Since MN Rep D Betty McCollum Won't Answer This Question, I Will

Another great post from our friends at the True North Blog.

Since Betty McCollum Won't Answer This Question, I Will

Written by Douglas Bass

Monday, 04 October 2010 23:27

Betty McCollum was asked a question by a constituent at the so-called "DFL Town Hall Rally" on September 13.  I'm not reproducing it exactly, but it was something like this: the national debt was thus-and-such [$5.67 trillion] when you were first elected to Congress in 2000, and now it's $13.56 trillion.  How much of the increase in the national debt do you attribute to your Congressional votes?" I'm not reproducing Betty's answer exactly, but I did take notes.  She said that at the end of the Clinton administration, we were looking at trillion dollar surpluses as far as the eye could see.  She voted against the Bush tax cuts.  When 9/11 came, she voted for military action in Afghanistan, but she voted for paying for it.  She said she knew there were no WMD's in Iraq, she voted against the Iraq war multiple times, and the massive amounts of money spent on it. She said that there was a Republican administration for eight of those ten years.  In short, she was proud of the votes she cast, and wasn't going to apologize to anyone about her votes. I have already gotten the bile out of my system about Betty giving a boastful, buck-passing non-answer to a constituent.  I don't think I'll ever be a Representative, but if I ever am, I'll never, never, never treat a constituent like that.  Ok, maybe I haven't gotten all the bile out of my system about Betty's response.  But I thought to myself at the time, "Hmm, that might be a good thing to investigate." It has been pointed out by quite a few people of the strong ties between Betty McCollum and Speaker Nancy Pelosi.  They are ideologically compatible, and they bonded early in McCollum's House career when Pelosi asked McCollum in 2001 to give the speech nominating Pelosi for the post of Democratic Whip.  Pelosi held the post of Democratic Whip from 2001 to 2003.   I'm seeing conflicting information regarding the position Betty McCollum holds within the Democratic Party.  Betty's website says she "holds the prestigious position of Senior Democratic Whip within the House Democratic Caucus."  But apparently that's a different position than House Majority Whip, currently held by James Clyburn. Betty is also not one of the nine House members who are part of Clyburn's Whip team. dKosopedia mentions her as a "Regional Whip."  But the thing I want to point out from this is that Betty is not just your average Democrat Representative.  Betty is part of the Democrat House leadership. UPDATE: A gentleman at Betty McCollum's Washington DC office informed me that the Democratic party has roughly 30 whips, and Betty is a senior member of that group of 30 whips, even though she is not in the post of Majority Whip, and is not a member of James Clyburn's Whip team.  Furthermore, while Betty was a Regional Whip in a previous Congress, she is no longer a Regional Whip, so the information at dKosopedia is no longer accurate There is another thing I discovered about Betty that is probably not known by very many people.  It is my understanding that Betty has served on the House Appropriations Committee since entering Congress, but I didn't know that she serves on both the the Appropriations and Budget Committees.  The Wikipedia page for Betty McCollum says: McCollum is a member of the House Appropriations Committee, where she is the only Minnesotan. At the start of the 111th Congress, McCollum was also appointed to the United States House Budget Committee. Under normal circumstances, House Democrats aren't allowed to serve on another committee when they also serve on one of the chamber's four exclusive "A" committees--Appropriations, Energy and Commerce, Rules, and Ways and Means. However, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and committee chairman Henry Waxman granted McCollum a waiver allowing her to take a second committee slot. This is more evidence to show that Betty McCollum is not your average Democrat Representative.  Say what you will about Betty McCollum, call her clueless, call her a trained ideological seal, call her forgetful about the Pledge of Allegiance, she has been remarkably successful at the game of attaining powerful positions by being connected with powerful people, and leveraging those connections.  She hitched her wagon to then-Democratic-Whip- candidate Nancy Pelosi's star, and she has been rewarded handsomely in multiple ways for her faithful service as now-Speaker Pelosi's handmaiden. I'm writing all this to justify my answer to the stiffarmed constituent's question.  If a piece of Federal legislation was passed with Democrat support anytime between 2000 and now, it is most likely Betty McCollum had a significant role in passing it, either through her actions on the Appropriations and Budget Committees, or her actions as a Whip. I believe they have more of an impact than her House vote on the legislation in question. Contrarywise, if a piece of Federal legislation passed over Democrat opposition during that same period, it is most likely Betty McCollum had a significant role in opposing it for the same reasons. It's actually hard to put a numeric figure on the impact of someone's votes, because there are differences of opinion as to the impact of a piece of legislation.  For example, if you asked Betty McCollum, she would most likely tell you that the Bush tax cuts made the deficits go higher.  But there are other folks who argue with equal eloquence and passion that the Bush tax cuts stimulated the economy, which increased government tax receipts, which decreased the deficit from what it would have been without them.  However, the pattern of deficits is quite different, depending on the party in power Here's another way of looking at this chart... Therefore, my answer to the stiffarmed constituent's question is "Betty McCollum was probably not all that responsible for the $1.5 trillion of deficits during 2000-2006, a little more responsible for the $600 billion of deficits during 2007-2008, and a lot more responsible for the $3.2 trillion of deficits during 2009-2010."   I was thinking this way after the meeting on September 13, but I hate it that I think this way. I was thinking "I'm not going to get a straight answer from Betty McCollum, am I?"  At this point I'm thinking "Sadly, no."  And why won't I get a straight answer from Betty McCollum? Because she's a Company Gal, she's part of the Democrat establishment, she's "The Man," and she didn't get there by giving straight answers, and she's not going to stay there if she gives any straight answers.  My only consolation is that she didn't indulge in any of the "I'll go on my diet tomorrow" conversation that President Obama unsuccessfully peddled.  So Betty, you go right ahead and be proud of your votes.  I'll be proud of my vote for Teresa Collett in November. ---------------

