Will Legalizing Illegals Help Unemployed? Rep. DeLauro: That's a 'Gotcha Question'
CNS News ^ | July 17, 2014 | Lauretta Brown

When asked by CNSNews.com on Wednesday whether legalizing illegal aliens would help the unemployed in the United States, Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D.-Conn.) countered that that was a “a gotcha question” and declined to answer it.

DeLauro was speaking outside the U.S. Capitol at a rally for the unemployed.

At one time, I didn't think it was possible to find a Democrat female uglier than Helen Thomas ... but now, I'm not so sure.

Ya gotta despise liberals that push for both amnesty and a minimum wage hike. If we hadn't seen so much illegal labor over the years, we wouldn't need a minimum wage hike. Employers would have to pay wages to attract workers instead of having illegals take jobs at wages that cannot support a base American existence.

But liberals never let inherent contradictions bother them. Otherwise, they wouldn't be liberals.

I don’t like making fun of how someone looks. But DeLauro blows away Helen Thomas in this department. There is something strangely attractive in the unmitigated ugliness of Helen Thomas, like one of those hairless cats, or the dog who kept winning the ugly dog competitions. But DeLauro is scary ugly, like her ugliness is the physical manifestation of a very dark soul.

D-Conn. Like the bug spray. Generally, poisonous.

That’s a “gotcha” question. As in, “We gotcha, you lying c#$%”.

In other words, it was on the mark, embarrassing to answer and might expose significant weaknesses in the party line. Yep, you got it and she? ducked it!

DeLauro is a longtime friend of the Communist Party of Connecticut, esp. its leader Joelle Fishman (New Haven).

Lots on DeLauro in Trevor Loudon’s 2013 book “The Enemies Within: Communists, Marxists and Socialist in the US Congress”, www.freepacificfoundation.org.

Besides being a Connecticut red in Congress, she is also available to haunt houses during Halloween.

Dial 1-800-ButtUgly to schedule a haunting.
