While watching Fox News on Sunday I was treated to video of the newest entrant into the GOP Presidential field, Rep. Thaddeus McCotter. It seems Mr. McCotter feels it is disrespectful for we Hobbits to refer to the more liberal and moderate Republican members of Congress as RINOS. Speaking on behalf of the Shire Community, Mr. McCotter, if our elected Republicans did not morph into Democrats the term RINOS would not exist.
The battle for our existence as a free people is raging against our own Saruman (Soros) and his disgusting creations, the Uruk-hai and Wargs (Obama and Democrat Congress); yet the rallying cries for faux Conservatives such as Mr. McCotter are "bi-partisanship" and "compromise". A check of the Hobbit dictionary failed to turn up either word.
It could be the voting record of the gentleman wishing to govern the Shire that causes him such distress over the term RINO. Among the highlights of his sterling accomplishments in the House are his yes votes on the following bills:
The auto bailout
Reauthorization of the SCHIP Program
Unemployment Extension bills
Passenger Rail Investment Act
The Omnibus Public Land Management Act
Great Cats and Rare Canids Act (100% of funds go to foreign countries for wildlife research)
Crane Conservation Act (80% of funds go to foreign countries)
Pre-Disaster Mitigation Act
John Conyers sponsored Family Self-Sufficiency Act
Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act (HUD and ACORN)
Christopher Dodd's Helping Families Save Their Homes Bill
The TSA Authorization Act
Maxine Waters Hope VI Improvement and Re-authorization Act (Public Housing)
Public Transportation Act
The list of the Unconstitutional bills he has helped pass into law, just in the last few years, spans several pages and adds up to more than $2 trillion dollars.
The way I see it Mr. McCotter, it is we Hobbits who should be offended by your actions.
