The List

As we learn more about the lunatic who shot up Congresswoman Gifford's constituent meeting, I think it'll become necessary to compile a list of people indirectly responsible who should be tried for treason. For starters...

Sarah Palin
Glenn Beck
Sean Hannity
Bill O'Reilly (how bout we just say everyone at FOX)
Rush Limbaugh
Michele Bachmann
Michelle Malkin
Sharron Angle
Steve King
Steve Gill
Allen West
Phyllis Schlafly
Mark Levin
Those associated with the "Tea Party Movement"

Note that this is a working list. Also, note that I will not include Marsha Blackburn because, as right-wing and hateful as she can be, I have never heard her incite violence like ALL of those listed above.

What is happening???

Pleeeease don't let this be a politically-motivated shooting...

Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) shot at constituent meeting.

Lord, help us...

WASHINGTON-- At a pre-swearing in reception on Capitol Hill this morning, Reps Marsha Blackburn (TN-7), John Duncan (TN-2), and Phil Roe (TN-1), welcomed the new members of Tennessee's Congressional Delegation.

Pictured from left to right are, Rep. Phil Roe (TN-1), Rep. Elect Chuck Fleischmann (TN-3), Rep. Marsha Blackburn (TN-7), Rep. John Duncan (TN-2), Rep. Elect Diane Black (TN-6), Rep. Elect Stephen Fincher (TN-8), and Rep. Elect Scott DesJarlais (TN-4).

Repeal and replace with nothing!!! Cackle, cackle.

Congressman Blackburn creates her own mandate to repeal everything and replace it with nothing. The free market will fix everything, right?

So far, Marsha's to-do list includes repealing healthcare, repealing a ban a incandescent lightbulbs, and repealing net neutrality rules. I assume then she'll begin funneling money out of public schools and into the military. Just call me psychic.

How ridiculous can she get?!!!

I don't know what definition of 'Republican' Marsha Blackburn is reading, but could she be any more wrong with her Christmas mess of a message?

God Bless Us Everyone
Marsha Blackburn

As the Holiday season is upon us, I’m reminded of Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” and I have to say that the House is showing a great deal of similarities these days. The chamber is like Ebenezer Scrooge’s counting house on Christmas Eve. Scrooge-like liberals still relish denying coal to the everyday “Bob Cratchit” Americans who just want a little warmth this season. I suspect my liberal colleagues are stretching out the days in Washington because they dread a visit from three Christmas Ghosts once they are alone in the darkened House Chamber.

The Ghost of Christmas Past would take them through their many errors, from Cap and Trade, through Health Care, and on to tax increases. With each move, they’d watch their once jovial colleagues become more insular and out of touch with the American People.

The Ghost of Christmas Present would be no more comforting. They’d watch themselves argue on the Floor endlessly about amnesty for illegals, tax increases for small business, and big government management of everything from the internet to school lunches- all while incoming freshmen like Stephen Fincher, Diane Black, Chuck Fleishman, and Scott DeJarlais deck the halls of their new Congressional Offices and looking forward to a productive new year.

Finally, they must particularly dread the moment when the Ghost of Christmas Future glides into the Chamber to show them what will happen if they don’t change their ways….

For my part, I am looking forward to throwing open the windows on a sunny Christmas Morning. There may be a few more cold and frustrating days between now and Christmas. Too many of them will be spent here in Washington watching Scrooge count his coins and hoard his coal- but Christmas always comes; a new year always follows; and better days are ahead.

God Bless Us Every One

Marsha Blackburn

I don't even want to critique this nonsense. She embarasses herself enough just by making it public.

A sad day

Say what you want about her husband, but today we lost an amazingly strong woman and a committed advocate for those less fortunate.

Thank you, Elizabeth Edwards.

Marsha Blackburn opposes core American values

Fairness, equality, and neutrality are all concepts that Republicans hate more than Nancy Pelosi. Case and point:

Net Neutrality Rift Erupts Ahead of Historic FCC Open Internet Decision

A blurb for ya...

Many advocates of net neutrality believe that the most effective way to ensure the principles — in the long term — is through new legislation from Congress. But with anti-regulatory Republicans taking over the House of Representatives, there is virtually no chance of that happening for at least two years. So, advocates say, it’s up to Genachowski.

Republicans have been lashing out at possible FCC action since the spring. Rep. Marsha Blackburn, the outspoken Tennessee Republican who sits on the House Energy and Commerce Committee pledged Tuesday to overturn the rules. “This is a hysterical reaction by the FCC to a hypothetical problem,” Blackburn said in a statement. Genachowski “has little if any congressional support for net neutrality.”

Since being elected in 2002, Rep. Blackburn has received $114,000 in total campaign donations from AT&T, Verizon, and the National Cable and Telecommunications Association, her second, third, and fifth top career contributors, respectively, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

As Congressman Blackburn and right-wing Republicans worship at the altar of capitalism, Americans will lack what it takes to really make the free market work: perfect information.

Hilarious pre-election message to Congressman Blackburn

I'm sure it's just more liberal bias

Rep. Marsha Blackburn dismissive of being named to 'most corrupt' list
By Bartholomew Sullivan • THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL • October 14, 2010

WASHINGTON — Less than a month before midterm elections, the Washington-based watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has named U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn to its list of the 26 “most corrupt” members of Congress.

CREW gave the Franklin Republican the designation based on what it calls “her repeated failure to properly report campaign receipts and expenditures, including payments made to a family-owned business.”

Blackburn campaign spokesman Darcy Anderson dismissed the listing as old news wrapped in a fundraising appeal.

“The FEC dismissed this matter two years ago after the congressman discovered and addressed it with her constituents,” Anderson said. “The only new information is that CREW wants more money.”

Blackburn, who is in her fourth term, faces Democrat college professor Greg Rabidoux of Clarksville on Nov. 2.

Besides Blackburn, the list includes U.S. Reps. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., and Maxine Waters, D-Calif., both currently involved with House ethics complaints, and Sens. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the minority leader, and John Ensign, R-Nev., whose parents paid off the cuckolded husband of his mistress.

Are you one of everyone?

Congressman Blackburn likes to say she listens to her constituents and takes their message to Washington. However, it is abundantly clear that she puts a buffer between herself and any voice that conflicts with her far-right agenda. Here she is on some chick's radio show talkin' up the whole "EVERYONE is telling me that..." b.s.
