You can see the stupid Gambit post here.

Mother Jones throws down with David Vitter

Here is my response.

Fist of all is this Journalism?

“Instead of coming up with serious measures to save the economy, the party intends to devote its time to an “we told you so” agenda that will include GOP-only hearings on the bill’s impact in the coming months to highlight the bill’s purportedly wasteful elements and shortcomings.”

Cause it sounds like an opinion. I am a Libertarian so I don't care if the Republicans get their feelings hurt but I saw the president say in his "so called" press conference where he picked the questions in advance that he heard the Republican plans and they were the same old Tax cuts that never work. "We have tried that" he said. So it is not that the Republicans don't have any plans it's that the liberals in the press don't like them. And they are providing political cover for the president and the democrats.

Congressional vote records online now.

This site lets you browse every vote in the U.S. Congress since 1991. It's on the menu now under research.

The Washington Post has a useful Web tool that allows readers to track Congressional votes and sort them by a number of factors: party, state/territory, region, “boomer status” (okaaay), gender…

…and astrological sign. Seriously.

WashPo breakdown of votes by the zodiac.

What does it all mean? Mysterious. And why would the Post bother to sort Congressional votes by horoscope? Even more mysterious. Guess I’m just a skeptical Capricorn

The Gambit reported this to me via Twitter and they don't seem to get it. The lid is starting to crack on the lid of control of the people via information. I can tell you the congress doesn't have a clue about how this is going to work against thier political intrest.

When you here about people drowning down here again one day you can thank dangerously stupid self appointed Community leaders like this woman. You can bet she is in the pay of Rainbow push or some other organization that profits from concentration camps for poor people.

N.O. woman blasts 'code word' for poor

By JOE GYAN JR.
Orleans bureau
Published: Sep 15, 2006

BELLE CHASSE — A discussion about not duplicating preKatrina “concentrations of poverty” when New Orleans’ ravaged rental stock is rebuilt raised the temperature Thursday during a Louisiana Recovery Authority mmeeting.While

authority members and authority Executive Director Andy KKopplinwere discussing two “Road Home” rental housing programs and an accompanying objective of not replicating what a Road Home handout called “prestorm excessive concentrations of poverty,” New OrleanianElizabeth Cook sprang to her feet and gave the board an eearful. Cook who lives in the city’s Bywaterarea, yelled out from the audience at the Belle ChasseAuditorium. She said not repeating concentrations of poverty is a “code word” for keeping New Orleans’ displaced poor from returning to the ccity.Norman

Francis, authority chairman and president of Xavier University of New Orleans, cut Cook off but said she would be allowed to speak to the board once it wrapped up its discussion. When that time came, Cook sat at a table in front of the board and described the rental housing program as “so unfair.”

“What you’re saying is certain people can’t come home. Let’s be honest here. It’s shameful,” she said. “What you’re saying is concentration of poverty is a crime. It’s OK for the rich to live in concentrations. The working poor need somewhere to live, too. People need somewhere to come home. You’re not fighting for the people.”

Francis took exception to her remarks.

“We’re trying to get everybody home under quality conditions and under conditions that everyone can afford,” he ssaid.Authority member and state Sen. Diana Bajoie D-New Orleans, said during the meeting that the authority program is a “good one” but added, “We can’t close all the housing developments and expect everyone to come home.”

In a report issued last week, the New Orleans-based Bureau of Governmental Research — a nonprofit, independent research group — raised concerns about the Road Home rental housing program, warning it would “create new problems and exacerbate existing weaknesses in the city.”

The bureau said the rental program harnesses $1.7 billion of Gulf Opportunity Zone low income housing tax credits and $1.6 billion of Community Development Block Grants for the construction or rehabilitation of rental housing. It earmarks $869 million of block grant funds for repair of small rental properties willing to accept rent restrictions for periods of three to 20 years. It layers the balance of block grant funds on the tax credits to produce rental housing for work force and low-income hhouseholds.The

The program, as conceived, would have provided housing for low-income households in the context of classic mixed income development, which combine low income subsidized housing with market rate housing, the bureau said but under a revised plan, the group said, the bulk of the units for low-income households would be incorporated instead into 100 percent low-income housing tax credit developments.

Tancredo Slams Administration for Arrest of Bounty Hunter Duane “Dog” Chapman

Questions Who is Calling Shots at Justice Department; Mexico or U.S.

Washington, DC – U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Littleton) criticized Attorney General Alberto Gonzales in a letter to the Justice Department in the wake of media reports yesterday that the U.S. Marshals raided the Hawaii home of Duane “Dog” Chapman at the direction of the Mexican government.

A spokeswoman for the Marshals Office confirmed yesterday that an arrest warrant was signed Wednesday by a federal magistrate in Hawaii at the urging of the administration. Chapman could now be extradited to to face criminal charges for successfully capturing Max Factor heir Andrew Luster in Puerto Vallarta in 2003. Luster, who was wanted in the for rape is now serving a 124-year sentence.

“This Administration routinely tells Congress that they cannot secure our borders and immigration system due to a lack of resources. We are told that the U.S. Attorneys offices in Border States are simply overwhelmed with cases and cannot prosecute all the violations – even serious ones,” said Tancredo.

“Somehow this administration has plenty of time to track down a Mexican drug smuggler and give him immunity so he can testify against our Border Patrol agents,” said Tancredo referring to the prosecution of two Border Patrol agents facing 20 years in prison for wounding a Mexican smuggler during the course of their normal duties earlier this year.

“Americans are apparently supposed to happily accept presence the roughly 100,000 criminal aliens inside our borders – a number that is growing every year – while the Marshals use their resources to track down ‘Dog’ Chapman on orders from a foreign master for successfully brining a convicted rapist to justice.”

“It is becoming increasingly clear that the real problem with this administrations inability to address the failures of U.S. border security policy is not so much a lack of resources as it is one of misplaced priorities,” concluded Tancredo, “I’m beginning to wonder who is in charge of prioritizing assignments at DOJ. Is it this administration – or the one in Mexico City ?”
