Dem Congressman: ‘We Aren’t Transparent’

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "At times, I find the caucus is a real disappointment. We aren't transparent, not just to the public but at times to the members," [Rep. Joe] Sestak, a Delaware County Democrat, said in a meeting with Tribune-Review editors and reporters.

Yes, you are a Marxist AzzzPiper…a good candidate for GItmo along with the rest of the OATH BREAKERS in Congress. Time they should payback the taxpaers. Boil their fat at Gitmo and repay taxpayers. Stop supporting the millions of mouths welfare army. Work or leave. Illegals are illegal and should be removed. Shoot all illegals thereafter trying to enter.

All demoRats and envoroTerroists should be prosecuted for global fraud and illegal destruction of civilization, truth, science, and freedom. I would execute them if possible. This kind of FRAUD should be punishable by very serious consequences. WORK POUNDING ICE IN AN artic gitmo. sEEYA AZZZZZpILERS…sieize and forfeit their familialwealth, the Dodd’s castles in Ireland and such…the worst group of criminals ever in Office…all Democrats!!!

FLUSH HARDER!!!

Hey, you democrat dip-sh.!.t – why don’t you strap on some b@l.ls and either quit, or change ranks to a republican? If I was on a team that was so demonstrably evil, I wouldn’t just sit there and whine.

Pa.Opinion   January 7th, 2010 - 10:00 am

Sorry Joe..even though you’re right..
don’t back peddle now since you’re behind in the polls.

too little, too late

Scott Fox   January 7th, 2010 - 10:51 am

Seemed like a genuine man to me. Probably pandering and probably too little too late, but he’s got the right idea.

I would disagree that a Congressman passing more legislation is good thing. Please, please, get out of our lives and stop screwing up the country.

The Congress is inept, and aside from the disgusting amount of power they wield, irrelevant. What’s the Congressional approval rating? Close to single digits? If they had any dignity, they’d all resign and let the American people handle their own affairs.

SmartestOne   January 7th, 2010 - 12:46 pm

Well I was with the guy until he started invoking Sam Nunn (GAG!) and subsequently started tooting his own horn… i.e., about 1 minute into the video.

BS Alert!   January 7th, 2010 - 12:57 pm

This guy is just more “Bait and switch” politics. More lies to get elected.

You got transe%uals, why do you want transparency?

Change Monger   January 7th, 2010 - 1:42 pm

He gets no pass.

“Your always going to know where I stand”????
Where was this before the Christmas Eve vote???

Why did he vote for it? Had he not voted, he would have more time to push his new founded *transparency* virtues.

MotherRedDog   January 7th, 2010 - 2:02 pm

Hey Joe,

I guess you aren’t planning on running again, or winning at least. Those politicians that are running around touting their utter shock and dismay at this process and trying to say you don’t agree and aren’t like that…………………well, guess what, yes you are. You’ll vote for this bill with the American people funding the killing of millions of babies. It will happen. Even if you get to vote no, you knew that your amendment would never be in the final bill.

As far as I’m concerned, and many others just like me, when you voted “aye” after this amendment was added, you were the vote that passed this gigantic spending bill called “health reform” on to the Senate. You could have stopped this then, but you caved to your liberal brothers and sisters and did not listen to your voters.

Dick Sicario Las Vegas. NV   January 7th, 2010 - 2:03 pm

You sure are transparent sir, and because of if you and the rest of your idiot comrads will be voted out of office in 2010 & 2012.

Dr. Scott   January 7th, 2010 - 2:06 pm

Sir: You ARE transparent…politically, morally, socially, professionally. Or if you aren’t please have the dignity to pack up and collect your ego from the hatcheck and leave the public service arena.

ANYONE in either the House of Representatives or the Senate, regardless whether you vote up or down on healthcare and the myriad of other questionable bills, or regarless of your political affiliation, if you agree to NOT abide by the same rules and laws you enact you have no business being in your position. Go away. How can you exempt yourself from the healthcare bindings you are about to impose on those who put you in office?

In “Brown v. Topeka” the Supreme Court tackled the separate-but-equal issue only now you’ve obfuscated that too by proving you are not only separate from the rest of us but you don’t have to abide by your own rulings.

Why a good Constitutional lawyer hasn’t filed a writ of replevin against you on behalf of the American tax payer baffles me. We need injunctive relief from 535 miscreants (a noun, meaning black sheep, blackguard, bootlegger, bully, cad, caitiff, convict, criminal, culprit, delinquent, drunkard, evildoer, felon, fink, heel, hoodlum, jailbird, loafer, louse, lowlife, malefactor, outcast, outlaw, pickpocket, racketeer, rapscallion, rascal, rat, reprobate, rowdy, ruffian, scalawag, scamp, scoundrel, scum*, sinner, sneak, vagabond, villain, wretch, wrongdoer, or adjective, meaning one who is evil and corrupt with the following synomyms: corrupt, criminal, degenerate, depraved, flagitious, infamous, iniquitous, nefarious, perverse, rascally, reprehensible, reprobate, unhealthy, unprincipled, vicious, villainous, wicked.

