Steve King is a loathsome POS
Rep. Steve King: The ‘best vote’ I ever cast in Congress was opposing Katrina relief
Rep. Steve King In a new interview with The Hill, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) reveals his proudest moment as a lawmaker:
THE HILL: What vote would you like to redo?
KING: I don’t really go back and re-live that sort of thing. Some of the big votes that I’ve thought about, some of the jury’s still out. And at this point, maybe I’d answer that question another way, probably the singular vote that stands out that went against the grain, and it turns out to be the best vote that I cast, was my “no” vote to the $51.5 billion to [Hurricane] Katrina. That probably was my best vote. But as far as doing something different again, I don’t know.
King was one of just 11 members of Congress to vote against the $52 billion aid package. (It passed unanimously in the Senate.) Media Matters Action Network’s Matt Finkelstein writes, “Katrina killed 1,464 in Louisiana alone and uprooted the lives of countless others all over the gulf region. Yet, King says this was his ‘best’ moment in Congress. Not fighting for ‘conservative principles’ like smaller government, lower taxes, or a strong national defense – no, he’s most proud of opposing relief for victims of a catastrophe.”</em>
Ever get the feeling when reading the heartless nonsense spewed in DC that these people no longer realize- or care- that they are talking about people? King has no problem allocating billions to kill Iraqis…but won’t spend the money to save Americans.
The word is…ghoul.
