Cop Killers Caucus

[Patriot Heart]

From an email. The Dems never run out of new and inventive ways to stoop lower than a snake's belly, do they?

Cop Killer's Caucus (http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2006/roll527.xml)
The House yesterday passed a resolution "condemning the decision of St. Denis, France, to name a street in honor of Mumia Abu-Jamal, the convicted murder [sic] of Philadelphia Police Office Danny Faulkner." The vote was 368-31, with 8 members voting "present." Here's a list of what one might call the Cop-Killer's Caucus, the congressmen who voted against the resolution, all Democrats:

The "present" votes came from Sam Farr (Calif.), Al Green (Texas), Luis Gutierrez (Ill.), Sheila Jackson-Lee (Texas), John Lewis (Ga.), George Miller (Calif.), Janice Schakowsky (Ill.) and Melvin Watt (N.C.). Tellingly, every member of the Pennsylvania delegation who was present voted "yes."
The most disturbing name on the "no" list is that of John Conyers. Granted, this is only a symbolic vote, but is it really a good idea to entrust the chairmanship of the Judiciary Committee to a man who casts a symbolic vote for a cop-killer and against his victim?

i dont get it, sure that city in france is nuts and no one should ever praise a cop killer.
but what does a "we condemn you" resolution do? what would we care if france passed a resolution saying they dont like GITMO?

[Patriot Heart]

It's purely for show of course, but it speaks to the brazen nature of the Dems that they would not support such a resolution.

Jerrrold Nadler and Anthony Weiner both represent sizeable portions of New York City. (Of course, Nadler is a sizeable portion of the City all by himself.)

Lynn Woolsey is out of Marin County, CA, and may be one of the few members of the House with an IQ comparable to Paris Hilton's. Sheila "Where exactly on Mars did the Apollo missions land?" Jackson-Lee is another, of course.

Barbara Lee was the lone Congresscritter who opposed U.S. action in Afghanistan. She is undoubtedly pro-terrorist and pro-criminal.

Cynthia McKinney is on the way out of the House, IIRC, and not a moment too soon. She, too, would probably lose an IQ contest with Paris or one of her friends.

[Lubbock]

Except for a couple of names that I didn't recognize, I would say this is a list of the "usual suspects."

No more, no les than I would expect from the likes of Rangle, Conyers, Lee, Jackson, McKinney, Nadler, Scott.

And since I don't want to bet bounced from this site, I'll stop right there.

Here she is taking an IQ test:

This is sad. How can there be so much incompetence in our country?

Cynthia McKinney, Jesse Jackson Jr. are predictable, though. After all, they're dumb enough to support reparations.

Has anyone been able to identify anything approaching a reason why St. Dennis wants to name this street after a criminal anyway?

[MrSanity]

Has anyone been able to identify anything approaching a reason why St. Dennis wants to name this street after a criminal anyway?I know I'm beating a dead horse, but the Democrats do everything they can for the criminal population. They've gone after the dead vote, the felon vote, and the illegal alien vote. so why not the cop-killer vote?

[LightHorseman]

Um, yeah, but whats that got to do with a town in France?

Because the Frogs - like lefties everywhere, including here - are soft on criminals and hard on its victims. They love their cop killers and child molestors. They want to rehabilitate them, don't you know. :rolleyes:

Then, of course, there's the ever-enthralling fun of pissing America off. Yeah, I know. Maturity is not the left's strong point.

Is "lets piss off the Sepos" the actual stated reason for wanting to name the street thusly, or is there more to it?

[MrSanity]

They want to rehabilitate them, don't you know. :rolleyes:Yes, once you talk to a liberal, you become oh so enlightened all the sudden.

[Air-Warrior]

Why does someone vote "present" in a yes/no vote? Were they just not paying attention when the details of the issue were handed out? If it's just a softsoap alternative to voting NO on this resolution...who on earth do they think they're fooling?

[Beowulf]

I'll bet Vermont congressman Bernie Sanders, soon to be Senator Sanders, voted against this bill as he did the Amber Alert bill.

[DeclinetoState]

Either Sanders voted yes or he didn't vote at all. He's not on the list of those who voted no.

I have never understood how and why the electorate chooses toward the lowest common denominator. Yes! I do understand that there is a significant percentage that benefits from such support which is critical to the pols re-election.

One must consider that the Republic on which this nation was founded was destroyed in 1913 when the Income Tax was, allegedly, validated ( The irregularities in "counting" in the state of Ohio was and is questionable.and when the Federal Reserve was created.

While there have been contentious elections, this nation has never before now failed to support a President in his lawful duties. There has been criticism, but never before such a division as we have witnessed since 2001. The Democrat party has been complicit, no, it has been the leader and director of a deliberate campaign to overthrow the will of the people as expressed in their votes.

The democrats have openly opposed victory in the "war against terrorism."
George Bush bears responsibility for a portion of this fiasco as he has failed to talk to, explain to and enlist his base and any American patriot into his (it is actually, OUR) cause. He has failed to explain that your life and your future is dependent on our successfully addressing the religious component of the war on terror. In other words and somewhat succinctly, We had better win this war or else, get our faces in the dirt, our asses in the air or lose our heads!
