Chris Peden making a speech saying that: "Ron Paul voted against shortening the waiting period to get a firearm."

Because a short waiting period is still a waiting period, and unConstutional.



also says that "Ron Paul voted against lawsuit reform that would have disallowed someone to sue a gun manufacturer in the event that gun was used in a a crime...He voted agianst protecting gun manufacturers from those lawsuits, twice."

Because there's nothing Constitutional about that legislation.

yeah RP will NOT compromise, NO compromise... thin end of a wedge

QFT--unlike the NRA and this Peden fellow, I'm sure.

I certainly hope and pray that the 14th district has a plan for a good replacement lined up.

Congressman Paul has shocked and angered alot of people in the GOP with his vote to support democrats in their efforts to wage a "slow bleed" attack against our Commander In Chief in a time of war. The resolution, if it passes is designed to be a very slow process of defeat and will endanger our troops even more than just pulling out now.

In the war on terror, defeat is NOT an option!

Chris Peden would eb the perfect replacement for Dr. Paul!

I recently was introduced to Mr. Peden and his wife at a meeting in Washington at the White House. He has a heart of compassion and strong desire to help others through public service work. He could represent the area well.
— By J. Enis on Feb. 15 at 6:20 PM


I hope it is true! In this local area, Chris Peden has earned a name for himself as a man of integrity, courage, and compassion. He would prove a formidable opponent!
— By Ken Gurley on Feb. 15 at 6:39 PM


Peden would be a perfect choice - He has kept his word to the voters and hasn't given false promices just to be elected.
— By Mike Czarowitz on Feb. 15 at 6:46 PM


I've known Chris for a number of years and in my opinion he would be the ideal Republican candidate for the possible opening in the 14th district. He's a successful businessman, good family man, consistant in conservative values and has demonstrated a results oriented approach on the Friendswood City Council.
— By Ben Whitsett on Feb. 15 at 6:57 PM


Chris Peden will be an outstanding replacement for Dr. Paul. Chris is an indefatigable worker and strong supporter of conservative values. Chris is an exemplary human being. He is kind, generous, selfless and is genuine in his desire to serve the public.
— By Madonna Crame on Feb. 15 at 7:07 PM


Chris Peden is a genuine person. He truly cares about people and wants to make a difference in the world. He is a loving family man and a valued and highly respected member of our community. Chris Peden is also very honest, generous and highly competent. I trust his decisions, and I know that he will always support the best interests of his constituents.
— By Kirsten Crame on Feb. 15 at 9:34 PM


Chris Peden is interested in doing what's best for his constituents. His voice and consistent leadership extends well beyond the City of Friendswood boundries. He is an excellent choice to fill the District 14 seat when it is vacated by Congressman Ron Paul.
— By Douglas Moore on Feb. 15 at 9:57 PM


The people of District 14 will have a voice of compassion, a vote of competence and a man of committment with Chris Peden in Washington.
— By Timothy Johnson on Feb. 16 at 7:33 AM


As a new member of the Friendswood community, I have found Chris to be a man of his word and a straight shooter to the residents of this city. Chris would be an excellent choice to represent conservative values.
— By Jay Jenkins on Feb. 16 at 9:48 AM


Chris Peden is an individual who truly defines what a conservative politician is. He has demonstrated that he will stand solid for the best interest of his constituents regardless if it fails to fall rank and file with the rest of the politicians. Remember it was the tax payers of Friendswood who got a got a refund.
Chris stands true to his word and always reflects a true conservative. He does not speak to appease in order to get votes. This country needs more politicians like Chris.

Chris Peden would make a great congressman! He has done a great job for his constituents while serving on Friendwood City Council. They have found him to be a man of character - one who serves their interests with integrity. Chris would be a welcome addition to the halls of Congress and would represent this region well!
— By Darren Shelton on Feb. 16 at 2:19 PM


Chris Peden is a man of integrity with a sincere and honest voice for conservative values. He speaks and lives what he believes and will be a tremendous representative in Washington. How wonderful it would be to have more people like Chris in Washington.
— By Jim Kilgore on Feb. 16 at 3:08 PM


Ron Paul is a Libertarian and all Republicans need to be clear about what this really means. He does not support the war on terror or other things we do.

Chris Peden is a Republican. He supports the war on terror AND he supports the moral platform of the Republican Party as well.

There's more to a Republican then just cutting taxes, but Chris Peden has also served the Friendswood Taxpayers well in this arena: He has voted to cut our city taxes and supported us receiving a 2005 Tax Rebate.

Chris Peden is a Republican both fiscally and morally. He would have my vote if he runs for Paul's position.
— By Deborah Winters Chaney on Feb. 16 at 5:31 PM


Chris Peden has shown to be a true conservative in every sense of the word. He will make a fine congressman and will serve his country well.
— By Rocky Jones on Feb. 17 at 6:42 AM


I have know Chris in both a professional and personal capacity for over 10 years now, and have always found him a to be a man of his word. He certainly has my vote of confidence.
— By S Sanjana on Feb. 20 at 10:48 AM


Chris Peden can get the job done! He is a man of determination, and he has many great ideas. He is both a dreamer and a doer. He truely cares about everyone around him even if he does not know that person. The world needs more people like Chris.
— By Steven Bache on Feb. 22 at 3:42 PM


I've know Chris for nearly 20 years, and I would whole-heartedly support him for a leadership position in this country. I believe he is the type of individual that the founding fathers would endorse also. Conserative, Christian, pro-America and enough resolve to do what is right no matter what the "public opinion" is. He has got my vote!
— By David Clement on Feb. 25 at 7:47 AM
 
Are those comments for real?

Conserative, Christian (s**t) , pro-America

In the war on terror, defeat is NOT an option!

are they totally brainwashed or they just been idiots? 0.0
 
hahahaha.. No, I would wager they are ALL from teh same person or two.. hahahah..

Start posting PRO RON PAUL comments. These knuckleheads need to realize that this war is NOT a republican agenda, but a special interest agenda.

THAT PAGE IS ALMOST A YEAR OLD!!!!

Chris is in for a big surprise.

Why would you say that? He raised twice as much as Ron Paul.... HA! This is AWESOME! (150k of the 174k was a loan from himself! -- 16k more came from family -- that leaves 8 THOUSAND DOLLARS, or 4.6%, actually "raised" from non family!)

Chris Peden's Cash Redux

True to its monthly cyclical expectations, the herd over at the Church of Dan has been flopping all over itself for the better part of the day in a self-feeding frenzy of hits on Presidential long-shot and favorite KSEV punching bag Ron Paul. They range from the usual innuendo in which Paul is said to enjoy the company of "racist/bigotted/anti-semite/homophobic/(your ad here) scumbags" to this critique wherein a commentator expresses an inordinately bitter offense at the loins that produced an obscure anti-tax pamphleteer who has recently aligned with the Paul camp. The most amusing by far though is an unusual attempt by the Lone Star Times crowd to promote the reputed fundraising prowess of The Honorable Chris Peden, the boy genius of Friendswood City Council who seems to believe that he can unseat Paul from his congressional seat by singlehandedly purchasing hundreds of dollars in banner ads on...well...the Lone Star Times.

While ostensibly undertaking a correction of the mathematically inept Houston Chronicle, author David Benzion has another purpose in mind - to show, as he puts it after repeatedly reminding his readers that Peden first attained his Honorability with the backing of KSEV, that
Peden has twice as much money Cash-On-Hand as Paul, no?​
He is referencing, of course, the $143,949.92 that Peden reported "on hand" at the end of last year's 4th reporting quarter. This figure naturally seems like an impressive haul, and numerically it is considering that Peden finished the prior quarter with a stunning $363 in the bank. So where did this sudden cash influx come from? Another pundit from Dan-Land attempts to explain:
Read Peden's report yourself, and you can see exactly where the money came from. I’m sorry to say you’ll be disappointed, unless you consider people like a CPA, an orthodontist and a pastor to be “corporate masters.” It’s also interesting to note that all of Peden’s money is local — it comes from towns like Houston, Friendswood and Crosby.
This intriguing take appears aside a critique of the Chronicle's shoddy reporting standards, but a closer look reveals much more in common than a simple coinciding placement. You see, the majority of Chris Peden's cash haul from the last quarter, and to be specific $150,424.49 out of $174,750.80 raised (of which $143,949.92 remain unexpended on banner ads), did not simply come from "local" addresses in towns like Friendswood. It came from one single address in Friendswood: 1878 Flat Rock Street, as in the abode of the candidate himself.

One "William Chris Peden" of 1878 Flat Rock Street, as in the Honorable Mayor Pro Tem of Friendswood, also happens to be the aforementioned CPA who keeps donating to the Chris Peden for Congress campaign. Let's take a look at what this "man of the people" has managed to give himself:

Donor:
William Chris Peden
Peden & Associates, LLP
CPA

Carry-over loan balance - $14,428.02

4th Quarter loans from Chris Peden to Chris Peden -
10/01/2007 - $129.33
10/04/2007 - $21.61
10/06/2007 - $99.86
10/11/2007 - $1,000.00
11/29/2007 - $12,000.00
11/30/2007 - $18,000.00
12/07/2007 - $59,875.00
12/10/2007 - $20,000.00
12/31/2007 - $25,000.00

Grand Total: $150,424.49

Of the remaining actual donations from persons other than the Honorable Chris Peden himself, approximately half came from his relatives, Messrs. Bill Peden, also of Peden and Associates, and Greg Peden, of the Alvin Chevron station each gave the maximum allowable donation of $4,600. Ellen and Lois Peden, co-managers of the Hope Village Tea Room. similarly maxed out, bringing the Peden Family's self contributions to a total of $16,100 for the quarter.

That places just over $166,000 of Peden's claimed total haul of $174,000 "in the family."

The moral of the story: when you can't raise more than a couple hundred bucks for your lousy candidacy from the common folks, it never hurts to cut yourself a couple of $25,000 checks. It also helps when the primary recipient of your advertising budget is willing to portray your attempt to buy a seat in Congress as an outpouring of neighborly support for your cause.

UPDATE

Lest there be any doubt about the Lone Star Times' intent to promote Chris Peden's artificial fundraising prowess, an astute reader informs us of the following original title to their article from its placement on google cache:
CHRIS PEDEN, CONGRESSIONAL CHALLENGER TO RON PAUL, REPORTS TWICE AS MUCH CASH ON HAND​

What are pedenphiles? :confused:

Take a guess. Paul's opponent is Chris Peden, who seems to have 15-20 hardcore supporters pimping him all throughout the internet.....and yet he can't raise more than a couple of thousand dollars from the people.

I prefer "pedenmites".
