Tom,
  
 Actually, I think for the most part voting is a waste of  time. The elections are rigged from the start by the Democrats and  Republicans who prevent everyone else from participating. Then they rig  it so only the rich, powerful, and well connected can win. Then they  rig it so that when a person does get in there they have to sell their  soul and votes to the lobbyists to get the funding to stay in office. 
  
  95% of politicians become corrupt within one term. The other 5% are the  ones that lose reelection or die in plane crashes. The more corrupt  they are, they higher they go in office because s**t floats. 
  
  To answer your question, I think Brady would have voted the way the  Democrats told him to vote on the bill, or his lobbyists, just like all  the other politicians on the Hill. The EPA fined Otter incorrectly.  Just because the government says you did something wrong, doesn't mean  you did.  I don't agree with Otter on every issue, especially the  selling of Idaho lands. But he is an effective, experienced leader,  that will protect Idaho from Bush and his cronies.----A nice change  from Kempthorne who has had his lips tightly stitched to Bush's ass for  the last four years in the hopes of getting a cabinet position. 
  
  Best,

When the rest of Congress was supporting the Patriot Act,  Butch Otter voiced against it, against threats from the President, and  other Republican Party leaders. He did what was considered unpopular  because he thought it was right and best for Idaho and US citizens,  that they maintain their rights and privacy. That takes character and  personal strength to go against all your coworkers, party leaders, and  even the President who is the leader of your party. 

I don't  give a damn about Otter's personal life, he can have as many  girlfriends, divorces, and affairs as he wants. I don't care what Otter  does in his personal life or if he has a saggy butt or a tight ass in a  pair of jeans, or that he is for removing the tariff on Roquefort  cheese; just as long as he keeps my taxes low, and George W. from  stripping away our Constitutional rights. I think that is a cheap shot  to talk about a man's personal life and his new bride as an object and  not a person of her own merit. 

Best,

Vote Brady for governor 

The  Otter campaign has used “family values” and “devoted father” in  their adds. Otter has been divorced from the Simplot family since 1992,  has had several girlfriends, a DUI and won a tight jeans contest in a  Boise bar, yet, he is mostly supported by the conservative right. Some  say he’s getting married to his present girlfriend to improve his  bachelor image. 

Shortly after being re-elected to Congress, he  announced he was running for governor. Wonder where his focus has been?  Since in Congress he can be associated with allowing for airstrips to  be built in wilderness areas, the sale and exchange of public lands,  supporting highly polluting coal-fired generation, supporting a  feasibility study on water shortages in the Snake River (we already  know the answer, people), extending water contracts for 19 ditch  companies along the Snake, removing the tariff on Roquefort cheese and  removing permit requirements from the Federal Water Pollution Control  Act. 

The bulk of Butch’s PAC contributions come from  electrical utilities, other energy industries and telecommunications.  His top overall contributers come from electrical utilities, forest and  forest products, telecommunications, crop production and processing,  oil and gas and health professionals, the same industries that  contributed $12,201,644 to Bush (opensecrets.org). 

Otter does  not support Idaho education, has no regard for the land on which we  live, but they say he’s “quite charming.” Is this the kind of  governor we need in Idaho? I say no way. Check out  www.bradyforidaho.com
