<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>Thank you for your view. Bouma has eight
(8) convictions in Idaho alone.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>Since I was the first to call Bouma a chickenshit
in print, I am glad to see that others (who may used less viscous [not
vicious] adjectives) are catching on.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>Only stating some of his views, failing to
completely explain others, and refusing to discuss all his
views and the reasons for them openly in public forums is not only
chickenshit but dishonest. I wonder if that is one of the traits Bouma
admires in Phil Hart.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>And Bouma's ads certainly give a false impression
for his support of education and what it amounts to. Those ads also
reveal that he has an extremely dim understanding of how money from
the legislature flows to higher education.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I am furious about his refusal to discuss issues with his
opponent. Gresham Bouma is milking the postcard incident for
all it’s worth. I’m beginning to wonder now, just who did send it?
Bouma has certainly used this as an excuse to hide behind his followers and
keep his philosophical ideas to himself. I have to say, I wish now I had
not denied Nick Gier the opportunity for a follow up question at the AARP
Forum. I recognized Bouma was evading the legitimate concerns of Mr.
Gier and others who have read the sermons posted on the church website (I
guess they’ve been pulled now.) but I had never through the years allowed a
followup and decided not to at that time. I was totally stupid.
Bouma knew he would get away with his evasive rationale and I was concerned
about being even handed. I neglected to be fair because I was concerned
about protocol. Nick, I’m sorry. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The other concern I have is Bouma’s education ad. He touts his
service as a public school teacher, auditor, whatever, shows the picture of
his cute (he really is, I talked with him) young son, who has been home
schooled. One needs to ask, “when teachers school their own students at
home or in places other than the public schools, just where does their loyalty
lie?” </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Someone on this website mentioned what? Bouma’s 4 or 5
traffic tickets over the past decade. (Declaration: I got
one, too, once. It was 40 something years ago when Scott was a baby. It
was all his fault.) And one of Bouma’s is for speeding
through a work zone. And a fishing violation....another
issue. I wasn’t going to speak to this anywhere, but Bouma
refuses to deal with the “unwashed” so I’ll do it here. The
positions of his minister are legitimate questions for those of us who would
ask Bouma’s response to them. I was particularly incensed by the
incident when his minister promoted Bouma’s campaign from the pulpit then
admitted he knew it was a violation of federal law for him to do so. Did
Bouma repudiate that statement? There is no record he did. And
now, I understand, all that material has been removed from their
website. Are they ashamed? They should be. What it leaves me to
believe is this: GRESHAM BOUMA WILL OBEY THE LAW IF HE FEELS IT IS
HIS RELIGIOUS RESPONSIBILITY TO DO SO. IF HE FEELS IT ISN’T, HE IS
PERFECTLY WILLING TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY. Reminds me of a former governor of
Texas who said it wasn’t a lie if there wasn’t a Bible in the
room. I do not want that sort of person representing me in
Boise—Bouma must love Phil Hart, he campaigned with him. So now he’s
willing to tie himself to folks who don’t pay their taxes and steal from
public school children. No, you can’t ask him about any of
that. He refuses to participate in any activity in which he can’t
control the questions. <BR></DIV>

says it all. Bouma didn't show up to the radio call-in show
