What's Up With This Guy?

Local politician Trent Franks joins his Fuhrer, Bush, in once again denying poor, non-republican children healthcare with his NO vote on S-Chip. What is up with this guy?

After sneaking into office during a heated and vituperative confrontation between two powerful republican candidates, every year since he has used his contacts with the fundamentalists churches, unproductive and ineffectual anti-abortion rhetoric, and the same phony signs covered with the faces of anonymous children (who must be teenagers by now) to pretend to support family values.

What family?

He has never held a real job, has never had nor raised any children, has no personal investment in the future of the country, Franks office regularly turns down requests for help from constituents asking for help with government bureaucracy, refuses public debates over his poor decisions, turns down federal money for highway improvement in one of the fastest growing areas of the country, wants to privatize Social Security to line the pockets of private companies, supports the Blackwater money laundering operation that reputably funnels government money into the Republican party while building his Fuhrer a huge private army, and even voted to repeal the Voting Rights Act.

Here are his credentials:

He moved here from a toxic waste site in Colorado to grab the coat-tails of then-governor Evan Mecham who was impeached for obstruction of justice and misuse of government funds after canceling the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, blaming working women for raising the divorce rate, and attempting to defend his right to use the racial slur, “pickaninny.”

Franks, you are known by the friends you make. It is time to leave.
