EYE understand why #GOPCongressCowards are skeered to face taxpayers

Only 1 Republican In New Jersey Is Holding Town Halls. Constituents Aren't Wasting The Opportunity. https://t.co/k2Y5k6f6MU

If EYE were a GOP Congress Critter EYE would be afraid to face my constituents too. Especially those scary democrats because EYE would have to admit the media enabled narrative was an #AlternativeFact. 

Contrary to misguided belief the majority of the American people don't hate ObamaCare more than they love themselves.  The majority of the American people like having access to quality affordable health insurance. 

The majority of the American people don't want to send them there illegals back to Mexico.  The majority of the American people aren't afraid of Muslims.  The majority of the American people don't care more about keeping women from choosing to have a safe legal abortion, keeping the gays from getting married and controlling what bathroom transgendered taxpayers use.

Now if the GOP had listened to the people instead of their media enablers they wouldn't be afraid to face the masses and we the peeps wouldn't be in this mess.

Speaking of the Tea Party-infused media enablers,  they have the nerve to whine because the creature they created has turned on them.  You know what they say, no good deed goes unpunished.

#SweetHomeAlabama where Democrats are being taxed without representation

EYE guess everyone has seen the video of Representative Mo Brooks (R. Chicken CD5) sneaking into his own canceled republican only town hall meeting held at a church in north Alabama and heard about his refusal to meet with democrat constituents in his office. 

Evidently, Alabama's republican lawmakers only represent republican taxpayers and are using the taxpayer-funded police force to protect them from their Democratic constituents.

If EYE recall correctly there was a little thingy called the Boston Tea Party which led to the Revolutionary War to address taxation without representation.

"No Taxation Without Representation" is a slogan originating during the 1750s and 1760s that summarized a primary grievance of the American colonists in the Thirteen Colonies, which was one of the major causes of the American Revolution

If republicans lawmaters don't wake up and smell the tea EYE don't think voter suppression, gerrymandering,  Citizens United, and the Electoral College will be able to protect them the next time there is an election.  The majority of the American people voted for democrats.

As grim as the situation is for Democrats — and it is grim — it’s not going to take long for Republicans to recognize their peril. They’ve lost the popular vote in six of the past seven elections. Their president-elect is less popular than any incoming president in the history of polling. It’s the out-of-power party that tends to gain in midterm elections.

EYE am just saying... 

#SweetHomeAlabama #Sweet16 #RollTide "Are our priorities messed up?"

This is the Alabama Congressional Delegation making fools of themselves, EYE mean, celebrating the University of Alabama's 16th National Football Championship on the floor of the House of Representatives. 

From the Heisman Trophy winner, [Derrick] Henry, the quarterback, Jake Coker, and the tremendous 95-yard run of Kenyan Drake, all of the players on the 2016 team deserves our applause and congratulations," said U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell, D-Birmingham, who represents Tuscaloosa in the House. She was joined by Reps. Mike Rogers, R-Saks; Martha Roby, R-Montgomery; Mo Brooks, R-Huntsville; and Robert Aderholt, R-Haleyville.

 #OurTaxDollarsAtWork

Again,  EYE congratulate the the University of Alabama football program on their 16th National Championship,  b-but there is something....troubling about....pride for a national football championship..... in a state that ranks 48 among 50 states in quality of life for children....where some of the people probably can't spell Alabama much less attend the University of Alabama thanks to it'se pi$$ poor education system , are just bursting with pride.

Are our priorities messed up?

The State of Alabama could learn much from the University of Alabama. If Alabama wants to be the best, there is a cost. A price to pay. Until we're willing to pay it, we'll limp along with the other bottom-tier states, in most everything but a silly game.

Life in Alabama ain't no Crystal Ball  for the majority of it's citizens, but it could be, if we invested in people like we invest in football. 

We're Number 1 .  Again.

Republicans are pro life but anti health care, go figure

In stunning public disregard for the separation of church and state, Area pastors and local government officials, will be participating in a Pro Life Rally on the steps of the County Courthouse. Don't get me wrong, my problem is not with the joining of politics and religion, but the shear hypocrisy of republicans holding a *cough* pro life rally, especially when two of the elected officials scheduled to attend are fresh off a vote to repeal The Affordable Health Care Act because it's President Obama's idea.

Congressman Robert Aderholt will be the keynote speaker at the Pro Life Rally in Huntsville on Saturday, Jan 22, at Noon.

Who isn't pro life? I mean, really. Do you know of anyone who says they are anti life? What gets me is the righty's don't get the correlation between access to quality affordable health care and life. They are pro life as long as it's in the womb after that all bets are off and Baby you are on your own.

If a bunch of men want to stand outside on a cold winter day and protest a woman's right to choose to have a legal abortion that's their right (no pun). At the end of the rally they will go home and Roe v Wade will still be the law of the land. So it's not about being pro life, it's about being pro choice.

Do they only care about the unborn? Do they not realize the mother and the child need access to quality affordable health care in order to like live?

Do they honestly believe only those who can afford it are the only ones who should have access to quality, affordable health care?Do they honestly believe people don't have health insurance because they don't want to purchase it, but wait for someone to hand it to them?

Do they honestly believe Hospital emergency room treats the uninsured?
And if they believe this who do they think pays for it? Hint the answer starts with the letter T and ends with the letter R.

I don't understand how you can call yourself pro life and be against health care reform at the same time.

These anti-choice politicians are out of touch with Americans’ values and priorities,” said Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL. “These same lawmakers voted to repeal a health-care law that provides prenatal care and the promise of no-cost birth control to women. Now, they want to make it even harder for women to purchase private health insurance that includes abortion coverage with their own money. Their hypocrisy is astounding. It seems that they’re fine with government intrusion, as long as it involves interfering in women’s personal, private decisions.”

Un Huh.

Redeye's Congress Critter Watch~Edit

It was a very good day for CD 7 Congresswoman Terri Sewell, she was elected the most popular new democrat in the freshman class. Yes, that was a snark. Seriously, Sewell was elected to serve as the President of the Democratic Freshman Class for the first session of the 112th Congress. She was also selected to serve as a Senior Whip by House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) and elected by her colleagues to serve as Regional Whip for Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

That's nice, but more importantly, Sewell will serve on the House Committee on Agriculture and the House Committee on Science & Technology. I'm pleased she's on these committees for several reasons. Her service on the Agriculture Committee is important because of the Pickford Settlement for discrimination against black farmers.

The Obama administration announced a $1.25 billion settlement Thursday to resolve charges by thousands of black farmers who say that for decades the Agriculture Department discriminated against them in loan programs.

Cabinet officials exhorted Congress to approve the deal by setting aside money for the farmers, who have fought through three administrations to secure a measure of justice. In the starkest cases, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said, farmers lost their property after local administrators slow-pedaled loan applications, leaving them unable to plant key crops.

Of course the GOP is calling the Pickford Settlement "reparations" but that's just what they do.

Sewell being a member of the Science and Technology Committee is good for North Alabama, having an African American democrat to counter an Obama/Pelosi hating, right-wing republican is good for an area who relies on government contracts.

Speaking of right-wing republican hypocrites from the great state of Alabama, how about this from the annals of oxyMorons....fresh from voting to repeal health care reform Congress Critters Mo Brooks and Robert Aderholt will speak at Huntsville Pastors' Pro-Life Rally. Uh, how can you be pro-life and anti health care?

RedEye Congress Critter Watch over and out....for now.
