Jason Brown was a street sweeper in Platte City (pop: 4,901) prior to becoming elected as a state representative, which is a nothing position anyway ... like being leader of the geeks.
Jason Brown is a staff sergeant in the U.S. Army Reserves, which does not qualify him to speak about a national candidate's competence regarding national military policy.
Brown is, like Jeff Roe, just another ignorant provincial from northwest Missouri who is probably a step or two away from aligning with the American Skinhead movement, if even a step away.
By the way, Jason, how did you like your 60 days of convalescent leave -- campaigning at home -- when the non-political grunts only get 30 days of convalescent or have to convalesce in theater or at a MACOM hospital?
Waste, fraud and abuse ...
On Republicans weigh in on Obama military backing
Wouldn't it be sensible to locate a National Guard air wing at a major air force installation, like the Kansas Guard has done at McConnell AFB with the Kansas Guard refueler wing? There are more Air Force assets consolidated at the larger AFB location, and it just makes sense. Pork barreling aside, the military is in business to be efficient and maximize resources, not serve as an employment service to rural America.
That's very poetic Sam Graves being "worried" about the possible relocation of the 139th Airlift Wing away from St. Joseph. Graves has never served in any capacity in any branch of the military or its reserve components. Graves also consistently votes against federal legislation to improve veterans' benefits.

Jason Brown is not an authority on anything.
Sorry, Jason, being a street sweeper in a second-rate wannabe town like Platte City and owning a couple of failed construction companies doesn't make you qualified to speak for anybody except the 2,000 Rebublican loyalists in Platte City who vote the party line every election.
Some corrupt Army leadership allowed Brown to take 60 days of convalescent leave, instead of the 30 days most troops get, so he could come home to Platte City and campaign right before the election. Brown was drawing his full active duty pay and allowance the entire time -- waste, fraud and abuse of the taxpayers.
Brown is a staff sergeant in the Army Reserves, in a civil affairs unit, which does not make him qualified to speak about tactics and strategy at the theater level.
Incidentally, after Brown's supposed bullet in his left lung, he was out and about walking around and acting normal the next day. Does that justify 60 days of convalescent leave?
Brown never would produce the copies of his X-rays the media requested, and were told they would receive, in order to quell speculative rumors Brown was making it up just to come home to campaign.

On Political notebook: Brown proves forceful voice for McCain
Oh, wonderful! Farmers City Wind Project has the physical capacity to act as a counterforce against the copious volumes of hot air blown from the mouth of Sam Graves and his family members in Tarkio and the other Republican blowhards of NW Missouri. Just ask the lone physics major who graduated from Missouri universities last year. Taxpayers, beware! Sam "The Sham" Graves and his RNC trogs in D.C. have probably written legislation so that Graves receives hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars of taxpayers' money in exchange for being one of the 50 landowners providing land for the Spanish wind power project. Viva los dolares! I-yi-yi, arriba arriba!

The reason Sam Graves always ALWAYS agrees, in eager beaver fashion, with the monumental failure Dubya administration is Graves doesn't care deeply enough nor think hard enough to have any initiatives of his own. Graves is the ultimate head-nodding party hack. Graves can smugly veto legislation written to protect kids because the only kids he has any feeling for are his own. Graves' very short tenure in the U.S. House needs to be terminated as soon as possible.
On Senators, Barnes laud SCHIP
McBush (John McCain) offers yet more of the same sorry, unworkable, biased big guvment that Dubya has failed with the past 8 years. It's sad to hear Sam Graves is in St. Paul rubbing elbows and blowing kisses to the GOP national leadership when he should be in northwest Missouri and Washington, D.C. (and commuting between the two) getting some legitimate real work done. Eager head-nodding to the Dubya administration and cowtowing to rich people, not his constituents, fully describe Sam Graves' utter lack of leadership during his brief tenure in the U.S. House. It's also a bit trite to hear Missouri Republican compliment John McCain, when they haven't been able to stand him the past 8 years.
On Area GOP confident before St. Paul
It's humorous Sam Graves attempting to posture himself as the champion of small business. Graves has blindly gone along with the George W. Bush administration on every federal initiative that has hurt small businesses and the common workers. The only small business Sam Graves cares about are the corn and biodiesel fuels incentives bills at the federal level which have made him and his personal agriculture operations more well-heeled. At the state level, Graves' buddy John Quinn, state rep. in Chillicothe, has pushed the same self-serving corn and biodiesel incentives legislation. Graves and Quinn are the biggest self-serving crooks in northwest and north central Missouri.
