Sen Gregg (R) worked to abolish the Dept of Commerce, underfund the 2000 Census

[chascarrillo]

What a miserable pick for the head of Commerce: someone who voted to abolish it! What in the fuck???

If that wasn't bad enough, he worked hard to not provide adequate funding for the 2000 Census. Talk to any demographer. They'll tell you that underfunding the Census means that minorities and other hard to enumerate populations will be undercounted.

This fuckwit has no conception of what doing his job adequately, never mind well, entails. Write to your Senators. We can't afford to give Commerce to someone who wanted to abolish it.

2. Once lived in a town next to the Gregg estate...

his father Hugh was active in politics then.
The entire family is scum right out of the Bush mold!
"accident ---???!!!!" Not very fucking likely!
Sadly, I'm getting the "change" I expected.

3. ALL points of view must be considered by this administration...

Even those that are on their face, lies, those proven not to work, and even those known to be evil. This is the "new" Washington. Like it?Even the "Flat-Earthers" need their voices heard.

4. Well, I don't have to feel guilty about not doing what Obama says,

since it doesn't look like change.

5. And the SoS once wanted to "Obliterate Iran"...

... but Hillary now fully supports President Obama's "meet with enemies without preconditions" foreign policy -- the
same one she once denigrated as "naive".

Fercripessakes, you do know that any Cabinet member of the Obama administration is going to obey and support 100%
the policies of President Obama, right? Gregg gushed over Barack's stimulus plan yesterday and well no doubt be trying
to sell it to his former Senate colleagues. I'm sure he wouldn't have done so as a GOP senator. Reid has gotten rid of
an incumbent senator and a popular Democratic Congressman has declared his Senate candidacy for 2010 against
the GOP placeholder, who in turn has pledged not to run in 2010. All's well that ends well: Democrats will hit 60
in 2010.
