Oh, Look Here, The Employees Are Involved In A Mutiny

Posted by MrWebsmith on Monday, August 10, 2009 4:58:51 PM
Exhibit #1 David Scott (D-GA 13th district)
 
One of eighteen states that allows recall elections, Georgia voters in the 13th district should consider removing this pompous blowhard from office now. Why wait until November of 2010? State statutes explain what is allowed as reasons for having a recall election. Two of the items mentioned are "violation of oath of office; failure to perform duties prescribed by law"
(Ga. Code §21-4-3(7) and 21-4-4(c)). See Recalling Elected Officials.
 
A performance review of your discharge of duties as an elected official is in order. The oath of office:
 
“I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.” Oath of Office
 
Now, explain to me, Rep. Scott, how is attempting to force health care legislation upon your constituents discharging your duty to be their representative? How is repeating talking points from Obama, Hoyer, Pelosi, not engaging in purposeful evasion? And, while were on the subject, how about being familiar enough with your own little slice of Georgia to realize when you are calling someone who lives in your district all manner of insults?
 
Webster's dictionary defines evasion as "an avoiding of duty,question,etc. by deceit or cleverness." Hmmm, does not having townhall meetings,not answering questions from concerned citizens, having only a telephone style town hall, among other antics, sound like evasion to you? 
 
I'm not an attorney or an attorney spokesperson but I learned about our government in civics and American History classes as a child here in flyover country. I've made numerous trips to the library and have read our nation's founding documents. Congressman Scott, what part about the word "representative" do you not understand? You do not tell your constituents what they should do, what they should be in favor of or what they may talk about during a town hall meeting. You, sir, are the employee! Those bothersome people asking questions about legislation? Citizens. Citizens who pay your salary, who trusted you with elected office, and they have every right to tell you how you should vote for them on issues and laws. They elected you.
 
They also have the authority to throw you out of office for violating their trust and for breaking your solemn oath to represent them and to defend them from all enemies, foreign and domestic. So what will it be, sir? Shall the good people of your district recall you now,  in 2009, or should they send your sorry self home in 2010?
 
Finally, this same admonition is for every other representative who thinks they are entitled to anything. All 435 of you have a duty that you swore an oath to fulfill - and it is to the citizens who elected you, not to any President, not to the Speaker of the House, not to anyone else! WE THE PEOPLE are the owners of this ship and any mutiny attempted by you scallywags will be dealt with by a ballot box revolution the likes of which this nation has never witnessed.

No Excuses! 305 Pink Slips To Be Issued On Capitol Hill

Posted by MrWebsmith on Wednesday, February 11, 2009 3:53:15 AM

We are not buying it! Your lame apologies and excuses will not be accepted. We trusted you with an awesome privilege and you failed, miserably. Don't send us flowers, candy, gifts. How dare you try and serenade us with an ode to stimilus while filling your worthless mouths with all kinds of pork. WE THE PEOPLE are hereby putting all 305 of you arrogant, morally-deficient, condescending gasbags disguised as Senators and Representatives on notice. Your time is up. You've gone too far.

To borrow from a popular maxim: Hell hath no fury like citizens who've been scorned. Let's explain this in words you bloviating, pompous bureaucrats can understand: You work for WE THE PEOPLE. You have no money, no authority, no power, no food on your august political table unless WE THE PEOPLE decide it is meal time, got it? You were elected by citizens not born into royalty. You have no special rights, no immunity, no inheritance, no genealogical pedigree, none. That cup of coffee you drink in your DC office each morning? We pay for that. That meal you eat each day at exclusive cafeterias? We pay for that. That massage you get after your workout at the Senate or House gym? We pay for that. Truth be told, you don't even own the pens that you sign legislation with because we pay for those, too. Oh, and the costs associated with voting all of you sorry excuses for honorable leaders out of office in 2010 and beyond - you got it - we will pay for that, too.

So, 61 pink slips will be issued, the first batch of them next year, to those in the Senate who had the audacity to vote for the pork-filled stimulus bill on February 10, 2009. Now, the names of all who committed this brazen betrayal of the public trust:
 
In the United States Senate:
Inouye (D-HI) - up for reelection in 2010
Reid (D-NV) - up for reelection in 2010
Bayh (D-IN) - up for reelection in 2010
Boxer (D-CA) - up for reelection in 2010
Bennet (D-CO) - replaced Salazar, up for election to a full term in 2010
Burris (D-IL) - replaced Obama, up for election to a full term in 2010
Schumer (D-NY) - up for reelection in 2010
Murray (D-WA) - up for reelection in 2010
Feingold (D-WI) - up for reelection in 2010
Kaufman (D-DE) - replaced Biden, says he will not seek election to a full term
Dorgan (D-ND) - up for reelection in 2010
Dodd (D-CT) - up for reelection in 2010
Leahy (D-VT) - up for reelection in 2010
Milkulski (D-MD) - up for reelection in 2010
Wyden (D-OR) - up for reelection in 2010
Lincoln (D-AR) - up for reelection in 2010
Gilliland (D-NY) - replaced Clinton, up for election to a full term in 2010

View the rest of the list, including the three repulsive Republicans who voted for this pile of excrement here:
 
 
 
In the United States House of Representatives
 
244 pink slips, all in 2010, will be issued to Democrats who rather than doing the job they were elected to do only represent the worst excuses of public servants ever to walk on American soil:

WE THE PEOPLE are a patient, considerate and understanding group but we've had enough. No more Mr. Nice Guy. So, you'll understand if we don't shed a tear when you numbskulls actually have to start paying your own way in life, when you are weaned, kicking and screaming, from the milk we generously provided you with for far too long.
