Ike Skelton needs to GO
Advertisements [?]
This from OpEdNews today:

"Democratic Representative Ike Skelton from Missouri was overheard by a Wall Street Journal reporter at a hearing for Army Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker, who were about to testify about current conditions in Iraq. He leaned over to say this to Republican Representative Duncan Hunter, “That really pisses me off down there, those assholes.”

Dem. Rep. Ike Skelton again was overheard saying, “Out they go,” as at least a half-dozen protesters were arrested and escorted out of the hearing. Skelton was visibly irritated. He said “Are they gone?” to nobody specific after all the “assholes” had been removed.
Forget that these may be your constituents, Mr. Skelton. Forget that these protesters voted for your party to come in and take control of Iraq and bring the troops home in November last year. Forget that your party has failed. Let’s examine the hard fact that you have ignored one congressman’s plan for no apparent or logical reason....."

I sent the entire thing to Pelosi AND to Skelton. These are exactly the type of Bush Dogs we need to replace in 2008, if not sooner.

I urge everyone to write or call your critters. This guy is the asshole, not the protestors. Ferrchrissake. People wonder where all the protestors are?? We need more people like Code Pink, MoveOn.org, and anyone who is standing up and demanding their right to freedom of speech and assembly.
