OOPS. Those pesky facts are back again …
Congresswoman Renee Ellmers prides herself on being quite savvy with social media. She’s frequently on Twitter and Facebook touting her work and her alleged conservative bona fides. People like Miss Harnett County run into problems when their self-promoting Tweets run afoul of reality and their earlier actions. We dug up these two recent tweets from Ellmers’s official Twitter account:
She’s bashing Obama for the increase in federal debt AND the sequester. The problem: SHE VOTED FOR the 2011 legislation that (1) gave us the sequester and (2) raised the debt ceiling by more than $2 trillion. In other words, she helped give the country both things she’s attacking Big Barry for. Why on Earth would ANYONE vote FOR something they know to be a “bad idea”?
The gnashing of teeth , by House Republicans, over raising the debt ceiling, never ceases to amaze me. To stay below the ceiling, they must approve a budget that does so. They didn’t, and here we are. No big mystery. The drastic cuts of the “Sequester” are another false debate. Drastic reduction of increase is closer to reality. The Potomac Two Step is alive and well in our Capitol.
The weakling beltway GOP establishment, in the person of Speaker Boehner is pulling her puppet strings. She should realize that she is the representative of her district in Washington, not Washington’s representative to her district.
Yep, I saw Renee at her office, greeting lobbyists lined up to meet her. She and they seemed to have quite the love fest going on. I am thinking she needs to go. I
