The Partisan Cowardice of Betty McCollum!

Trey Gowdy is a representative from South Carolina, below is his impassioned speech he gave prior to the contempt vote.  Gowdy is a former DOJ prosecutor, and sums up why Eric Holder's contempt vote should be taken seriously, and isn't a partisan witchhunt!

Lets remember why Fast and Furious is a big deal...As a result of Fast and Furious, over 200 Mexicans were killed, and two US law enforcement agents, Brian Terry and Jaime Zapata.  Over 200 people died from weapons that the US Government provided to criminals as part of an investigation.  Again, over 200 people died!  That is why this is a big deal.

Today was the day that the House of Representatives voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over internal documents discussing the Justice Department’s botched Operation Fast and Furious gun-tracking program.  During the investigation, led by Congressman Darrell Issa, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee and Senator Charles Grassley, ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee have been accused by Democrats of racism and conducting a witch hunt. Seriously? Again, over 200 people died.  Brian Terry's family deserves an answer.  Jaime Zapata's family deserves an answer.  200 Mexicans families deserve an answer, and the Mexican government deserves an answer.  The American people deserve answers.


Then we have MN CD 4's very own Betty McCollum.  Remember, Betty is the one who denied God in Congress as she led the Pledge of Allegiance, doesn't believe voter fraud exists, supports Hamas instead of Israel, and doesn't see the value of budgets. As you can see, Betty IS an intellectual lightweight!  


I called Betty's office to ask if she had a statement on the upcoming contempt vote on Eric Holder, and I was told Betty had no statement.  I reminded the young lady who responded, that in 2007, Betty called for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales resignation for firing DOJ attorneys.  She didn't have a response, just thanked me for calling.  


Today, Betty did issue a statement which called the contempt proceedings against Eric Holder "Shameful and Shameless", a "Witchunt" and again blamed the Tea Party.  She also said Fast and Furious was a program from the Bush era; it isn't.  This graphic explains the differences in the two programs, but Betty never lets the facts get in the way when trying to smear anyone who doesn't prescribe to her far left ideology.

As today's events around the contempt proceedings unfolded, one could assume Betty would vote against contempt.  Remember, there are 2 dead law enforcement agents, and over 200 dead Mexicans.  One would think our representatives would put policy above politics, but not Betty.  She joined fellow Minnesota representative, Keith Ellison, and the Congressional Black Caucus in walking out of the vote in protest!

From Betty's Twitter stream!

And, there they go! (pic referred to in Betty's tweet)

The sad part is, Betty McCollum is putting politics ahead of doing the right thing.  Two law enforcement officers dead, 200 Mexicans dead, and Betty, as well as the rest that didn't participate in the contempt vote felt it was more important to make a political statement.  


What a slap in the face to the families of Brian Terry and Jaime Zapata!  The families want answers, and Betty and the others only think of themselves.  Thankfully, the contempt vote passed 255-67 with 109 not voting!  Yep, Betty was among the 109 (as well as Keith Ellison).  Betty McCollum is no Trey Gowdy!!!

If you are disgusted by what Betty did today, you can let her know on Twitter @BettyMcCollum04 or on her Facebook pages:

You can also let Keith Ellison know how you feel:

FYI...Betty doesn't like free speech, and your comments will more than likely be deleted; she only likes comments from those that agree with her!

Betty, November is coming, and your constituents will remember your actions today!  As your actions represent your district, and I don't think your district would approve of what you did today! If you want Betty ousted, please share this blog with all your friends and neighbors.

MN Rep D Betty McCollum On Voter Fraud (there isn't any)!

Also see Betty McCollum, Congress's Intellectual Leader!


Keep up the work constituents of MNCD4; every bit helps.  From letters to the editor, tweets, facebook, blogs, Collett yard signs, telling your neighbors etc...spread the word on what Betty hasn't done for MNCD4.  

If you are new to this blog, read how Betty McCollum denies God in Congress, supports the terrorist group Hamas and is anti-Israel.  Or just ask yourself, with the recent revelation of voter fraud in St. Paul, why would Betty McCollum deny voter fraud is a problem?  But more importantly, what has Betty done for MNCD4? 

Remember, if you see me, please honk!  

Betty McCollum, Congress's Intellectual Leader, Says Voter Fraud Isn't a Problem

Thanks go out to another MN CD 4 voter for sending this to me.  The Mad Voter Army is growing; if you have a tip on Betty McCollum that you think I should write about, please contact me.

This video is from a debate during the 2008 election when Betty ran against Ed Mathews.



Betty is asked if she "Would support a national law that requires voters to prove their US citizenship to vote".  As you saw with her answer, they know Betty at her polling place.  I find this oxymoronic since Betty is never in Minnesota, and we can't find her with a search party; secondly, OF COURSE they know you, you are a member of Congress!!!

See what we are working with here in St. Paul?  Betty struggled with answering this question.  It wasn't that hard of a question (future post coming on another topic that challenged Betty), but you can really see her working hard to get that hamster to spool up the energy in her head.  Betty then delivers some nonsensical answer without even answering the question (and the audiences laughter at Betty and her facial reaction is priceless).  I guess you could say she answered it through her denial of voter fraud.

I would love to see her debate Teresa Collett, but seeing Betty's challenge answering this simple question (this is the first time I have ever seen her debate) makes me doubt that Betty will accept Teresa's challenge to 4 debates.  If you would like to see Betty debate Teresa Collett, please sign the petition here.

Betty, when I voted for Teresa Collett in last week's primary at my Inver Grove Heights polling station, they didn't remember me from when I voted for John McCain in 2008.  I was pissed! I had to wait while they looked up my name, people were looking at me; it was embarassing!  To help them out, I gave them my drivers license so they could look up my name; it worked pretty slick, and it only took a second.

Funny that Betty would say that voter fraud isn't an issue; she is an ACORN supporter, and voted against defunding ACORN.  Remember, ACORN has been implicated in heavy voter fraud that favors the democrats.  This was also the battle between Norm Coleman and the comedian Al Franken, which was decided by 344 votes!  There is so much concern with voter fraud in Betty's district that Rep. Darrell Issa sent Secretary of State Mark Ritchie a letter regarding voter fraud in Betty's district.

Interestingly this took place in the 2008 election cycle, and what was revealed in June in a report done by Minnesota Majority?  Voter fraud in Minnesota; namely in Betty's district.

Betty, the people working in the polling stations don't know everyone that comes to vote, and to ensure a fair election, we should prove our residency!  As usual, you are out of touch with your constituents, as reflected by them laughing at you and your answer.

Again Betty, you have proven you aren't intellectualy qualified for the job you hold, and that you are in over your head.  The people of MN CD 4 are on to you, and we can't wait to vote you out!