Electoral Math -- How Teresa Collett Can Beat MN Rep D Betty McCollum

I found this great article on the Dump Betty McCollum Facebook Page, so I had to share it!

According to a recent poll only 36% of MNCD4 voters have a positive opinion of Nancy Pelosi.  Assume that is Betty's base, the tree hugging,  Kool Aid drinking, pachouli oil smelling, hard core leftists with Vote Betty signs in their yard and Obama and Wellstone bumper stickers on their Priuses.

The Republican candidate has received at least 31% of the vote in MNCD4 the last few elections.  I know I'm in that group and likely so are you if you are reading this.

There is an unknown 3rd party candidate in the race, who likely will get 5% of the vote, if history holds true. Don't be tempted to vote for him to "Send a Message" -- not this year.  Voting for a true constitutional conservative like Teresa Collett will send a message loud and clear to to Pelosi, Reid, Obama and Company!

That leaves 28% in the Undecided category. The exciting thing is that according to a recent poll the undecideds are expected to break hard for Republicans this year. Historically the undecided vote always goes against the party in power in off year elections, and that trend surely will continue this year!  With the presence of a 3rd party, it will take around 48% of the vote to win this year.

If the 28% undecideds go 60% for Collett -- adding that total to the 31% Republican base comes out to a 47.8% total for Collett!

Final tally:

Collett 47.8%

McCollum 47.2

3rd Party 5%

This race can be won!  Don't believe the media who will say MNCD4 is solidly democratic.  The left is down and we're energized.  Dick Morris thinks there could be the opportunity to pick up over 100 seats -- many from districts that no one expected!  MNCD4 could be one of those districts.  Talk to your friends and neighbors, follow us on FB and Twitter, write letters to the editor, contribute and mobilize.  Every vote counts, and together we can Dump Betty and take back a seat that has been occupied by the DFL since WWII!

MN Rep D Betty McCollum Says the Stimulus Worked! Uhm, Epic FAIL!!!

First, challenger Teresa Collett answers.  Clear, concise and articulate, but what else would you expect from a law professor...

and then we have brain dead Betty McCollum, who would be overmatched in a debate with Paris Hilton!

Betty, you start off talking about injecting confidence into the market, and the stimulus was the best way to do so.  Sure...maybe if that was the only thing you did, but you also did auto bailouts, TARP, Obamacare, Cash for Clunkers, Cash for Caulkers and Congress gave themselves a payraise.  Since none of those worked, there was no confidence.  In fact, I don't know of one person who was affected by the stimulus package!  But, there certainly was a lot of government employees hired.

You talk about 9% unemployment, and it would've been 16% if not for the stimulus.  Well genius, get out of Washington DC and talk to your district (which you don't do)!  The Real Unemployment Rate (underemployed and discouraged workers) is around 22%!  Betty, I am not a dummy; I am an educated professional!

To listen to your talking points is nauseating.  We could put any Democrat up there, close our eyes and hear the same talking points your leadership sent with you!

Let's look at some #'s I found here:

In the table below, I’ve calculated the net change in employment by industry from February 2009, when the stimulus bill was passed, to July 2010, using the latest data available from the BLS. (Click row headings for data source.)

