Scary Liberals Controlling Congress?

Many of us know our Democrat Congressional Delegation (Berry, Snyder & Ross); at least, all of us know who they are. Most of us might find them to be nice fellows in spite of the fact that they have voted a majority of the time in opposition to the issues and values we hold dear as Arkansans.

This election, even if we agreed with the way they vote (which most of the times we don?t), a vote for any Democrat candidate for Congress could help put the most liberal people in the House in key positions of leadership. If the Democrats gain a majority of seats in the House of Representatives, the following ?Scary Liberals? will take control of the House:

Nancy Pelosi (D, CA) will become the next Speaker of the House. She vote liberal 95% of the time. She voted against cutting taxes, against renewing the Patriot Act, against reducing the death tax, and against making it illegal to desecrate our flag. She supports gay marriage, has backed legislation to fund abortions for military women and military dependents, wants a timetable for withdrawing our troops from Iraq, supports gun control, and opposes strengthening the enforcement of immigration laws. She would be third in line to the Presidency, right behind the Vice President.

Steny Hoyer (D, MD) would be the Majority Leader. All spending bills originate in the House. The first order of business will be to raise our taxes. Hoyer?s voting record virtually mirrors Pelosi?s, and he calls himself a ?tax-tax, spend-spend? Democrat. The Washington Post has called Hoyer one of ?the house?s 10 most prodigious suppliers of pork? spending.

Barney Frank (D, MA) would chair Financial Services. Openly gay, Frank founded the national gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender Stonewall Democrats. Frank is all for gay marriage. When the Democrats last ran the House, Frank received a slap on the wrist when it was discovered that Frank?s boyfriend was running a male prostitution ring out of Frank?s apartment.

John Conyers (D, MI) would chair the Judiciary Committee. He has impeaching President Bush on the brain along with slavery reparations.

John Murtha (D, PA) would head up the Appropriations Committee?s Defense Subcommittee. He has been a leader of the cut-and-run crowd.

Charles Rangel (D, NY), who equates tax cuts with racism, would become chair of the Ways and Means Committee which writes the tax bills. Expect your taxes to escalate dramatically and quickly.

Alcee Hastings (D, FL) would chair the House Intelligence Committee. As a former federal judge, he was impeached on corruption and perjury charges. He accepted a $150,000 bribe in exchange for a light sentence and then lied about it under oath. Hastings was convicted and removed from the bench by the Democrat-controlled Senate, but they declined to forbid him to ever hold office again. He was reborn as a U.S. Representative.

This election is not just about voting for our local District candidates. It is also about who will be in control of the House, our troops, our money, and our security. Berry, Snyder and Ross have proven over and over that they will not go against this liberal crowd and vote to represent the majority values of Arkansas voters. It?s time to elect others who will represent the values of Arkansans and to keep the House leadership from falling into the hands of extreme liberals.
