Big Congressional District 1 Debate. Rob Bishop's FatAss to be Kicked by Peter Clemens on 10/17/16

We're guessing Dr. Peter Clemens has 30 IQ points over Dumb Rob Bishop. Additionally, and unlike Bishop, Clemens isn't pocketing $millions in donations for selling off off Utah's natural resources to America's greedy billionaires.

Great news: A 1st Congressional District Debate between crooked Rep. Rob Bishop and honest Dr. Peter Clemens is set for Monday, October 17th at Weber State University in the Val A. Browning Center Austad Auditorium;  Here's the scoop, Peeps.  Check it out:

At one point, as Trump was groping blindly across the minefields of foreign policy, losing a foot here and a leg there, he announced, apropos of nothing, that “I think my strongest asset, maybe by far, is my temperament.” Clinton smiled sweetly and exclaimed, “Whew, okay!” The audience at Hofstra University, sternly instructed to remain silent throughout the debate, ignored the rules and burst into laughter.
They were laughing at you, Donald, not with you."\
Update 9/27/16 3:50 p.m. Oh Shite. This sucks, eh fellow Republicans?

Standard-Examiner: The Weber County Commission Debate Matters

Dang right "this debate matters," Weber County voters

Via the Standard Examiner:
To provide a forum for candidates to inform Weber County residents about where they stand on the issues, the Olene S. Walker Institute of Politics & Public Service at Weber State University is partnering with the Weber County League of Women Voters and the Standard-Examiner to hold a debate between the two Republican candidates for Weber County Commissioner, Caitlin Gochnour and Jim Harvey. Greg Halling, Standard-Examiner executive editor, will moderate the exchange.
The public is invited to the free event at 6:30 p.m. May 26 in Hurst Center Dumke Legacy Hall on WSU’s Ogden campus. If you have questions, contact Carla Price cprice@weber.edu/801-626-6252.
Here's the full SE story, folks:
Dang rights "this debate matters," people. The essential question is whether the corrupt GOP convention system will shove another "good old boy" down the Weber County lumpencitizens' throats, or alternatively, whether the smart, and politically dedicated Caitlin Gochnour, with eight years' proven experience on the Ogden City Council, will succeed in overturning the current County Commission logjam against an unproven political newcomer..

Caitlin Gochnour
Jim Harvey

Mark your calenders, folks, and plan to be in attendance..

This is bound to be a great debate, wethinks... perhaps the most important debate of the 2016 General Election Season, wethinks!
