New Anti-Terrorism Caucus Formed in U.S. House
January 31st, 2007 at 11:59 am . by el nuko
A good idea, in theory. But where are you going to find a democrat with a backbone?
Today at a press conference in the U.S. Capitol, U.S. Representative Sue Myrick (R-NC), along with Representatives Bud Cramer (D-AL), Kay Granger (R-TX), and Ben Chandler (D-KY) formally announced they have formed a new bipartisan Congressional Anti-Terrorism Caucus. Myrick, Cramer, Granger, and Chandler are the co-chairs of the new caucus.
The Caucus mission statement states that it “serves to educate Members of Congress, their staff and the general public about the threats to our country that are fueled by extremist ideologies. The Caucus recognizes that terrorism is not a Democrat or Republican problem; it is a critical issue for all Americans. To this end, the Caucus will facilitate an educational process and healthy exchange of ideas in a bipartisan setting.”
Focus on the threat from “extremist ideologies” is much-needed and long-overdue. The new Caucus will meet in the coming months to hear from leading experts on issues such as terrorist financing and their use of the internet.

Mick, uh, I’m even more concerned about the voters and the peoples’ representatives from California (shudder) and Massachusetts (running screaming for the door).

Yes I am, Mick, and I’m surprised that people will put up with the patronization bullshit.

SwampWoman, aren’t you a little scared about how dumb America is to even get candidates like Edwards? Another reason I will never step foot in North Carolina again.

Yeah, I was vastly amused at Edwards shedding large tears at the plight of the poor. I was shocked, SHOCKED that he would earn so much money out of the misfortunes of his poor clients that he would be building such a monstrosity of a house, but perhaps he intends to do something about the poor in that county by hiring them all to be house maids and gardeners.

I saw Silky Pony’s new house photo last week. I think he clear cut about 30 acres of forest for a 28,000 sq. ft. mansion.
Talk about a hypocrite, check out my obit to Molly Ivins today on sadbastards.wordpress.com. I will hit 40,000 views today. I’m catching up with Nuke.

In the meantime, have you heard about the Silky Pony’s new house?
