Rammell’s Invocation of Prophecy Rejected by LDS

From the Idaho Statesman:

Idaho GOP gubernatorial candidate Rex Rammell says saving the U.S. Constitution requires God’s help. Rammell’s thoughts are captured in a nine-minute excerpt from a recent news conference now available on YouTube.

“America would not exist if it wasn’t for the divine hand of providence in not only intervening to win the Revolutionary War but in writing the inspired words of the Constitution,” Rammell says in the video. “To think that we can save the Constitution without God’s help when the government of the United States is corrupt is absurdity.”

While the Statesman brands Rammell as a “GOP” gubernatorial candidate (he is running in the Republican primary slated for May), the candidate previously ran under his own branding for the state legislature as an “Independent Conservative.”

According to the Huckleberries Online blog at Spokesman.com, the Mormon Church responded late last month by distancing itself from Rammell, and rejecting any invocation of the church in political campaigns.

I just received the catalog in the mail from the Boise School District. I don’t mean to trivialize the program. In fact, there are some facinating courses out there that teach useful skills. Others provide fairly low cost physical fitness courses.

Roberts Ad Slams Obama on Health Care

Our Boise correspondent, Branden, filed this update last week on Ken Roberts progress in the endorsement race for the 1st Congressional seat in Idaho.

Roberts came out swinging today with a clever ad using puzzle pieces falling into place to reveal ObamaCare as a “big government” solution.

No word yet on whether the ad will go up on TV, or is web-only.

Who’s Holdin’ Out on Roberts?

Yesterday, Ken Roberts, current Idaho State House Majority Caucus Chair announced a long list of current legislators that have endorsed his bid to become the Republican nominee for Idaho’s First Congressional District (CD1). Roberts is currently in a head-to-head match up with political newcomer Vaughn Ward for the right to face first term Democratic Congressman Walt Minnick.
