You have a lot of old dems here who vote conservatively, they just have never changed their party affiliation.

Actually, you still have a bunch of conservative people there who, in order to have the best shot at eliminating the worst candidates, are registered as Democrats. They've no intention of changing their registration status - they know exactly what they're doing.

In some places, "Operation Chaos" has been going on for decades.

Bunch of racists.

What do they have against the Vietnamese, anyway?

Integration? Bah.

Reparations and extortion under the guise of ministry. These rascals will have to account to God one day.

These folks indeed preach ‘the gospel of envy’ and are bigots.

The so called “ministers” weld much more power then Cao could ever hope to have. It's sad.

Tax exempt organizations are not allowed to participate in, let alone lead, overt political activities. In practice it seems this applies only to conservative groups. Going after liberal, minority organizations gets you the racist tag.

Nagin has already said that he will take any money the state doesn't want.

I believe Obama has another, separate pile of "federal aid" (Welfare 2.0) in mind for the "Katrina Zone". Don't know if that or the Porkulus funds can actually be routed directly to the city, though. It *is* a "political subdivision of the State of Louisiana", whether Nagin likes it or not. Perhaps Orleans Parish should secede (I'd drive down to help build the border wall).

I live in Cao’s district. People are very against the pork bill. Even the liberals. Probably it’s just the minority community upset. We have a community forum. The recount rules are too hard. They are just doing this for attention.

“The group is upset over Cao’s two votes”

Upset because of recent votes not in favor of his constiutency?

If this suit works, we’ve got Specter lined up next in the chute.

It is time the right starts playing hardball, like the left has been for a couple decades. Go for the jugular. Go after Acorn, churches involved in politics, destroy reputations, etc. It is the Washington way...but only being played by one side.

An organization called the Louisiana Ministerial Alliance of Churches

An organization by a different race would be classified as a secret society that wears sheets.

A truly racist action against a Yellow Man!

The National Aassociation of All Albinos, (NAAA!) supports all people of color!

I’m sure my mother and father, who have been dead for quite a while, have signed the petition.

“recall newly elected 2nd District Congressman Joseph Cao . . . The group is upset over Cao’s two votes against an economic stimulus package . . . .”

Yeah, that's a deep theological and moral issue that a bunch of “ministers” needs to weigh in on.

so... they want to recall him for voting against “The One”?? is that an impeachable offense yet?

Right now it's just a "faux pas, "to use a bit of French lingo.

Give congress a little more time. They have to pass the " Hush Rush "legislation first, then outlaw any political opposition, a la Chavez in Venezuela.

We’re not talking about the whole state of Louisiana. Cao’s district is mostly the greater New Orleans area.

The guy studied for the priesthood—so there’s another strike against him from the “ministries”.

Cao should be meeting with the Pope. He seems to be an actual Catholic politician.

"I thought congresscritters were not subject to recall. They can be expelled by the House itself, or possibly impeached-then-convicted (although the impeach-ability of a congresscritter remains an unsettled question). "

You are right on the money. Congressman, nor Senators for that matter, enjoy the same sovereign immunity as the President. So, they can be indicted, tried and convicted in a criminal state or federal court.

As for removal from office, the Senate's rules are very well-defined. The House's are as well, and in fact it's a little easire to expel a sitting Congressman. Just ask Jim Trafficant, former Dem Rep from Ohio. The Code of Conduct for a Congressman is very clearly defined in the Congressional by-laws. However, only the US Congress can remove a Representative.

Representatives are not subject to recall of any kind.

Ministers who worship the government as god. They look to the government to meet all their needs and solve all their problems. They are ministers of hell.

I don’t think you can recall a Federal office holder.

Not like these fools are doing. One basically has to commit treason to be removed from national office. Heck, even common offensives like bribery are hard cases to remove and keep these people out of office in "protected" districts/