		Jobs Created Forecast (Q4-2010)	Jobs Created Actual (2/2009 to 7/2010)
TOTAL		3,675,000	-2,629,700
Mining		26,000	-14,000
Construction		678,000	-862,000
Manufacturing		408,000	-660,000
Wholesale Trade		158,000	-173,900
Retail Trade		604,000	-288,900
Information		50,000	-161,000
Financial Activities		214,000	-321,000
Professional and Business Services		345,000	-246,000
Education and Health Services		240,000	+473,000
Leisure and Hospitality		499,000	-86,000
Other Services		99,000	-71,000
Utilities		11,000	-11,400
Transportation and Warehousing		98,000	-143,500
Government		244,000	-64,000

Oh, and the Central Corridor...so if you were working on that for 20 years, how did that benefit from the stimulus?  Also, the Central Corridor...how will that keep the major corporations?  It connects both downtowns!  People already get to their jobs.

One more thing Betty...your idol, Kenya's Village Idiot admitted the stimulus failed, so why are you defending it?

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!

Rep. Betty McCollum's Town Hall: God, Health Care, and a Chicken

Beautiful insight on a Betty McCollum townhall. Well, townhall is really a misnomer; this was a DFL, pat each other on the back, and pretend things are good kind of party.

Rep. Betty McCollum's Town Hall: God, Health Care, and a Chicken

• September 27th, 2010 1:55 am CT

Chris Conner

• St. Paul Religion & Politics Examiner

Betty McCollum joined a panel of health care experts at Gloria Dei, ELCA, in Saint Paul, MN Sunday night. While the discussion about health care and God ensued inside, a small group of protesters gathered outside.

Last week, Rep. McCollum was scheduled to debate her opponent, Teresa Collett live on local television. McCollum backed out just a few days before.

Instead, she made time for a town hall at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, attended by about 60 people, where Pastor Lois Pallmeyer opened up with prayer for health care reform.

McCollum praised the “faith community” for their activism saying, “I wish there was a public option in this bill. We need a single payer system. We need your prayers to keep health care reform moving in the right direction.”

McCollum did not allow video recording of the event and appeared uneasy when somebody in a chicken suit came to the door. The protester was quickly escorted away.

The panel framed health care reform as a matter of responsibility. “We all are responsible to contribute to the collective so that everybody has health insurance, so that those who are able to pay can help those who cannot.” The panelists argued that health care is a right, not a privilege, perpetuating a divisive dichotomy around a very complicated and difficult issue.

McCollum bemoaned that there is no dialogue about the bill because of bitter partisanship. Still, only one side was discussed and many questions from the audience were screened out.

While denying “death panels” in the bill, McCollum spoke about requiring health care directives and end of life plans so that people can “die with dignity.” She spoke of her own decision to let her mother die.
The evening was rife with similar contradictions. The low turnout suggests that angry citizens are tuning McCollum out. Her refusal to debate Collett on live television before a larger audience is admittedly a political calculation on her part, albeit a risky one in this political climate. McCollum has a reputation for becoming tongue-tied.

After the event, one man asked the pastor if she would be willing to hold a dialogue between McCollum and Collett. Pallmeyer said, “No. McCollum is our Representative.”

Outside, cars honked at the dancing chicken holding a sign that urges McCollum to put her committment to "dialogue" into action:

“Chicken Betty- Debate”

When asked, the protesters admitted that the Collett campaign was not aware of their activity.

MN Rep D Betty McCollum Lies About Obamacare at Townhall

On Sep 13th, Betty McCollum held a townhall at liberal Macalester college.  The only place more DFL friendly is an SEIU/DFL lovefest.  This gentleman owns a company, and his biggest concern was healthcare when he laid people off because his broker told him his rates would be going up.  Now that Obamacare is starting, his healthcare costs are going up so much he may have to shut his business down.  His question for Betty is, "When you voted for Obamacare, were you aware healthcare costs would go up"?

After the question, Betty spewed the typical DEMOCRAT garbage about how great Obamacare is for this gentleman.  

• Betty blames the insurance companies for rising healthcare costs.  Uhm, sure Betty.  The insurance industry operates on thin margins, around 4%.  Unlike retail which can be around 40-45%.  So when the insurance companies are told who/what to cover and caps are eliminated, it adds to their costs.  Betty, you were a retail manager for 25 years, I would think you would understand that.  Than again, you are an intellectual lightweight
• Betty compares car insurance to health insurance.  You nitwit Betty!  Car insurance is based upon an individual.  If you are a bad driver, your costs only affect your rates.  Car insurance is also pretty clear because there are only a few variables that is covered; deductible, personal injury, uninsured motorist etc...Health insurance is based upon a pool of people, and thousands of variables.  How many different health problems are there?  This is not an apple to apple comparison!
• Betty talks about how this gentleman and businesses can get credits on their healthcare costs.  She uses 50%.  Well, actually, Betty uses the term REWARD for providing healthcare to his employees.  Betty you idiot!  Business provide healthcare because it is a competitive advantage in hiring.  It is called a benefit!  Ok,first off, who do you think is paying for the credit these businesses will receive?  I am, you are.  This isn't socialism?  WE are now paying for these healthcare credits these businesses receive, and our healthcare.  Second, Betty makes it sound automatic, but in order to get the credits, a business must meet the following criteria.

