From Down With Tyranny: 28 Dangerous Extremists Who Hate Americans Spotted On Capitol Hill Friday

So who would oppose a bill to extend unemployment benefits? 28 far right Republican extremists, the worst of the worst-- and on a day when the newpapers announced gigantic layoffs, overwhelmingly caused by GOP trade and financial policies! Most of the 28 maniacs who voted NO are in safe districts where their constituents are as filled with hatred, fear and ignorance as they are and it is hopeeless to even try to oppose them. But not all. A few are in genuinely moderate districts and can be defeated in November, particularly:

Michele Bachmann (R-MN)
John Culberson (R-TX)
Bill Sali (R-ID)
John Shadegg (R-AZ)

Shadegg's vote was particularly callous since he had just voted 90 minutes earlier for the $700,000,000,000 Wall Street bailout. His campaign contributors will be well-taken care of. Regular American families thrown out of work through no fault of their own just got the middle finger (once again) from John Shadegg. He has a great opponent this year too-- Bob Lord. If you'd like to give Bob a hand, he's on the DWT ActBlue page.

By implication Arizona's Shadegg and Flake consider spending money for a potential bird flu outbreak as pork ...

I guess from the point of view of Arizona Republican Congresscritters John Shadegg and Jeff Flake instead of spending money on the health and welfare of the nation our tax dollars should be streamlined into the veins of Haliburton or some other Republican mafia corporation.

Though I'm not up on the issue of peanut storage in George (perhaps it is pork) but levee reconstruction in New Orleans and the potential of a bird flu outbreak are real issues that the Republicans ignored as they spent down the treasury with their pet war in Iraq.

How they can mention budgets and pet projects and pork with a straight face and how anyone with a brain (oh, sorry, that excludes most of the media, doesn't it) would actually care or write about what these Bush enablers think is beyond belief.
