Now Rep Steve King is the delusional, forgetful one
He keeps talking about how the republics want to CUT SPENDING and decrease government, while the democrats want to just increase spending and taxes.

What the fuck? Is there not ONE honest republic house member? Where has this guy been? And why is he still going on and on about a bill that already passed?

1. He's a camera-hog
He's on C-Span practically every night going on and on about something ... Trying to get himself into leadership probably.

Umm... Rep. King...
you lost an election big time to a large extent because your party failed to do these things in 12 years. And even though Bill Clinton forced a balanced budget down your throats, you still managed to fuck it up. Your party does not deserve to run Congress.

3. NO
there is not one honest republican in Washington. And not one American who supports bush deserves their constitutional liberties.

Cut spending while funneling billions to your fool leaders war. People who vote for republicans are fucking idiots.

4. Instead of saying NO to earmarks, he wants to give Bush the Line Item Veto
How hollow is THIS gesture? Give the dictator even MORE power, instead of just stopping the horrible practice in the first place! WTF? No president should have the line-item veto. The legislature should be forbidden from sending the president 3600 pages of anonymous earmarks, not just say "we can't control ourselves!" and cede more power to Bush.

:eyes:

5. Steve King or Peter King?
Don't know that I've heard of Rep. Steve King, but this sounds a lot like the crazy motherfucker from New York, Peter King, who can't walk three steps without putting on the Holy Mantle of Victimhood (or, "It's Hard Out Here for a Well-Connected White Guy").

6. 5th District, Iowa
He is still on about people sneaking earmarks into bills late in the night, so Bush needs the line item veto. But the dems want NO earmarks, or at the very least, FULL DISCLOSURE AND TRANSPARENCY. King wants the opportunity to sneak pork in and attempt to get it through the process unnoticed, and leave it to Bush to choose what to veto. But Bush does this already with the Signing Statement. This is PURE bullshit. 100%. A self-centered douche like Bouche will simple line-item veto anything democrats add while letting all republic earmarks to go through.

Again -- I think the third time today I've said this -- it ain't rocket science!

10. I stand (or rather sit) corrected
Seems like the Republicans have a plentiful supply of whiny ass titty babies. Especially ones named "King."

9. He's not delusional or forgetful; he's just playing to a PUBLIC that is.
And, with a completely Corporate-owned media, he's
got a good shot at convincing the public that the last
six years were exactly OPPOSITE of reality.

13. Okay, where is the hook for this guy?
Did they just hand over the rest of the afternoon to King? Who is this windbag? Does he have a point? Has he asked for anything? Made any demands? What the bloody hell is he on about?
