Please Get a Grasp on Reality
This article is from the Capital Times. It congratulates Dave Obey on intending to die while kicking the hell out of somebody on the House floor. It's a bunch of garbage punctuated by this statement:
"His grasp of details and sense of what's best for the people are unmatched in the House. He also happens to be the ranking Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, a position of power and influence that benefits everyone in this state. If the Democratic Party had a few more Dave Obeys, America wouldn't be in the mess it's in right now."
Let's remember Dave Obey had such a firm grasp on reality that he, in one week, tried to ammend the federal budget with a $14.2 billion spending increase, he voted against extending the tax relief helping small businesses (his voting record is 92% against small businesses by the way), middle class families hit by the Alternative Minimum Tax (a ridiculous tax liberals like Obey put in place a long time ago), and that helped the lowest income workers by continuing the 10% tax bracket (saving many $300 a year). He also continues to oppose increasing domestic oil supply and refining. He voted to allow taxpayer funding of abortions on military hospitals overseas. He criticized the outgoing CIA director while failing to mention he has repeatedly voted to cut funds ($500 million the year of the first World Trade Center bombing, 1993) from that critical agency.
The fact is, if we had just 15 more Dave Obeys in the House of Representatives instead of Republicans right now, all these stupid votes he took would have become the law of the land. Yep, more spending (a heck of a lot more than $14.2 billion), higher taxes, higher gas prices, and taxpayer funded abortions.
As for Obey's position of power and influence benefitting everyone in this state, then why does Wisconsin rank so low in the amount of federal dollars coming back here? Answer - that's not Obey's goal for his position on the Appropriations Committee. He is there to do the bidding and social engineering of the liberal special interests in the Democrat party. He isn't working hard to bring federal dollars home. That's why he doesn't support earmark reform which would require him to put his name by his earmarks. Then he will have to choose between doing the liberal special interest bidding and looking bad at home for not doing more OR getting money for home and losing support of his liberal allies in Washington (who by the way funded 92% of his campaign contributions last quarter).
We say, let's try one less Dave Obey not more.
