Is Peter Roskam Taking the War Against Democracy to Honduras? HSIK

On 10.01.09, In Foreign Policy, Honduras, Organized Labor, Peter Roskam, By RSR

So is Creepy Pete Roskam off to Honduras or what? Read this Tweet from Pete a little while ago:

Heading to Honduras tomorrow on a CODEL to meet with gov officials and hear about efforts to ensure a free and fair election in November.

“OMG”, I said to myself.  “HFAC. Is he emigrating PTL?” “But WTF is a CODEL?” “Some kind of an airplane?” And then it came to me… “CODEL” is tweetish for Congressional Delegation”.  “He’s going to Honduras to help the military junta that recently overthrew the democratically-elected President, Manuel Zelaya, maintain its grip on power and continue to crush the life out of the poor and the unions.” “Now it makes sense”, I chuckled. “LOL”. “WAJ”. Nothing like a bunch of Republicans to ensure a “free and fair election” is there?

So I went online to check it out and I find that, sure enough, Roskam’s bedfellow Jim DeMint (ideological that is, GAGFI but I think he’s  STR8) from South Carolina (SUFID), is planning an excursion to Honduras to meet with the phony government, PRT, 420, LIK, and maybe score some MOOS action like Sanford. But then I read that John Kerry (HP, SSC) says to DeMint “RMLB You can’t go!” .  So now I don’t know. May be the I&I is off for now and Roskam is SUAC. LMFAO. KYFC.

Peter Roskam Refuses to Rebuke Joe Wilson for “You Lie” Outburst

On 09.22.09, In Friends of Peter Roskam, Healthcare, Peter Roskam, Wingnuts, By RSR

From reading the logs, I know that quite a number of you have visited herewanting to find out how Peter Roskam voted last Tuesday in the house resolution to rebuke Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina for shouting out “You lie!” during the President’s address on healthcare before a joint session of Congress.

The House voted to adopt the resolution by a margin of 240-179.  Peter Roskam voted “No”. The resolution was pretty simple and benign:

Whereas the conduct of the Representative from South Carolina was a breach of decorum and degraded the proceedingsf the joint session, to the discredit of the House: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the House of Representatives disapproves of the behavior of the Representative from South Whereas the conduct of the Representative from South Carolina was a breach of decorum and degraded the proceedings of the joint session, to the discredit of the House: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the House of Representatives disapproves of the behavior of the Representative from South Carolina, Mr. Wilson, during the joint session of Congress held on September 9, 2009.

Roskam’s refusal to vote in favor demonstrates how disingenuous were his remarks about the outburst after the speech and signals Roskam’s tacit endorsement of all of the hate and ugliness and nonsense being peddled by those who oppose the President’s efforts to make decent healthcare available to all Americans:
