Election and next term

Posted by David Hardy · 11 November 2006 03:58 PM

The Brady Campaign is rejoicing. The New York Times announces that New York (led by Chuck Schumer, the "giant of Brooklyn") is back in power and that Rep. Charles Rangel, likely future chair of Ways and Means, "sketched out an expansive federal agenda: Teaming up with Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg on gun control, passing new tax incentives for urban job programs, and redirecting federal money to New York in return for the outsize tax collections that the federal government makes here."

Yup, this is the same spiel where he uttered the famous “Mississippi gets more than their fair share back in federal money, but who the hell wants to live in Mississippi?” Of course NY comes off worse than MS in terms of federal taxes collected vs. those spent. Federal income tax is progressive -- individuals, and states, with high incomes payment. Federal civilian expenditures are (hopefully) the other way round -- less goes to rich states and more to poor. Apparently the NY delegation finds that liberal financial principle objectionable when applied to them.

UPDATE: Here's an article from the LA Times on the new Demo majorty and the gun issue.

I really want to be optimistic about this, but I can't get over the feeling that we're now utterly screwed. The Democrats came back with some pro-gun candidates, but their party is still run by the loons.

Similar vows are coming from lobbyists for abortion rights, who want to expand family-planning options for poor women and scale back Bush's focus on abstinence education, and from gun-control advocates, who hope to revive a lapsed ban on assault weapons. Labor unions, a core Democratic constituency, are demanding universal healthcare and laws discouraging corporations from seeking inexpensive labor overseas.

You give them 4 days and they are starting in with their crap again.

GOD I HATE LIVING IN THIS COUNTRY!!!!!!!

I guess my gun collection will go up in value yet again, and the right will win back Congress in short order.
I want the leftards to show who they really are, which is why I support free speech.

I love this country, but despise and loathe leftards.
