Steve King’s Amending The Constitution
January 18th, 2007 at 12:29pm Geraldine
Steve King, who has a reputation as being one of the craziest Congressmen in the House of Representatives, (which is quite an achievement considering his competition) is back and better than ever in the 110th Congress. After previous legislative accomplishments ranging from working to keeping 600,000 American citizens from voting to registering a bold protest against the use of condoms to fight Aids in Africa. Since, obviously, condoms promote AIDS. That’s right, on June 28, 2005, Steve King gave a speech in Congress attacking the establishment of a “condom culture” in Africa. He warned that once you create this “condom culture,” it can lead to “the elimination… of abstinence until marriage and monogamy after that”
So what’s Steve doing now? Well, he’s celebrating the 100 hours by sponsoring a Constitutional Amendment. This isn’t just a run of the mill amendment banning flag burning or making English our nation’s official language, his amendment, HJ 16, would make the Federal Income Tax unconstitutional. This is the type of bold legislation that our nation needs. Most politicians would hesistate to eliminate the income tax in a time of massive budget deficits and a foreign war. They wouldn’t have the zeal or the vision that Steve King has. After all, we didn’t need an income tax the last time we fought and won a unilateral war in the Middle East. We beat the Barbary Pirates with our government funded solely by tariffs. We can beat Al Queda and the Iraqi militias the same way.
So what’s Steve King’s next step once he eliminates the income tax? The word on the street is he’s gunning to run for Senate against Tom Harkin (despite some rumors that Harkin might retire). However, it seems likely that Harkin will run and make Steve King the 6th sitting Republican Congressman he’s defeated. And even Harkin doesn’t run, almost any Democrat should beat King if he runs for Senate. Iowa may have a quirky electorate but Iowans aren’t quirky enough to elect someone who is so clearly deranged to the U.S. Senate.

A future so bleak if that Whistler One-Note Johnny and the Monster
2-Fer demonizers. Obama won’t be their 3-Fer BOY.
American’s Catching on
Obama the wave of the future
Competitor McCain being endorsed by sadist chap

“This president had the chance to end the torture debate for good, yet he chose instead to leave the door open to use torture in the future,” said Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
She said Bush ignored the advice of 43 retired generals and admirals and 18 national security experts, including former secretaries of state and national security advisers, who supported the bill.
—————————— -
That PA political mouther King got things twisted ( racist rant will
benefit President Obama) such a lack of understanding of cause and effect
as to the joy that will be triggered by the landslide vote of our next President,
Barak Obama. Anti-Bush (most unloved prez) haters will equally be jumping with joy when Bush3 (McCain) gets dumped Big Time.
An enemy whose hated of America was enhanced by the stutterer Bush (and his Repug ilk/go along fellows) will be rendered impotent with a passion
so profound. We’ll be seeing a world calmed after a “Common Sense” leader like Mr. Obama is positioned ” the leader of a free rational world.”
Bring it on Hillary/Repugs. Barak being the diplomat would not
subscribe to my remarks I’m sure. Think on what is possible and
the logic will pop up and make one to evolve to what I’ve written..
Through President Obama’s political reasoning
and execution on the diplomatic front we’ll
be experiencing a world without fear once again.
With such a leader we won’t be terrorized as we are currently
- kept in line to serve our undemocratic ME friend(s)
with terror threats fake or otherwise..
Billions will be saved and will be spent on useful projects
that are going begging - used to make the USA a Shining City On A Hill.
Go Obama - Our prayers are with you. Imagine the Billary-2Fer team
- the same old politics of demonizing others. What a Uniter Couple
Zeros as like Bush2/Bush3 McCain.
