Return of The Bugman: Tom DeLay: President Obama Is A 'Coward' Who Has 'Surrendered To ISIS'

FUCK YOU TOM.

Tom DeLay appeared on Newsmax Prime yesterday, where he declared that President Obama is a coward who has "surrendered to ISIS" and so Republicans need to dedicate themselves to putting pressure on Obama and the Democrats to launch a full-scale war against ISIS.

"We have a president that is feckless, that is incompetent, that has no idea what he's doing," DeLay declared, "and Congress has to say it, Congress has to stand up."

"If I was there," he continued, "I would suspend all legislation for the rest of the year .... and focus on going to war and eliminating ISIS and go to the American people in their districts and in their states, explain what's going on here, explain what has to happen, show them a president that is a coward and stand up for the people when they rise up. First place I would go is I would go to every state that has a Democrat senator and every district that has a Democrat House member and I would physically move my members into those districts and start holding town meetings and hang Obama around these Democrats and weaken their resolve to support this horrible strategy of Obama's. Then you can build a pressure cooker that might force the president to do the right thing."

After graduating from college, DeLay spent three years at pesticide-maker Redwood Chemical[8] and then purchased Albo Pest Control, which DeLay grew into a large and successful business. This work was the source for his nickname, "the Exterminator". In the 11 years DeLay ran the company, the Internal Revenue Service imposed three tax liens on him for failure to pay payroll and income taxes.[9] The United States Environmental Protection Agency's ban on Mirex, a pesticide that was used in extermination work, led DeLay to oppose government regulation of businesses, a belief that he has carried with him throughout his political career.[13]



On August 19, 2009, DeLay, making the rounds of various media shows in order to promote his upcoming participation in season nine of Dancing with the Stars, was interviewed by Chris Matthews of Hardball, a political news and talk show on MSNBC. DeLay made political news,[94][95] when, during the interview, he became perhaps the most famous Republican yet to give voice to the so-called "birther" conspiracy theory about President Barack Obama. During his appearance on Hardball, when pressed by Matthews as to whether he supported the conspiracy theory and its adherents and proponents, including several Republican members of Congress, DeLay said, "I would like the president to produce his birth certificate.... I can, most illegal aliens here in America can. Why can't the president of the United States produce a birth certificate?... Chris, the Constitution of the United States specifically says you have to be a 'natural-born citizen' [to be eligible to serve as president]."

I always find it funny how these charlatans think that with a little passage of time, we are supposed to believe their moral compass just somehow auto corrected to 'good' and 'honorable'.

Bug Man and the Newt!

6. Jack Abramoff warns about money in politics

Jack Abramoff, the disgraced former super lobbyist, came to Tallahassee Tuesday to warn about a political/corporate lobbying complex that frustrates the public’s will ...

“I’m trying to find a way to activate people to change the system, to save it from folks like me,” said Abramoff ...

Abramoff served 43 months in a federal prison after the unravelling of a casino scheme in which he bilked Indian tribes and illegally influenced members of Congress. Abramoff had used money from “family values” groups to pressure lawmakers in Texas to close casinos and then took $32 million from a tribe in an attempt to have them reopened.

Once federal investigators were through with the so-called Abramoff scandal, 20 people were convicted, including Congressman Bob Ney, R-Ohio, a deputy secretary in the Interior Department, and a handful of congressional staffers. The scandal led to Congressman Tom DeLay, R-Texas, resigning his House leadership position ...

... The House Committee on Ethics ... once admonished its own majority leader, Tom DeLay (R-Texas) for staging a fundraiser with energy companies just as a House-Senate conference on major energy legislation was set to begin. According to the ethics committee at the time, “a Member should not participate in a fundraising event that gives even an appearance that donors will receive or are entitled to either special treatment or access” ...

The repuke draft dodging Bill Badass crowd is overflowing the networks these days. When these lying punks start beating the war drums, do any of the media ever ask them about their service back during the Vietnam War?

Aren't there laws against desecration of a corpse? Seems like there are some pretty heavy restrictions against communing with the dead in conservatives' selectively favorite book, too.

no matter how unnecessary, is one of the most evil out there. The cause of most violence in the world is the male protecting his ego against this accusation.
