Should a Costly, Defunct, Ineffective Policy from Prince William County be statewide?

Corey exploits the dead for political purposes.  For shame.   I don’t hear Corey Stewart talking about drunk drivers killing a grandmother and her grandchild or an habitual drug offender veering across a median strip to cause an inferno that  killed 2 people and seriously  injured a third. I suppose those deaths just don’t have the same ring as an ‘illegal immigrant.’

 I thought that the Attorney General said that this was BAD legislation. Why is Corey still pushing it? If the Cooch says its bad, then it must stink. Which delegate or state senator is going to go charging in come January and insist on passing bad legislation?

.’UPDATE:  A long time resident of Prince William County sent me a suggested scenario just for those who want to take a trip  back in time to days of old…just for a moment.  Come gather round to see how Corey became Corey, the Red-nosed Exploitative Reindeer

                                                  

Corey the Red-Nosed Exploitative Reindeer 

I’m sure when Greg Letiecq knocked on the door with the camera Corey said, “Oh no, do I have to make this video today? It’s Christmas!” And Greg said, “Corey, if you don’t do my evil bidding, I will reveal all of your secrets from 2007 and your political career will be over, bwhaahahahahaaa!”

Corey then said, “But no one in Virginia supports this law, not even the Republicans, at least not the respectable ones. And your script, it’s really going to make me look like an ass. Trying to convince the whole state to pass a law that I couldn’t stop my own board from repealing? You know they’re going to rip me to shreds when they find out how much it cost.”

Greg: “We’ll deny it, and find a polarizing way to distract them.”

Corey: “What if they find out the real crime statistics?”

Greg: “We’ll accuse anyone who looks up the real statistics of being an illegal alien apologist, a traitor, and a socialist. Then I’ll get my three lady friends to write them some angry emails. They’ll back down.”

Corey: “Alright, come in, we’ll shoot it in my office. But I’m not doing it over and over again. Last time was so exhausting.”

Greg: “Fine, fine, we’ll do it in one take.”

Corey: “Can we cut this part where I try to exploit a tragic accident and the Christmas holiday? I think that’s really in poor taste.”

Greg: “Nope. That’s the best part. Trust me, if you get people riled up enough, you can turn them against those losers George Allen and Ken Cuccinelli. They’re not tough like you are. They’re soft and weak. You are the only Republican who is man enough to walk in Sharon Angel and Jan Brewer’s non-immigrant looking shoes!”

Corey: “Thanks Greg, that’s kind of you.”

Greg: “Now sit here in front of this painting. I’ll frame it so the guy’s head is chopped off so it subtly reminds people of headless bodies.”

Corey: “Good idea.”

Disclaimer: The above is satire. I have no idea who really made the video.

Coburn Attempts to Block 9/11 Bill

Unbelievable.  Senator Colburn of Oklahoma still tries to block the 9/11 bill and provides misinformation.

 

From Huffington Post:

The Senate did hold a hearing, however, in June, though Coburn didn’t attend it, according to a Senate Democratic aide.

To win Republican support, Democrats have slashed $1.2 billion from the cost of the bill — by cutting out a victims compensation fund. And Democrats have backed off the attempt to close tax loopholes that benefit major corporations and instead are offering to pay for the bill, according to aides familiar with the negotiations, by setting a fee on federal government contractors with foreign countries that have not signed certain procurement agreements with the U.S and by extending a fee that already exists on certain H1B visas. The latter fee had unanimous support among Republicans and Democrats earlier this year.

Support for the measure had apparently been growing before Coburn’s announcement. New York Democratic Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, two of the bill’s sponsors, both claimed Monday that the bill finally had the votes to pass. That contention appeared to be supported by the recent comments of a some key Republicans who had encouraged a Senate détente in order to send the package through to the President.

On Tuesday, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani became the latest name on that list.

“This should not be seen as a Democratic or Republican issue. It shouldn’t even been seen as a fiscal issue. This is a matter of morality, it’s a matter of obligation,” Giuliani said on an appearance on a local Fox affiliate.

And last week, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said that “every Republican should vote for this bill.”

Current New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, an independent, also urged the Senate to reach an agreement, saying Monday that the “time for excuses is over.”

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, one of the bill’s sponsors, tells another story:

Just what is it going to take to get these people some help?
