Rep. Patrick McHenry (LOL)
Written by Michael on January 28th, 2009It takes a lot to make me post but I actually choked on my dinner when watching Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) froth at the mouth about the government spending $1 million a year on providing small tax breaks to companies who encourage bicycling to work and money to promote the improvement of bicycling infrastructure in urban areas. Of course, I’m biased as a cyclist but $1 million a year? Seriousy, Rep, McHenry. That’s what you chose to stand up and call out in this $819 BILLION stimulus package?
Worse, Mr. McHenry pitches this as if this is the Democrats’ pillar of their energy policy. Regardless of your political affiliation, I think you’ll find this guy laughable.

that is silly, but there are alot of extras that the Dems put into the bill which their voters choose to ignore out of ignorance or loyalty so really it goes on both sides, Democrats just think that their poop don’t stink.
I had to edit it because I think the first way I phrased it might not go through the moderators.

I agree Kevin but of all the stuff McHenry could have chosen to argue about, he picks one for just $1 million (not billion) over a year and it’s for promoting bicycling (and actually offers a *gasp* tax credit). There’s lots of this stuff on both sides but this one nearly made me choke on my breakfast.

HOW DID THIS TOOL GET ELECTED?!!!
THIS MORON IS SO FAR FROM MAKING SENSE OR EVEN SAYING SOMETHING VALUABLE, IT HURTS ME TO EVEN THINK I WASTED 2 MINUTES LISTENING TO HIM.
