This Even Shocks Me
You’d think in trying to iron out what to do about this housing welfare mess that the Democrats would drop their usual dishonesty, wouldn’t you. Think again.
Leave it to Senator Majority Leader Harry Reid to crash the Energy Freedom party. Not only is he crashing the party, he’s doing so through the side door where he thinks no one can see him.
Just when it appeared that we could celebrate Congress lifting the ban on oil shale, Senator Reid “has decided to sneak an extension of the oil shale ban through as Congress fights over the financial bailout.”
What a slime bag. Fortunately, DeMint caught it.
Democrat Senate Leader Harry Reid has decided to sneak an extension of the oil shale ban through as Congress fights over the financial bailout. Oil shale in America’s West is estimated to hold be between 800 billion and 2 trillion barrels of oil — that is more than three times the proven oil reserves in Saudi Arabia alone.
But that’s not all. It’s not even the sleaziest crap the Democrats are trying to pull. Senator Graham reported that the bailout:
includes a reported $100 million more in funding for the left-wing housing entitlement thugs and heavily tax-subsidized fraudsters at ACORN.
Tax money for ACORN? They’re criminals, their agenda is criminal, and they belong behind bars, not getting money to register dead people. Of course, Obama is a big ACORN supporter (see here, and here, and here, and here, and here) — that’s what community organizers do, voter fraud. Well that, and write grant proposals so they can get even more tax money to create more government dependency.
You just can’t get any slimier than this.
You can get almost as slimy, especially if you look in Illinois, where sleazy politics is an art form.
Sources tell CBS 2 News Chicago that Federal agents claim to have enough evidence to indict Blagojevich on fraud and conspiracy charges.
Another station reports:
Prosecutors also mentioned Blagojevich in an indictment as the intended beneficiary of at least one extortion attempt by Blagojevich fundraiser and businessmen Antoin “Tony” Rezko.
Rezko was convicted June 4 on 16 of the 24 counts against him. He awaits sentencing in October on mail and wire fraud, aiding and abetting bribery and money laundering convictions. He still faces two more trials.
The Chicago Sun-Times has reported Rezko could cut his prison time significantly by cooperating in investigations of other public figures.
That would be Obama’s butt buddy. Blowjobjevich is the Democrat Governor of Illinois. Delay was sleazy, but nowhere near as filthy as these Democrats.
jlee:
Yep, Illinois politics in all its scuzziness. We’ve gone from producing men like Lincoln to scumbags like Blowjobjevich (good name, btw - every time I see him, I think “snake oil salesman”) and Obama.
