Congressman Philobluster to Have Self-Serving Fireside Chat with His Peons

The 17^th District of Illinois’ hand selected Congressmen, Phil Hare, is honoring (cough-choke-gag) the citizens of this district with a whole hour of telephone chat Monday night. To steal a quote from Monday Night Football –> Are You Ready for Some BS!!! (Okay, I changed the quote a little.) In what is sure to be an attempt at making himself look like FDR, instead of reality, what we will get is more local politburo propaganda. He wishes to look proactive and statuesque to the voters of this district, whom understands how Hare and the local Politburo bullied others and cheated Hare’s path into office. Of course if the Q&A session were really straight it might go something like this.

Question from Citizen X –> Congressman Philobluster, my family is hurting from the spike in oil prices what is the Congress going to do about it?

Congressman Philobluster –>Well cough – cough – cough -gag, mumble, mumble, mumble…. Bush’s fault…. Windfall profit tax big oil…. Bush’s fault…. Harass oil companies with expensive special sessions of congress…. Bush’s fault…. Raise taxes on fuel….Bush’s fault!

Question from Citizen Y –> But Mr. Philobluster won’t installing a windfall profit tax that was proved ineffective back in the 80′s only raise the cost of fuel and thus cause even more increases in costs of other goods similar to a VAT tax.

Congressman Philobluster –> Well, cough-cough-cough – gag, yes you are right the Windfall Profit tax is as useless as man-titties to a newborn baby. Mumble, mumble, mumble…. Bush’s fault…. Mumble, mumble, mumble…. Spank big oil…. Mumble, mumble, mumble…. Bush’s fault!

Question form Citizen T – There is a high influx of illegal aliens coming into this state and our country. The state of Illinois is almost two years behind in payments to medical physicians and hospital services yet the government at State and federal is doing nothing to control the invasion of illegal aliens that are increasing these costs. What are you going to do to stop the flow of illegal aliens into this state and country?

Congressman Philobluster – Well, cough – cough – cough -gag, uh well we have been discussing this with Congresswoman Pelosi. Mumble, mumble, mumble…. Bush’s fault….Mumble, mumble, mumble….Amnesty for illegal aliens….mumble, mumble, mumble….Bush’s fault! ………..

Congressman Philobluster – Let me close by saying this Republicans- Bad, Independents Bad, Democrats good, Bush Lied, Cheney Evil, Big Oil bad, Capitalism Bad, Phil Hare Good, Socialism good, bad things equal Bush’s fault, Phil Hare good.

And on and on and on and on. Now that is the useless Phil Hare Sock-Puppet that the local Democrat politburo forced upon us!

USAmerican Politics: Do as I say – not as I do!

What if you held a vote and no one came to the polls? I don’t know. But I bet that there will be many citizens whining and bitching in neighboring Davenport, Iowa about candidates that make the Primary cut. And then factor in the huge 14% voter turnout for what involved considerable pre-election publicity about several seats and contestants that were at stake! Around fourteen percent of the people in Davenport will determine the direction of progress and political candidates for the next city election. That should give 86% of the people plenty to bitch and moan about between and after elections. Despite the threat of violence and the risk of their lives almost 70% of Iraqi citizens turned out to vote when they were given the chance to really make a difference in selecting leadership. Yet we want to tell them how to govern and arrange their country and legislative body, even to the point of telling them they should split into three polarized sections! And we wonder why so many countries we try to help politically, have problems with our advice on government suggestions. If you want to be taken seriously about cleaning up a mess you have to work on your own back yard first before trying to tell your neighbor how to clean his! Something this country needs to think about.
