  2. WARNING: Apparently Brad Little, the IACI puppet and from the good old boy school of lock down governing, is considering a third term to continue being a mediocre at best Governor.

    Probably because the good old boys have finally figured out that Despot Bekde does not stand a chance.

    SOLUTION: It’s time to start rallying behind, encouraging and supporting Raul Labrador to run and win the election for Governor.

    1. You support Raul, the guy that is part of one of the largest real estate development families in Idaho?

    2. Now there is a name and an individual that I would throw my personal support behind…absolutely. While I haven’t necessarily agreed with 100% of every decision he’s made since in his position, the overwhelming majority of them I have, no question.

      Integrity in the governor’s office in Idaho…it’s what is needed. Mr. Labrador would, I believe, provide that. Labrador for governor of Idaho…!!!
