Congress at Work (sic)
Congress.org presents: MEGAVOTE for January 8, 2013
In this MegaVote for Georgia's 13th Congressional District:
Recent Congressional Votes –
- House: Establishing the Rules of the House
- House: Hurricane Sandy Relief Suspension
Recent House Votes:
Establishing the Rules of the House
Vote Passed (228-196, 5 Not Voting)
After electing the Speaker, the next order of business in organizing the House is traditionally establishing the rules for that Congress. This is typically a prosaic piece of business, but there were several controversial items in the rules package this year. The resolution reauthorizes the Houses Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group to continue litigation defending the Defense of Marriage Act in the court system. It also authorizes the Oversight Committee to continue its civil action against Attorney General Eric Holder over documents related to the Fast and Furious gun walking scandal. The last controversial provision concerns the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), a panel created by the 2010 health care overhaul to look for ways to lower health care costs. As envisioned in the health care bill, Congress would automatically vote on the panels recommendations; under the rules of the House in the new Congress, it will not be possible to consider those recommendations. The House passed a bill last March to repeal IPAB outright (Roll Call Number 126). It is worth noting that President Obama has not made any nominations to the panel, so it currently has no members and therefore no ability to make recommendations. Democrats attempted to revise the package twice, first with inclusion of a study regarding the voting rights of delegates from the U.S. territories and Puerto Rico, and later with legislative language to create national early voting. Both efforts were voted down.
Rep. David Scott voted NOIt is good that they are going to continue with the pursuit of Eric Holder, there is little doubt that the man was involved early in the process, if not the design, and certainly perjured himself claiming to be unaware of the program. It is doubtful that anything real will come of the endeavor but Holder deserves to have a long excruciating pain in the ass from it.
Hurricane Sandy Relief Suspension
Vote Passed (354-67, 8 Not Voting)
Speaker Boehner caused no small amount of indignation when he adjourned the House at the end of the last Congress without taking up a relief package for victims of Hurricane Sandy. The delay caused the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to approach its borrowing limit, necessitating this suspension bill to raise the programs borrowing authority by $9.7 billion. The Senate passed the bill by voice vote later in the day. Boehner has pledged that the remainder of the roughly $60 billion in aid would be considered in the House January 15.
Rep. David Scott voted YES
I am not sure what to think of this little uproar. The hurricane damage was certainly real and as far as I know no physical relief was ever denied. That Christie would bitch slap Congress over the timing appears to be posturing for the next election. That the President and the Senate is now looking to load pork into the $60,000,000,000.00 package is hardly surprising. Why pass up an opportunity to grow the government bureaucracy?

They Told Me If I Voted for Romney …
I could not agree with this more with Mr. McCain. The Federal government had a great deal to do with creating the incentives that led banks to issue risky loans. After the bubble burst. The Democrats pounded away on the Republicans blaming Wall Street for doing what they were financially encouraged to do.
For the Democrats it is a win-win-win situation, get constituents in homes they cannot afford taking credit for their magnanimity, create a fiscal crisis that seals two elections Roosevelt-esque style, and create new legislation that allows for greater Federal interference of business in banking.
You have to ask yourself, are that so smart as to devise a plan like that from the start? Or so blindly acting on creating government sponsored charity that all public opinion is bound to fall favorably on their policies.
I think the later.

Having Aborted Common Sense, Babies Should Be Easy For Charlie Crist
Charlie Crist, loses in the Republican primary, loses as an Independent in the General election, now wants to be an official Democrat. I say he has all the credentials, selfish and and most skilled in pandering to the welfare dependent segment of the Florida populace.
Debbie Wasserman-Schultz Has A Point: Having Aborted Common Sense, Babies Should Be Easy For Charlie Crist
As for Wasserman-Schultz, does anybody, anybody at all think that she contributed to the success of the Democrat party this past election?
To me she looks likes a Jewish Chelsea Clinton.
She is proof that Democrats will follow any dingbat that gets thrown out there, as long as they are willing to tell a bunch of hyperbolic lies about Republican candidates and policies.

Gunman killed at Sullivan Central - TriCities.com: News
I do see the logical problems with defense of the 2nd Amendment, but there are related logical problems with the proponents of gun bans. In our country where the right to defend yourself is promised by the Constitution, there will be misuse of that right.
I hear statements by liberals that it is too expensive a burden to place armed guards in public schools, this is resistance to a logical and known solution. And, by the way, an argument that is used on the flip side for nearly every liberal cause known to man, you cannot restrict Food Stamps because there is no price you can place on the worth of a growing child, and so on and so forth.
Some form of the 2nd Amendment will continue to exist despite all of the bullshit rhetoric the left is proposing. For the protection of children, I suggest....

- State supervised training, testing and registration of persons already in the education system and desiring to legally carry forearms in public schools. Periodic testing of approved personnel. Special pay for approved employees.
- Provision for state funding in the event that local school systems does not posses or have the ability or desire to develop required firearm skills.
- Have guards in all public schools.
- Give teachers the right and education to lock down classrooms based on personal condition assessment. (I am aware that some schools have policies contradictory to this).
- Metal detectors at schools entrances. Possibly passive in design for elementary levels.
- Better integration of individual mental health conditions with law enforcement.
- Magnetic identification cards on school entrances for students and teachers. Limited access entrances for parents, visitors and deliveries.
How ! Is That

How!
.jpg)
Elizabeth Warren, fake Indian, false prophet of the educated, sworn in a Senator.
Massachusetts voters been smoking much wampum.
Apparently Democrats will vote for a lying bitch no matter what choice is presented.
At least real Indians have the excuse of being plagued by alcoholism.
Hell, because of the drinking a real Indian probably has fair claim to Ted's seat.
And Kerry, I still don't forgive you for having your governmental thugs cut in front of me in line at Logan.

Why the 2nd Amendment
Being and NRA member, I enjoyed the following editorial from Walter Williams.
Walter Williams: Why the 2nd Amendment
Founding fathers are quoted in a manner that makes clear the intent and purpose of the 2nd Amendment. The following quotation of Alexander Hamilton makes clear that the common position of urban politicians, that the second amendment was intended for militias not individuals is b______t.

"If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no recourse left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government."
Bad Move
On this day in 1788, some 225 years ago, in an action that has once before been attempted to correct, Georgia ratified the Constitution to become the fourth state to enter the union.
There are petitions at advocating secession today, obviously a fool's construct. There can be no separation in a state where the opposing parts are so completely integrated. That is true in all states no matter what the dominant party or belief is.
That the earning half of the country has a valid complaint that they are being persecuted and financially abused, does not matter. We cannot separate ourselves from the liberal leeches of society.

This does not reflect one of my moods, but it is funny...
No matterhow beautiful the woman, somewhere there is a guy that is sick of her crap.
