An honest politician
is someone who, when bought, stays bought.
From the
National Republican Congressional Committee:
Code Red Moves Cardoza and Costa to �Yes� Votes on Gov�t Healthcare Takeover After Water Deal
Is this Another Backroom Deal to Force Obama�s Bill Down the American People�s Throats?
As a vote approaches on Obama and Pelosi�s government takeover of healthcare, Code Red is now considering two supposedly �undecided� California Democrats, Dennis Cardoza and Jim Costa, to now be �yes� votes.
The U.S. Department of Interior announced yesterday that it is increasing water allocations for the Central Valley of California, a region that depends on these water allocations to support local agriculture and jobs. The region has recently been starved for water and as a result unemployment has soared. Not surprisingly, Cardoza and Costa had a hand in the announcement:�Typically, Reclamation would release the March allocation update around March 22nd, but moved up the announcement at the urging of Senators Feinstein and Boxer, and Congressmen Costa and Cardoza.�(�Interior Announces Increased Water Supply Allocations in California,� U.S. Department of Interior news release, 3/16/10)
Will Cardoza and Costa come clean about this apparent backroom deal for their votes?
They do need the water but this is a shitty way to get it...
