Betty McCollum Votes Against Audit of the Federal Reserve!

Ever since the government started printing money the last few years, there have been cries to audit the Fed.  Since the Fed operates in a black box, American's have to trust they are making good decisions with our money.  Many don't think the Fed is making good decisions, and want transparency into the Fed's operations.

One good thing about Betty McCollum, she wants transparency!  Yes, she does (when it suits her)...

From Betty's statement of record on H.R. 3606:

Moreover, H.R. 3606 would allow large banking institutions with hundreds of billions of dollars in assets to de-register and escape SEC regulations that ensure corporate transparency, integrity, and accountability.


Brilliant, Betty wants transparency in banking...but not of the Fed.

In a press release, Betty describes her role on a board that sought transparency in international financial institutions:


Congresswoman McCollum is the former board chair (2007-2008) of the Parliamentary Network on the World Bank (PNoWB), an international organization of parliamentarians dedicated to increased accountability and transparency in International Financial Institutions and multilateral development financing. 


In a hearing on Medicaid fraud, Betty accuses Governor Pawlenty administration of not being open on negotiated Medicaid contracts, but loves Governor Dayton's transparency:

For eight years, the Republican administration of Governor Tim Pawlenty negotiated Medicaid contracts with health plans with little to no transparency. If the terms of these contracts were negotiated poorly or if they allowed waste and abuse to take place, then this committee has an obligation to investigate. Unfortunately, those members of the Pawlenty administration responsible for negotiating on behalf of taxpayers are not here to testify.

Starting in January 2011, Democratic Governor Mark Dayton's administration took action to increase transparency, accountability, and value for taxpayers. Commissioner Jesson is here to testify and she is to be commended for implementing reforms that should be a guide for every other state – particularly in states where for-profit managed care organizations may be extracting massive taxpayer funded profits.

In Betty's 2010 Newsletter, she brags about the transparency that the Wall Street Reform Act will provide (banks again):


"The time when Wall Street is allowed to gamble with the economic security of the American people is over. With these reforms a new age of financial accountability and transparency is about to begin. This legislation protects taxpayers and their retirement funds, college accounts, and home mortgages from risky decisions by CEOs, lenders, and speculators," said McCollum.


Another statement by Betty on financial system reform, and demonizing banks:


"Rebuilding the American economy and putting people back to work requires a financial sector that is regulated and required to behave responsibly. The era of Wall Street gambling with the economic security of the American people is over, and a new age of financial accountability and transparency is about to begin. The passage of this legislation protects taxpayers and their retirement funds, college accounts, and homes from risky decisions by CEOs, lenders, and speculators. This is an excellent bill which needs to become the law."


So transparency of private financial institutions, domestic and international is good, but auditing the Fed is bad?  Thankfully, the bill to audit the Fed passed 327-98!  If Betty didn't have double-standards, she wouldn't have standards at all!

Did Betty McCollum Release Classified Information During 21 Oct 2010 Debate?

Betty adamantly claims Al Qaeda no longer poses a threat to the United States!  As you will see in the video, this information directly contradicts the testimony of Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Homeland Security, and Robert Mueller, FBI Director and Michael Leiter, Director of US National Counter Terrorism Center.

The question is, did Betty release classified information...


Or is Betty just dense...











I will go with the latter...there is no way the government would entrust with her matters of national security.  Heck, Betty couldn't even get a budget done (and you saw how important she feels a budget is), and she is on the budget committee!

MN Rep D Betty McCollum Answers Question Without Answering Question at WBL Debate!

This is from the White Bear Area Chamber of Comm Cand. Forum on 9/21.  Here we have Betty McCollum at it again.  It's obvious they were given the questions in advance, so one would think Betty would be prepared to answer the question...



You can see the hamster spooling up to full power as Betty struggles to start her response.  Betty continues on with DFL rabble-rowser nonsense.  Uhm, sure Betty...tell that to the millions still unemployed, and businesses who see flat revenues as a victory!  Tell that to the businesses that are to nervous to do anything because of the uncertainty of government regulations and taxes.

Betty, you say you talk to businesses?  Sure you do, I read about it in your press releases!  And the ones you talk to (nice businesses, I am familiar with some of them) are getting federal money.  Well, I DO to.  I work with small and mid-size manufacturers and distributors in my real job, and I don't hear the positive spin you are putting on.  I hear how they are nervous, and don't know what is coming next.  I hear how they can't get loans, how they are losing customers because they are going out of business, how they had to let staff go and are concerned about healthcare reform.  It is like you read right from the DFL script.  Gee, why would that be hard to believe?

What was really surprising is, you never answered the question.  "What are you doing in Washington to fix the economy"?

Sputnik?
Then China?
What are you talking about?
Clean technologies?

I agree, we need to get to clean technologies...but, that is a ways down the road, and the government can't be subsidizing clean technologies (which the DFL wants to do, but that is another topic).  In the meantime, we need the government to stay out of business, not a cheerleader for more policies on business.  What was the question Betty?

Teresa Collett, then proceeds to slap Betty down...

Betty, I am optimistic about our future too, that is after Nov. 2nd!

MN Rep D Betty McCollum Supports Nancy Pelosi (still)!

Ok, right now Democrats that are up for re-election are running as fast as they can from Nancy Pelosi, Obama, Tarp, Obamacare and many of their other silly votes that spent our money.  Today it has even come up that she is losing support in her own party to be re-elected as House Speaker!

Now, we know Betty McCollum is not an intellectual heavyweight, so one would think if you are running for re-election in a hotly contested contest, Betty might distance herself from Nancy Pelosi and their controversial bills they passed.  Oh no, not MNCD4's own mental midget.  She comes right out and says she supports Nancy Pelosi!



Betty, really?  Of course you support her.  First off you forgot to mention Jim Oberstar.  Secondly, why is Nancy bringing the Minnesota delegation together?  There are 8 representatives from MN in Congress, why don't you pull yourselves together and do what is best for Minnesota, instead of San Francisco?

If you don't know who Teresa Collett is, I urge you to spend some time learning about her positions.

Betty McCollum must be the only Democrat running on the "I Support Nancy Pelosi" platform...I told you she isn't very bright!

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!
