Corder is a RINO who should be replaced

Dear editor:

I am no longer a young person so I feel I have some experience in knowing what is right and what is wrong. Our current senator of District 22, Mr. Corder, seems to be lacking in that department.

He was elected as a Republican but rarely votes with the Republicans in the Senate. It seems that all the issues that are really important such as, support for our veterans groups, English as our official state language, the national health care bill, to mention only a few, he votes against. Why?

I am at a loss to understand his vote and his explanation for voting the way he does.

For the first time in my life I actually looked up all his votes in the Senate and I was appalled. He is not a Republican, he is a RINO (Republican in Name only). I don't have much respect for that kind of a person. He also seems to be proud of what he has accomplished. I don't know why. I am sure most veterans are not aware of how he hasn't supported them.

We need to stop spending in Idaho. Mr. Corder doesn't think so. He wanted to approve the borrowing of something like $82 million in bonds. I guess he thinks we don't have to pay it back. Thank goodness we didn't listen to him. The interest alone would be astronomical and we the taxpayers would again be on the hook for more taxes to pay those bonds off.

He also wanted to increase our gasoline taxes by 6 cents per gallon. Thanks to our leaders, that didn't happen. Mr. Corder thought that was a great idea.

He's never seen a tax he didn't like or a new regulation he didn't like. More and more government in our lives when we need less regulation and less taxes.

He doesn't seem to understand that less taxes stimulates new business, which causes businesses to hire more people who pay more taxes.

I am going to vote for Marla Lawson in the upcoming election. She certainly can't do any worse. I haven't met her but I have spoken to many people who know her and they have convinced me she is the right person for the job.

I think everyone should vote for Marla Lawson for senator on May 25.
