GOP Defeats Corruption Measure

Bring it On! » Blog Archive » House Republicans Offer Stirring Defense… Of Halliburton:

"Fear, fear, fear. Notice the little part about no committee in Congress has the ability to enforce or not enforce contracts. Funny, but two weeks ago when they were “protecting American ports” from evil Muslim’s they sure thought they could interfere with contracts. Interesting. Even worse is his insistence that Halliburton would cease honoring their current contracts because we don’t want to keep awarding them new ones unless they can pass an audit. Fear, fear, fear.

Think about what an extra 100,000,000.00 dollars would have done for our military? Think about the body armor, the armor plating for the vehicles, and medical care for veterans that 100,000,000.00 would have purchased. Think about Rep. Duncan Hunter’s shameful defense of Halliburton instead of defending the troops or the taxpayers. Which party cares about law and order? Which party cares about security? Fiscal responsibility? When you think about how Rep. Hunter defended corporate interests instead of the publics, you have your answer.

Oh and for the record, the amendment was defeated. Go G.O.P."
