Just noticed this at the Casper Star Tribune, Trauner tries again for House.

The gag-me-with-a-spoon money quote:

He thought about running again and talked with his family and friends, he said.

But the defining moment in his decision occurred a week or two ago after President Bush vetoed the bill to expand the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, and a man in a grocery store called a newspaper article about it to Trauner’s attention, he said.

“He looked at me and said, ‘You know what, Gary, I’m a Republican, but don’t we deserve better in Wyoming?’” Trauner said. “As I walked around the store for the rest of the morning, or at least for doing my shopping, I thought to myself, ‘You know, I need to run again.’”

And with that heartwarming story, we’re all so happy we’re puking rainbows.

Or, are we?  I think Wyoming Senator John Barrasso hits the nail on the head regarding SCHIP,

“Congressional Democrats are hijacking the program and turning it into a massive new entitlement,” Barrasso added. “Their plan would allow families in

New York making $82,600 a year to get free insurance for children and adults. In my opinion, the hard working taxpayers of Wyoming shouldn’t be subsidizing the health insurance for a family of four in

New York making over $80,000 a year.”

And here is the difference between Wyoming Republicans and Wyoming Democrats.  For some reason, Wyoming Democrats think that the citizens of Wyoming ought to give more money to the federal government.  As if the eastern liberals haven’t screwed us over enough with the wolves situation, let’s pay for their free health care too!  Wyoming Democrats are stuck on stupid.

As if we need another reason to vote against Trauner, Scott over at Wyoming Vote Tracker posted a letter from Right to Life of Wyoming a couple days ago:

“Trauner would join his colleagues from California and New York in trying to force Wyoming residents to pay for abortions with our tax dollars,” Ertelt added. “Fortunately, Barbara Cubin has protected us for years from funding the abortion industry.”

…

“Barbara Cubin has backed measures that have strong support in Wyoming such as a ban on partial-birth abortions, making sure parents can be involved in the abortion decisions of their teenage daughters, and protecting pregnant women who are victims of violence,” Ertelt said.

Last I checked, Wyoming citizens were not in favor of infanticide and double homicide.  What makes Trauner think he is even remotely qualified to represent us?
