Frank Kratovil Votes to Bring Guantanamo Detainees to US

Rep. Frank Kratovil (D-MD) voted on Thursday to bring terrorists to the US to stand trail.  HR2898, an appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security, allows for Guantanamo detainees to be brought to the US for trial.

Kratovil, who claims to be the “most independent Democrat in the House”, will undoubtedly claim that he voted against allowing detainees to come to the US.  Technically this is true.  In the spirit of John Kerry (“I voted against the war before I voted for it”) Kratovil voted in favor of recommitting the conference report with instructions.  In plain English that means that the motion to re-commit included language that would have blocked the Obama administration’s plans to bring terrorist detainees into the US.  However, Kratovil being the loyal Obamanista that he is, immediately turned around and VOTED FOR the bill, even though it included the provision to bring terrorists to our shores.

This should be expected from people like Kratovil and Obama.  Remember, Kratovil voted AGAINST the Obama PORKULUS bill BEFORE he voted FOR it.  This is the bill that was promised to stop unemployment at 8%.  Now our national unemployment rate is at 10% – AND RISING.  With a federal deficit of $1.42 TRILLION – AND ALSO RISING – Blue Dog Democrats like Frank Kratovil really must think that their constituents back home are dumber than the proverbial sack of hair.

What a two faced fool.

He reminds me of another Two that I know.

Oh, am I being rascist?

He probably voted against cap and tax before he voted for it. He will probably vote against health care reform before he votes for it. Don't forget, if Pelosi says jump, Kratovil says "how high". It's really sad that the man got elected in the first place.

Frank knows what the Shore needs! The illegals help keep the chicken houses producing. These detainees could be put to good use cleaning out the smelly houses. Have you ever heard of a terrorist suicide bomber blowing up a chicken house? Of course not.

Bring them in Frank!

Frank's voting record is no surprise to me. I expected him to toll the line for the Democrats. 2010 will be here soon. Send him back to the courtroom. He doesn't need to represent us because he doesn't believe as we do.

Is anyone surprised? He's just another Pelosi lap dog and needs to be thrown out with the rest of the trash in congress.

I thought that guantanamo was to keep these "individuals" out of America? Am I right, or what the hell is the President thinking about closing it? Gitmo's prison is to keep prisoners there most especially terrorists and keep them out of the country! WTF!!!!

No worries Frank. Finish today and you are one day closer to ending your political career. We know who you really are. Why hide your true colors. If your ideas are so great, why the tricks???

Frank, I hope you are an unemployed Congressman in 2010. You will get what you deserve, along with a host of your colleges.
A new America awaits! Down with the Libs. Freedom is worth saving.
God Bless America !!!!!!!!!

I don't have a problem with this -- as long as the Guantanamo detainees have to live with Frank and his supporters over at Tooo Denzzze.

He fooled me once, that wont happen again. His next job will be the defense lawyer for terrorists.

Frankie K. Pelosi's days in Congress are numbered -- help (Andy Harris) is on the way!

uummm , yes to Harris, but please..no more help is on the way references.
That was Ireton's slogan, and in the city of Salisbury
"help is on the way"
only means help is on the way if you want more crime, more drugs. more gangs, and more prostitution, straight or otherwise!

Right on -- it's too bad that the Jim-Beau does not have to run in 2010.

Another reason to get Frank out of office ASAP.
Since this failed, he gets credit for supporting it.
Bye, bye Frank.
