Hear Rep. Jay Ramras squirm

Just about everyone agrees Governor Sean Parnell broke the law when he hired sitting legislator Gene Therriault. Despite the consensus, Therriault is refusing to resign and the governor seems to lack the courage to fire him.
What stands out to me is the deafening silence from legislators on the scandal. We had two legislators on the show yesterday. But Rep. Charisse Millett and Rep. Jay Ramras had two very different reactions to one of their former colleagues being illegally hired.
Click on the audio link below to hear the different reactions.
Treadwell didn't take a position either Dan. Why not post his audio side-by-side with Ramras?
Treadwell's response wasn't much better.
Joe Miller did the same thing today on Dave Stieren's show. That is, he waffled, I don't understand this, why not just call a spade a spade.
Joe didn't do the same thing as Ramras.
For the past two months there has been a determined effort by some parties, Dan among them, to try to draw Joe Miller into the gubernatorial fight.
Did anyone ask Lisa Murkowski her opinion of this latest gubernatorial race scandal? NO. Nobody did.
Joe didn't jump to the commentator's tune because he's already been burned by talk show hosts who are obviously trying to involve him in the gubernatorial race issues instead of respecting him and respecting the office he is seeking.
All these "news" and "views" personalities like Dan and Dave need to be fair and keep things straight if they want to grow their credibility instead of diminishing it. We want to hear Joe Miller's opinions on things like ANWR and Obamacare and Cap and Trade and Wallstreet Reform. We don't give a fig who he votes for for Alaska Governor.
We give a "fig" when he talks about wanting to reduce taxes and the size of government, yet won't speak out against Palin's ACES windfall profit tax.
It's also crazy that Joe Miller has Palin's face and name on his homepage... she's the earmark queen of Wasilla! And no one increased taxes and grew government like Palin.
He thinks we're idiots. I find him insulting.
on this? After listening to Ramras, I will not vote for him.
