Category: Politicians Suck

Remember Tonya Paine?  Well, now we suburbanite gun owners need to be reigned in because we can’t stop ourselves from coming into their fair city to trade our guns for smack:

“We have a lot of suburbanites that come into this city carrying their arms and they trade them off for these stamp bags of heroin,” said Payne. “Let’s call a spade a spade. People don’t want to hear the truth.”

I’ve never even seen a stamp bag of herion, let alone ever traded a gun for one.  I mean, accusing people of not wanting to hear the truth?  Pot, meet kettle.

Waxman as Bat Boy?  I can believe it.

Tam is overqualified for public office based on her results from this Civic Literacy Test, which apparently our elected officials did not so well on.  I scored 33 out of 33, so I’m clearly not destained for public office either.  I’ll have to try hard to reduce my competence if I want to have a future in politics.

Apparently some GOP governors are getting pissy because they think Palin is stealing the spotlight which, of course, rightly belongs to them!  OK GOP governors, it’s time to put on your big boy pants, and stop stomping around in a hissy fit.  If you want media attention, because you want to run for President or something, then run against her in the primary.  It’s how the system is supposed to work.

How the hell are we ever going to defeat Progressives when we have this whiny bunch as the ones who are supposed to show us the way?  God help us.

Looks like Barack Obama’s entire transition platform, including the new assault weapons ban, and various other infringements, has, for now, disappeared down the memory hole.  We do not know of this change of which you speak.  I notice the national service initiative is still up, and I can’t imagine the transition mavens haven’t been taking negative feedback on that.  Does this mean that involuntary servitude will be this administration’s new top priority?

Welcome to politics President Elect Obama.  I sincerely hope you aren’t planning on quitting smoking over the next four years.  I think you’re going to find ruling over 300 million unruly, cantankerous Americans is going to be a whole lot harder than being the Senator from Chicago who wants to run for President.  It’s only going to get harder from here.  I’m sure you’ll be doing your part keep the economy of North Carolina chugging, Mr. President.  But don’t fret, you did win that state by a pretty narrow margin.

House Democrats are eyeing eliminating 401K contributions, and mandating that 5% of our pay go into a retirement account run by the Social Security Administration.

They’ve got to be kidding me!  Is this change I can believe in?  The Republicans might suck, but the Democrats are seriously out to make everyone a ward of the state.  Dr. Helen’s John Galt scenario is looking better all the time.

They can have my 401K when they pry it from my cold, dead account statement.

A bill that’s bound to limit economic growth by increasing energy prices in the Commonwealth.

Jack Murtha says Western Pennsylvanians are racist.  Wyatt lays out exactly where Lynn Swann’s locus of support was.  I would note, that Jack Murtha’s district is the 12th, which is mostly in the southwest corner of the state, which went Rendell.  Maybe people in your district are racist, Jack, but Western Pennsylvania pretty overhwelmingly went for Swann.
