She's also a smoke Nazi
My thoughts can be summed up through these quotes from Republican Rep. Thaddeus McCotter and a Democratic staffer:
-
“The health nannies’ arbitrary ban on a legal and heavily taxed product bodes ill for the future marketing of Mountain Dew and MoonPies,” said Rep. Thaddeus G. McCotter, an infuriated Republican, and smoker, from Michigan.
“This is silly ‘feel good’ crap by a bunch of do-gooders,” barked a high-level Democratic staffer (also a smoker). “We should be worried about the housing crisis, the unemployment rate and the national debt instead of making staffers walk four blocks to buy a pack of smokes.”
We should have seen this coming.
-
This is, quite possibly, the most ignorant thing I've ever read. It seems to me that Pelosi couldn't pass her entire agenda, so she's trying to Pelosi-ize the House.
OF COURSE, during all of this, we must remember our favorite bloated program, SCHIP. Remember the insanely regressive-as-hell tobacco tax that would accompany the updated version? Talk about hypocrisy. If anyone should be smoking, Members of Congress should be. They're the ones who both want to use tobacco to fund programs and spend millions trying to discourage smoking.
Congressional Democrats- the utmost in hypocrisy.
