National Association of Realtors pimping for repub congressman here in so cal
Just got a crummy trash flyer from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) pimping for repub congressthing ken calvert. Full/front back cover is some guy decked out in a military camo outfit saluting (he's a fake or violating the military code). did you know that unless calvert is reelected the US military is going down the toilet?

another wealthy special interest trying to hang on to its special favors from the republicans.

1. "Short sided business men"- to borrow from Joni. It won't help them in the long run.

2. It'll pay salaries in the meantime
Look at what the CEOs of the banks and Wall St. are pulling down - they want their fair share of OUR money.

3. Those "Now is a good time to buy" commercials drive me nuts. The NAR
were the biggest cheerleaders of the housing bubble for obvious reasons.

4. They sent a questionaire to my wife to fill out.
It took me all of two seconds to see they a front group for developer groups.

She tossed it in trash and didn't bother with the interview.

5. must be another family values repuke...............
"On November 28, 1993, Calvert was caught by a police officer with a prostitute in his car. Calvert was parked on the side of the road, seemingly asleep, when a police officer pulled up behind and spotlit the interior of the vehicle. As the officer approached the vehicle he saw a woman sit upright in the passenger seat. "It appeared as if her head were originally laying in the driver's lap," the officer would write in the police report. The officer observed a woman with wearing unbuttoned and unzipped cut-off jean-shorts and the driver, Calvert, attempt to cover himself up before he put the car in drive and attempted to drive away. After three warnings by the officer Calvert stopped the car. Calvert stated that he was just talking with the woman. The police asked to speak to the woman, Lore Lorena Lindberg, and discovered that she was a convicted prostitute with a heroin problem. Calvert was not charged with any crime."
