Martin Bashir v. Joe Barton (R-Asshole)

As I had some news on in the background, my attention jumped from my work project to Martin raising his voice. I was confused as to why, until I saw it was that putrid POS congresscritter Barton from Texas. Barton out-teabags teabaggers. When he tried to quote scripture to Bashir, Bashir called him on it, stating (correctly) that the Bible does NOT state, "god helps those who help themselves." Barton admitted that his daddy (a former Wacko Tx. preacher) that this was a lesson taught by him.

He also refused to admit that he is voting to cut 300,000 kids from meals, and several hundred thousand elderly from Meals on Wheels, while supporting additional military spending, and refusing to raise even a penny of tax on the super rich.

Bashir had him on the ropes. If Barton wasn't such an oily, greasy, lying, fetid piece of rotting excrement, (translation - if he had any shame), Barton would have gone on the record that he would change his vote. Instead, Barton remains the hero sandwich of Teabaggers everywhere.

What an interview. If this doesn't start to move public opinion away from the GOP, then our country is doomed.

Barton claims religion but obviously knows nothing about the bible. Bashir nailed his ignorant ass.

Sadly, Barton is my Congresswhore. He represent the oil companies.

I didn't vote for Senator Cornhole.
I didn't vote for Senator Breck Girl.
I didn't vote for Rick Perry.


Millions of Texans with good sense did not vote for any of these recta.

who finally paid off a six figure child support debt. (I tried to check out the court record. Somehow, they got "lost" even to attorneys wishing to look at a file. they ARE public records, to some extent).
