Bruce Alpert, Washington Bureau wrote in the Times Picayune of 2/21 what appears to be a flattering article on Scalise (according to the title) but when one reads the article there is no mistake about Scalise's warped ideology.
The "professor" (Bruce's description) Scalise gave President Obama an F for his first year in office. Scalise also said, In this time in our country's history, when there's so much at stake and real concerns about the direction of our country, we got to fight because if the liberal democratic leadership gets their way, I think they could destroy our country. Its obvious that Scalise has the Obama administration mixed up with the Bush administration and what they did to the country and Mr. Scalise was there. It is also obvious Mr. Scalise thinks conservatives are the elite and should make all decisions for America and its people. If one uses Scalise's rating scale I guess Bush deserves a triple F minus.
Mr. Alpert says Scalise has cultivated some Democratic friends but could only name two. It was pointed out that Scalise voted 98% of the time with his party in 2009. Just another ditto head with no original thought. In Sept. 2009 the U.S. House voted in favor of the biggest overhaul of college aid programs. The CBO said the legislation would save the tax payers $87 billion. Mr. Scalise voted against that bill. Representative Cao voted yes.
Scalise also voted no in Nov. of 09 against the extension of unemployment insurance. The Louisiana Workforce Commission said 6829 Louisiana residents would be eligible. Scalise was only one of 12 to vote against the measure and the only one representing Louisiana that voted no.
The article talks about Scalise sharp tongue. That is a ditto head mantra because conservatives have nothing to offer. Like talking about the federal deficit after they bankrupted the country. Scalise was part of the republican administration that gave the country the largest one year deficit in the country's history, $1.4 trillion in Mr. Bush's last fiscal year budget and Scalise was silent.
Mr. Scalise and the conservatives see what every one is starting to realize. The economy is getting better, jobs losses have been reversed and Mr. Scalise like his fellow conservatives can not stand to see the country and its people return to the prosperity they deserve. And what is more frustrating to the ditto heads is that it is happening on a democrats watch. That drives them crazy.

I laugh everytime I read an article concerning Scalise's comments. He is such a boring guy with the same old talking points. You are so right, he is one of many republicans who has nothing to offer.
