Yes you did, you said they all do it for politics not principle. I know for a fact that there are many principled conservatives up there who contradict your characterization.

“but everything is based on the politics of it.”
wrong. Look at Rep Broun’s 4 principles.

Forbes is also my rep. I contacted his office just recently regarding the pay raise. His response was timely and satisfactory.

Like I posted on the other thread, Rush says Heath Shuler had to “get permission” from Pelosi to vote no. I do not think I am ready to thank a man who is only concerned with his next election. He notoriously shows up late to make a “token” dissenter’s vote when it does not matter.

They were probably told by Nancy Pelosi to do this to protect themselves in the next election.

good point.
the next-best thing that can happen to the USA is for Pelosi to be defeated in 2010

I called today to thank him; I had called yesterday to ask that he vote against it. I have no doubt that his ONLY reasons for voting against it were that his office was bombarded with calls prior to the vote, and that Nancy Pelosi granted him permission to go against it in hopes of keeping alive a re-election bid in 2010.

I wouldn’t say he’s a communist. He’s just a power hungry thief who is out to get as much as he can for himself and his family at taxpayers’ expense, and supports Socialism merely as a way of advancing himself.

He's past the age of advancing himself. He's a communist :-)

Taylor was also one of only five Democrats who voted to impeach Bill Clinton. He’s been a DINO for years.

These two definitely need to be taken out of our budget:

$50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts, which recently spent $95,000 for the American Ballet Theatre in New York City; $300,000 to restore an outdoor sculpture collection in Miami, Florida; and $190,000 for various artistic endeavors in San Francisco, CA;

# $335 million for STD Education and Prevention, such as the CDC's transgender beauty pageant to advertised HIV testing, and an STD awareness event that taught participants how "to flirt with greater finesse;"

Art needs to be paid for by private individuals and companies.

As for the second - We have absolutely NO business funding this junk.

And, there are more like them that we never see.

Allen Boyd (Rat-FL) regularly asks and gets permission from his dominatrix Pelosi to vote against their caucus when the outcome is a sure thing. When push comes to shove and the vote is in doubt, he votes the party line.

This is why the Republicans need to hold their ground and all vote against that porker spending bill. Force as many dimwitts to show their true colors as possible.

In the senate, Snow and the other two need to be kicked out of the republican party. They do more damage than good.
