He not only mouthed off on Kobe but on Obama....(from wikipedia)
"Upon hearing that U.S. President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize on October 9, 2009, Chaffetz said he had "lost all respect for the award", claiming "it used to be one of distinction, but [now] it is hard to give it any credibility".[14]"
Who does he respect?
He was a Democrat until he met Reagan, then turned Republican. Obvious case of a professional politician. Speaking now just to make noise. I heard a tree fell in the forest. It didn't make nay noise.
Karen Hyer resides in the Third Congressional district, in Provo, Utah. She brings a wealth of experience to help her address the problems assailing our nation.
She began her career teaching junior high school, something that led her to pursue a doctorate and a teaching and research position at one of the nation’s foremost medical centers. There she taught leadership and health policy.
After over a decade, she left teaching at the university to raise her three sons on a family farm where she managed an extensive hunting and ranching operation while also operating a consulting business that worked aiding small businesses across the nation through the Small Business Administration and local Chambers of Commerce.
It was there on the family ranch that she took up the cause of small family farmers as a lead plaintiff against the federal government, winning a rare victory for both the environment and family farmers.
This case and the victory led her to pursue a law degree specializing in environmental and Constitutional law, after which she was invited to teach ethics at Brigham Young University’s Marriott School of Management.
Since that time over twenty years ago she has made Provo her home, teaching at Brigham Young University and being involved in numerous international assignments, including teaching business and U.S. Constitutional law in China, a place where she helped found a top law school and an internationally renowned women’s institute to address problems of rural poverty. Of note, during her years of service in China, Karen was one of a select group of foreign legal experts who aided in developing the first code of commercial contract law in the history of China.
Karen Hyer is married to Paul Van Hyer, professor emeritus of BYU
Oh and Before my blogpost gets spammed by Chaffetz's goonies here is their standard response to any nay say about him:
"Jason getting things done
Rep. Jason Chaffetz has been fighting for
* Fiscal Discipline
* Limited Government
* Accountability
* Strong National Defense
Chaffetz has sponsored over a dozen bills, original co-sponsored under 100 and co-sponsored hundreds of others. He shows up to vote. I don't know if he has missed more than 1 surprise vote all year.
He had 310 in the house vote in favor of an amendment re: whole body scans, it passed the house and is in the senate. I know of one bill Jason started that signed by Obama. Others are now in the senate.
Not only is he making waves, he is decreasing government waste. He is standing up for traditional families.
I am glad he is running for re-election. We need more like him."
No. Lets vote him out!
