Altmire Rips Dem Strategy

Congressman Jason Altmire (D-Pa4)  criticized the Democrats “deem and pass” strategy regarding the attempt to socialize America’s health care system. Speaking on Fox Business Network, today, he called the attempt “wrong.”

Altmire represents a fairly conservative district,  has close ties to the health industry and voted against the House version of the plan last November. He has, however, said he was considering voting yes this time around.

TheHill.com, as of 12:41 p.m., lists him as undecided.

Education Department Wants Short-Barrel Shotguns

Education Department Wants Short-Barrel Shotguns — The federal Department of Education is soliciting bids for 27 Remington Model 870 12-gauge shotguns with 14-inch barrels.

Why does the federal Department of Education need 27 Remington Model 870 12-gauge shotguns with 14-inch barrels?

Now, someone might make a comment like “ho ho ho, maybe they might have to enter South Philadelphia High” and think they are being smart, but someone making such a comment would only show themselves to be rather stupid.

The Department of Education has absolutely no defense or law enforcement purpose. Buying guns indicates a perverse mission creep and that those running the department are not really people we want in government.