The federal law, The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, targets companies with 25 or fewer employees earning an average wage of less than $50,000. Companies with 10 or fewer workers who earn an average wage of less than $25,000 could qualify for the maximum credit.

This video explains all the new taxes on small businesses due to Obamacare (guess you forgot to mention these Betty McCollum)!

Betty McCollum, keep painting that rosey picture of Obamacare; according to Rasmussen reports, 74% of us don't believe you, and WE WILL REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!

Betty McCollum MN Rep D Supports Nancy Pelosi 100%!!!

Today was a big day in MNCD4!  Our current congresswoman, the intellectual flyweight, Betty McCollum debated her challenger Teresa Collett.  This wasn't the televised event that Betty McCollum chickened out on, but a debate that was sponsored by the White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce.


There were a couple important things to come out of this debate.  First, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press, there is a clear choice for MNCD4.  


Collett, a University of St. Thomas law professor, took shots at McCollum for supporting President Obama's health-care initiative and for backing various approaches, such as the federal stimulus package and last year's "Cash for Clunkers'' rebate program, aimed at reviving the economy.


"The simple fact is that we need new leadership and we will get this country back on track,'' Collett said.

Collett said voters should reject members of Congress who voted for the health-care bill so Congress can repeal it and replace it with something better.

Spot on Teresa!  If you think Health Care Reform the way it stands now is going to deliver the way Betty McCollum, Nancy Pelosi and Obama promised, please read my post.  We were told the following, all of which are disputed by many think tanks.  Rates weren't supposed to increase, but they are.  The uninsured will be put in Medicaid, but Dr.'s are leaving Medicaid in droves; this changes the quality of care.  Taxes will increase (there are 17 new taxes) to pay for Health Care Reform.  The national debt will actually increase.  We were promised we could keep our health insurance, but 17 million people will lose it, and some big companies are considering eliminating their healthcare plans and paying the fine.  


Reader, do you agree Speaker Nancy Pelosi is doing a great job?  Do you think she is taking America down the right track?  Where are the jobs?  What about the increasing national debt?  What about the economy?  These are things Bush can't be blamed for; the Democrats have been in control of Congress since 2006!  Think about where we are at; think long and hard.  Has Nancy Pelosi done a great job?  How about a good job?  I don't think so.


Recently there is talk about whether or not Nancy Pelosi will retain her position as Speaker of the House.  This question leads us to the second important item to come out of this debate, and that is where Betty McCollum stands on Nancy Pelosi.  


According to the Pioneer Press, Teresa Collett said, "The simple fact is that we need new leadership and we will get this country back on track,''  


And then we have Betty who stands behind Pelosi 100%.




Pelosi has a 39% approval rating in MNCD4!  Uhm, that isn't very good, and is lower than Obama, especially when she is half a country away!  But Betty backs Pelosi 100%!  This year, Betty has voted 100% with Pelosi!  Is that good for MNCD4, or is that good for San Francisco?  Isn't this part of the problem in Washington?  There is no disputing Pelosi is one of the most powerful women in Washington, but by voting 100% with Pelosi, isn't that just pushing through her agenda?  Again, how is that good for MNCD4?


As Betty said on Pelosi, "I'm going to support a leader who brings people together to move this country forward.''  


Betty, thanks for clearing that up.  Move this country forward?  I would say you have moved us backwards over the last 4 years!  And you are right, Pelosi has brought people together; Conservatives and Tea Party members!  Seriously Betty, concentrate and think hard...focus Betty.  Over the last year people have become pissed off; me included, thus this blog.  Now here is your test Betty... Over the last year we have heard of...

• people that didn't pay much attention to politics (me), to becoming very informed
• Democrats turning Republican or Tea Party
• Independents turning Tea Party or Republican
• Liberals turning Tea Party or Republican

What is missing Betty?  Let me answer this for you.  What we haven't heard is Republicans, Independents or Tea Party people say, "Hey, things are going great, I like the direction the country is headed in, I am voting Democrat"!
