01.12.08: Despite Congress' rejection of a billion-dollar funding increase for NASA next year, Texas lawmakers haven't given up the fight to increase the agency's budget. In a tour of the development lab for the Orion crew exploration vehicle at the Johnson Space Center, U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, and U.S. Rep. Nick Lampson, D-Texas, called for an additional $2 billion to speed up construction of the Orion and the Ares rocket system to launch it into space.
12.18.07 FlAttorney says: The SFA was gutted by ignorant fool Texas U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison(R). Texas U.S. Sen. John Cornyn(R) was a sponsor of RINO Kays totally irresponsible amendment that she inserted into the approved $555 billion Omnibus Spending Bill at the last minute. This was the fifth time RINO Kay tried to gut the SFA. This time she was successful hiding it in this huge both sides of the aisle pork-fest bill. Her and Cornyns action were of no surprise. Texas is a pro-illegal aliens State with its chief shepherd being Republican Governor Rick Perry. My born and raised city of Houston, Texas has been a illegal aliens sanctuary city since 1992. The on-going influx of illegals into Houston is out of control.
Didn’t Cornyn conspire with bimbette?
What a surprise! She has always been a RINO so what else would one expect.
“The on-going influx of illegals into Houston is out of control.”
About five years ago, we were trying to find a friend’s house in Houston. We stopped at four different convenience stores before we found someone who spoke enough English to help us.
It has only gotten worse since then, and the riff-raff that came in from NO after Katrina didn’t help the quality of life at all. Houston is looking more and more like LA, not a compliment.
Hunter is against her. That’s good enough for me.
Thanks for the post. Hutchison’s actions really make me sick and disgusted.
Our senators from Texas are trying to talk a good game on the immigration issue, but are sadly in the open borders camp. They still have a chance to correct their errors, and I hope they will. We need “change.”
Worse. Wow, that would be a tough row to hoe.
It’s utterly disgraceful. Thank you, RINOs, for killing both the Republican Party and this nation’s sovereignty. You traitors-for-hire had better remember who put you in office and who can vote your sorry behinds out.
The electorate of Texas are sick and tired of being jerked around by RINO’s who place more value on the Mexican governments wishes than on the citizens of the Republic of Texas.
In the next Senate election, Texas conservatives need to nominate a primary opponent for this vile, corrupt, treacherous woman. She needs to be run out of the Senate at the next election. She, like her friend the corrupt federal prosecutor Sutton, has opted to put the interests of foreign drug smugglers and people traffickers before the safety and security of Americans.
This is just so much liberal speak for giving an excuse to not build it.
Of course the criminal entrants alter their routes as the fence is built...AWAY FROM THE FENCE! So, you build it along the entire border just like many have proposed for years...and which the legislation was meant to make GREAT strides towards, something the libs and RINOS have opposed all along. Now they are gutting it.
I agree, but this kind of conflict will continue until the main supporters of the NAU are exposed and removed from power. The elected officials are marching to their tune and if one RINO is thrown out, they will simply put in another one.
Cornyn went out of his way to “explain” Hutchison’s actions here. The latest interview I heard with him had him explaining that her amendment was necessary in order to have “local” control. Both have been in Washington so long that they think that Michael Chertoff is a local.
“Both have been in Washington so long that they think that Michael Chertoff is a local”.
ROFL
Kay baily Hutchinson is a traitor. She should be tried as such. Her family deserves to be deported.
“incredible shrinking border fence.”....I’m buying cement and a shovel and will personally start the wall by building 20 feet....anyone else want to show up and build the next 20 feet?....It’ll never get done by these damn politicians!
