Nan Hayworth (R-NY-19) Can Drive Me Nuts...


Since she's been in my member of Congress, federal spending has gone up 5%.

And now I read this...

The congressional committee tasked with reducing the federal deficit is poised to admit defeat as soon as Monday, and its unfinished business will set up a year-end battle over emergency jobless benefits and an expiring payroll tax holiday.

Democrats...consider particularly urgent the need to extend jobless benefits and the one-year payroll tax cut.

[T]he payroll tax cut, enacted last December...would [if extended] add more than $100 billion to budget deficits and [further] reduce Social Security’s dedicated financing stream.

Rep. Nan Hayworth of New York said she is “extremely sympathetic to extending” the payroll tax holiday...

Unfrigg'nbelieveable, huh...?!?!

Oh... and then there's this...

New York Rep. Nan Hayworth (R) threw her support behind Mitt Romney on Friday [November 4].

Yeah... Romney...

Obviously I'm appalled. (Not surprised, though...)

Hey... folks... is Nan a real improvement over John Hall? Damn right! But don't ever mistake Dr. Nan Alison Sutton Hayworth for a Tea Party stalwart. She's not. She's certain more "Right" than "Left," but beyond that she's your basic Republican establishment pol.

When push comes to shove, Nan Hayworth will back the likes of a John Boehner - or a Mitt Romney - and that's just the way it is.

Very heartbreaking my friend...

remarkable that the Republicans are about to nominate someone who believes in Keynesian stimulus and having the Federal Reserve print more money.
