Tom Reed, First Class Brown Noser

While most people's attention is turned to the appallingly arrogant and elitist views of Mittens and his disdain for everyone in America who isn't as wealthy as he, I'd like to turn our attention to something even more important; the House and Senate races taking place in November.  If democrats are unable to deliver President Obama a Congress who is willing to move the country forward, we're in trouble.  With obstructionist Republicans vowing that their top priority is assuring Obama is a one-term President (thanks, Mitch McConnell), Obama is unlikely to accomplish much more if we keep the overtly racist, misogynist tea-baggers in office.  
   Which brings our focus to the first-class brown-noser of NY's freshly minted 23rd district, which encompasses a large swath of Upstate, including the cities of Ithaca and Elmira, as well as tiny little villages like mine, Penn Yan.  Meet Tom Reed, Speaker Boehner's favorite dog walker, who proudly declared that he "earned" his seat on the prestigious Ways and Means Committee by walking the weeper-of-the-house's  pooch four days a week.
  Tommy boy got started in Washington by giving his brand new Congressional Healthcare a workout when a blood-clot in his leg (which he ignored until he got that sweet, sweet socialist healthcare, which he voted to deny you and me 33 times)-- traveled to both of his lungs and nearly took his life.  Lucky for Reed that he had that coverage and lived to walk Boehner's pooch another day.
   Our story continues with Reed, tea-bagger darling, who sits as Co-Chairman of the Marcellus Shale Caucus (a group of pro-hydro-fracking lawmakers), voting always within his party ranks, proving that he is more than willing to walk lock step with his tea-bagger cronies and vote how he's told.  Truth be told, Mr. Reed is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Super Pac, his largest fund raising block, at $780,000, well over half of his campaign financing.
  Reed, of course, pulls his considerable weight supporting Paul Ryan's obscene budget proposal, proving that he prefers his budgets balanced on the back of your grandma instead of his Corning Incorporated cronies and his dear, dear friends at the American Petroleum Institute.  Yes, Southern Tier citizens, Uncle Tom favors corporate welfare over giving human beings a leg up in a struggling economy, at a much greater cost to tax payers, of course.
Simply put, Tom Reed is just another Tea-bag drone incapable of independent thought, his seat bought and paid for by corporate special interests, with no interest in you, the voter, what-so-ever.  Don't even get me started on the skinny-dipping (more aptly described as Chunky-dunking) with Congressman Yoder in the Sea of Galilee incident.  Some things are just too embarrassing to talk about.  It seems he, like the rest, was unable to walk on water, however.  No word on water into wine or natural gas.
  Moral of the story?  Get the hell up off your ass and vote.  We need to get Jabba the dog-walking brown-noser out of office.
