The Burton Blog

New Blog

We found another local 5th district blogger who posted a short article on some recent Burton activity.  Specifically he comments on the bi-partisan effort to get Google to remove terrorist recruitment videos from YouTube.

Check it out.  He doesn't entirely agree with Dan but we're glad he (or she) is reading.

Kevin Tracy on Pence, Burton's Energy Activities

Kevin Tracy, a popular blogger from northern Indiana, covers the Indiana delegation's activities in regards to the House GOP Protest.

The second man here is Congressman Dan Burton (R-IN5) and probably one of the most hard working conservatives in the country. If Abraham Lincoln was resurrected, I wouldn’t be surprised if Dan Burton was told that he was “the rock upon which which I will build my Party.” Seriously, the guy is that loyal to conservatives and conservative causes.

Take a look at Dan Burton’s campaign site here.

The lack of media coverage is VERY disturbing. The only conservative television news network has been dedicated to tabloid stories, foreign kidnappings of cute toddlers, and Sean Hannity’s ego. Although there hasn’t been a complete media blackout of the event from FoxNews, there might as well be.

Burton suggested that John McCain start giving them props for their work.

Oh, but wait a minute, John McCain doesn’t actually give a hoot about the fate of the Republican Party or our numbers in Congress. If anything, “President John McCain” would have an easier time passing his anti-gun, pro-amnesty, anti-family agenda through Congress with a large Democrat Majority. So why would John McCain help these people who, many of whom are directly responsible for the series of defeats his amnesty legislation was dealt over the past three years.

Still, kudos to Burton for bringing this up. Maybe some of you Party Loyalists who are backing McCain can tell him to back our guys fighting for energy independence in the darkened chambers of Congress.

Thanks for the great comments Kevin.  You deserve a prominent place on the Burton blogroll.

Blogger writes about Dan's efforts on Energy Independence

Dan's actions on the House floor are being noticed. Check out one blogger's reaction at Live Dangerously, Be a Conservative.

It looks to me like there is finally a full court attack on our current do nothing course in the House. Other House bills were mentioned in passing as coming up in the near future. I had alluded to that happening and that it looked like Tim Walberg’s Discharge petition was the opening volley. I hope that is right. I hope Republican keep the high ground on this. I hope the thoughts expressed by these three and especially by Dan Burton about being willing to sit down with the other side to work out what is the best policy. “help facilitate the best results”.
