Drain Clogs – 12-14-2010

American Action Forum thinktank head Rob Collins (a former aide to Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA)) cannot explain the attack ads produced by his group

Former House candidate Tan Nguyen (R) lied to investigators about a voter suppression scheme. Where were the teabaggers screaming about this voter intimidation? Oh, wait, he only intimidated Spanish-speaking people, so he’s their hero.

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) hates the truth that the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office says, so he just wants to eliminate it.

Glenn Beck thinks 10% of Muslims are terrorists.

The Teabag Caucus requested $1 billion in earmarks. Just ignore how they are “anti-earmark” and are “fiscally responsible”.
