Behaving like the greedy thieves that they are, the House of Representatives, the body with a REPUBLICAN majority, under the cover of darkness, pickpocketed each and every one of us and stole a little bit of our constitutionally protected rights. Shays-Meehan aka the Incumbent Protection Act of 2002 aka The Large Media Monopoly Empowerment act passed the house, by a margin of 240-189. 46 Republicans voted for this, including Shelly Moore-Capito, a representative from my home state. She is the daughter of the convicted crook and former Governor of WV, Arch Moore, so I should have expected this. Shelly, if you are reading this, I am taking back the congratulatory note I wrote you last year.
Two special notes:
1.) Voters of S.C.- Lindsey Graham said: “I’m willing to pay a price in having my friends mad at me.” With special interests giving millions of dollars to the political parties, he said, “you’ll never convince me it doesn’t affect legislation.”
He wants to be your Senator.
2.) I am not voting for a Republican again in a long while. I don’t give two hoots in hell if I am one of 8 votes for Harry Browne or whoever the libertarian candidate is. One of those 8 votes will be mine.
Now it is time to watch the disgusting bastards pass this enormous budget. After all, they are ‘fiscal conservatives.’
Our only hope lies with Mitch McConnell and his band of renegade Constitutionalists in the Senate. Bring on the filibuster.
