Pennsylvania House GOP candidate Mike Kelly Will Divine the Answers Only if Elected
During a debate Thursday night, Pennsylvania House GOP candidate Mike Kelly was asked by the moderator to name “specific” cuts he would make to the federal budget. Kelly clearly understood the question, since he repeated the word “specific” in his response no less than 8 times.This might be the new century right-wing conservative version of faith based politics. Kelly, Fiorina, Miller and Angle have no answers - just have faith in them they're figure it out once they start collecting a pay check from tax payers. Its like a kid who says give me the keys to the fighter jet I'll figure out how to fly it once I get in the cockpit.
But despite mentioning the word “specific,” there was nothing actually specific in Kelly’s response. Eight times Kelly rebuffed his own insistence that he would address the issue “very specifically.” His excuses ran the gamut, from “let me get there and I’ll figure it out” to “I can’t tell you,” and from “the specificity is in the process” to “I’d tear it apart”
[ ]...Of course, Kelly is not alone in his refusal to give specific ways he would cut the federal budget. Just last week, California Senate nominee Carly Fiorina (R) was asked by Chris Wallace seven separate times which expenditures she would cut, only to rebuff the Fox News Sunday host each time. As ThinkProgress has noted, decrying the federal budget deficit while simultaneously offering no specific solutions to reduce it has quickly become a rite of passage for GOP candidates this election.
Rep. Peter DeFazio Investigating Impeachment For Chief Justice John Roberts - Rep. DeFazio probably won't get anywhere but at least he is focusing attention on one of the worse Supreme Court decisions of all time (Citizens United) and the fact it was made by conservatives who - for some weird reason think corporations are people.
