I don't think anyone today argues that the bridge loans to the automakers turned out to be a good thing. I mean, I think the News has even stopped with its Obama Motors gibberish (although Henry Payne might still be muttering to himself over it in the dark recesses of his museum for half-formed thoughts). Tim Walberg?JACKSON, MI – As he did during the 2010 campaign, U.S. Rep. Tim Walberg is declining to say how he would have voted on 2008 legislation to bail out the auto industry. There's a very serious problem here, and it's that if you can't clearly, definitively say that based on hindsight that you'd vote in favor of something that's been an unqualified good for your home state and especially for your district it's the same as saying that you would have voted against it then and would still vote against it today. This is the same Tim Walberg who was elected to Congress in 2006. He's clearly not interested in working for his constituents but instead serves his own personal ideology. That kind of person doesn't belong in Congress. So, here's where the problem comes in. Tim Walberg doesn't belong in Congress, but he's there because his district as created as to make it safer for him by his own party. And, the other party failed to mount a serious challenge to him through a serious opponent. So, we're stuck with this turd for the foreseeable future. And, keep in mind that this is the same guy who earlier this year accused a sitting U.S. attorney general of conniving to have federal agents slain so he could confiscate firearms. |
