I give you (and you can have her) Rep. Julia Carson, D-IN. Even my wife votes against her.
Blackfive has a piece up on HR 4323 against which the Dishonrable Mrs. Carson voted in lockstep with most of her Black Caucus butt buddies.
This bill would actually make it easier to get needed supplies shipped out to our boys in the field. It does not increase the budget and it does not decrease accountability; the money is already allocated and accountability is perhaps even more stringent than it would be otherwise. Blackfive suggests that since the bill is currently seeing more trouble in the Senate than in the House, you may want to contact your Senators.
Blackfive asks,
[D]o these Representatives who voted against or abstained from voting care so much more about giving Minority Owned Businesses contracts (as Miniter suggests) rather than help our troops in harm’s way?
Sounds like it to me. But what do I know.
I’m tellin’ ya, every congresscritter now serving need to be marched out on the East Steps and shot. Then we hold elections. Then we shoot every new congresscritter that we just elected. Then we hold elections again, and MAYBE we get reps and sens who understand that they need to be accountable to the people.
I am NOT kidding about this. Anyone who WANTS to serve in Congress should automatically be disqualified from holding public office. It should be an honor and a duty — NOT a fucking career.