My FEAR is that many will think this is sincere…so many will still vote for democrats. They are all socialists at the least, pinko dictator supporters…all of this is just to get re-elected…and so many dimwits will do it. You can not fix stupid…only out vote them.

Just like a murderer that got caught….he is so sorry……that he got caught!!!

blorg   January 7th, 2010 - 9:29 pm

Southpark had it right: everyone running for office; either a big giant douche or a turd sandwich. Amazingly enough, this guy is both!

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   January 7th, 2010 - 11:20 pm

Listen up…you moderate and/or conservative Democratzi…you have shown by your allegiance to party over consituency that you are not worthy to represent Americans!

You sat by, and even voted for all this damming legislation that is destroying our economy and saddling our children and their children with a debt they can never hope to repay!

Do you not realize what you have done to your own children? Are you that deaf, dumb and blind that you do not see what you have done to America and the free country we had hoped to leave to our children?

You are a terrible parent who has saddled your children and taken away their birthright of a free America!

You are despicable…and you need to go home…you are just one of the ’slugs of 60″!

America…we need to dismantle the voting base of one Bilderberg Bush-Obama! Without those ’slugs of 60′ none of this damming trillion dollar legislation would have been passed and that includes those (3) Republican turncoats of Spector, Snowe and Collins!

America…we need to take away the voting leverage and make him a lame duck until impeachment hearings can take place!

But we cannot wait until November…the elections beging with Massachusetts on January 19th for the dead legacy seat of the Kennedys!

Scott Brown is a fiscal conservative running for this race!

If you live in Massachusetts and want to change things in Washington, you must first change things in Massachusetts by electing a conservative to this seat!

You must talk to your friends, neighbors and family and tell them about the attributes and experience of Scott Brown.

You must volunteer on the local level to get the word to your community to get out the vote for freedom!

Massachusetts you had the ‘first’ tea party that sent the ’shot heard round the world’ that started the first American revolutiion.

Now be a historical part of getting out the vote and the victory for the ‘vote heard round the world’ that will signal the start of the Voter Revolution of 2010!

If you don’t live in Massachusetts, you can still be a part of this historical moment.

Got to brownforussenate.com and give what you can to help him make a difference! I did my part, now please do yours to insure victory in Massachusetts!

United we stand to take back our government, divided we all fall with America at the hands of the ‘mentally disabled’ Democratzi!

—————————————————–

THE REVOLUTION OF THE SILENT MAJORITY!

1. GETTING INFORMED
2. GETTING INVOLVED
3. GETTING OUT THE VOTE

WE WILL REMOVE THE ‘MENTALLY UNSTABLE’ DEMOCRATZI STARTING ON JANUARY 19TH IN MASSACHUSETTS, INTO 2010 AND BEYOND…GUARANTEED!

IMPEACHMENT OR THE ‘ORIGINAL’ KENYAN BIRTH CERTIFICATE…IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME!

Army of Davids   January 7th, 2010 - 11:57 pm

Tea Party in Massachusetts?

Army of Davids   January 7th, 2010 - 11:57 pm

Tea Party in Massachusetts for Brown?

I like that idea.

FastFacts   January 8th, 2010 - 12:22 am

I sure hope they have too. Obviously the Dems never learned before they took over the Congress from the Republicans. The fact is that right now they just don’t care what the American people want. They will do what they want thinking is right even if the American people say otherwise. They don’t believe they will be booted out because the majority won’t speak out. But look at what is happening, people are finally starting to stand up.

I constantly hear, “It will never change.” Shame on you for thinking that. If we believed that we would still be under British rule. We would still be stuck outside the industrial revolution, the Berlin Wall wouldn’t have come down, and the Health Care bill would have been passed by now. Politicians have taken the place of mobsters. They have some who fear them, some that admire them, others who work with them to get favors from them, and those that fight against them. Then you have the rest of the people, those that do nothing, passive, lazy, ignorant, or just believe, “things will never change.”

America is starting to stand up against the corruption in DC. You and I are at the forefront because we are here today. Question is, will we stand for what is right and take back our country. Will we allow special interests, back room deals, and other corrupt agendas control this countries future or will we stand up against it. WE MUST STAND UP AND CALL FOR TRUE CHANGE.

I’m from Sestak’s district and I can tell you firsthand this is all bunk. He’s only saying this things as he’s running for Specter’s seat now.

It was reported in the paper that calls were running 10-1 against the stimulus bill, but he went and voted for it anyhow. Tbqh, instead of representing pa in the congress, he represents the DNC in PA.
