Josh Painter

Registered: 2 years, 0 months.

Biography:

Josh Painter was born in Louisiana and grew up there and in Houston, TX in the 50s and 60s. He has a degree in broadcast journalism and worked in that business for twenty years. Disgusted with media bias, he changed careers and was an Information Technology professional for another twenty years until his recent retirement. A long-time Democrat until “Reagan and Rush changed my way of thinking,” Josh became politically active when he got involved in the Draft Fred Thompson grassroots movement. He began blogging for Fred and was managing six blogs at once, including the now-inactive Fredipedia.com. Josh currently has three Blogger blogs and is a RedState.com contributor. Josh enjoys restoring classic motorcyles and listening to jazz, country and southern rock music.
