Rolling Stones: We can’t always get what we want but if we try sometimes we just might find that we can get what we need!
