One of our congressmen held up dogfighting legislation.
Edited on Sun Aug-19-07 11:02 AM by Archae
Jim Senselessbrainer (Sensenbrenner,) held up dogfighting legislation, for no sensible reason.

Since last year, when Sensenbrenner got tossed out of his chairmanship on his fat ass, the bill has gone through and is now LAW.

Next year this asshole is up for re-election.
I hope his opponent brings this up, especially with Michael Vick's scumball "sport."

Commentary: Sensenbrenner held up legislation on tougher penalties for animal fighting

By Wayne Pacelle

While National Football League star Michael Vick's career and freedom are threatened by his alleged involvement in illegal dogfighting, he caught at least one major break in the process.

Little did he know, but Vick got a great assist, the equivalent of some tremendous pass protection on the field, from U.S. Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Menomonee Falls.

the other way

3. "provision was inexplicably stripped out of the Farm Bill at the insistence of Republican House nego
...negotiators in a conference committee..." snip

Another example of the compassionate conservatives in the House. :sarcasm: :puke:

8. no, i think i read that it is even a worse rationale.
if america allows abortion, how can we treat dogs higher than fetuses?

sorry, but some things are necessary. life is not perfect. especially here where there is no support for women in regards to POST BIRTH.
dog fighting is just INHUMAN.

5. I would love to see him go down the tubes.
I will never forget his "dictatorial" actions of taking away the democrats mike and throwing them out of the room where they were meeting. I hope and pray he gets tossed and I will send him a letter every day and ask him how does it feel to really be tossed. And no body deserves it better than he.

7. His "reason" for opposing it
was that Congress should not take up its precious time considering such trivial matters. (Of course there were over 300 co-sponsors, so it could have passed on a voice vote in about half a minute.) Just one of the many reasons we can't stand him here in the district.

:puke:
