Gene Taylor – Why did you vote for the Hate Crimes Bill?

Gene Taylor – Why did you vote for the Hate Crimes Bill? I have heard your stock answer. It was because it was part of the defense bill and you would not prevent the defense bill from going forward.

Why Not? A quick down vote on the bill until the Hate Crimes Bill was struck out of it would only have taken a few days, much less time than President Obama needs to take the advice of his appointed Generals.

Doing this would have prevented the Hate Crimes Bill which is just bad law from being passed. We have enough laws in place to protect our citizens and the leeway for our judges to impose a wide range of sentences for offenders. It was too bad the Hate Crimes Bill didn’t address the molestation of a child to be more than a suspended sentence or 60 days in jail. Did you explain to Princess Nancy that this law violates the “equal protection” clause of the Constitution? I know you are a back room guy and that’s how you admitted you got things done. We are front door folks.

I submit that the defense bill could have passed without missing a beat and you could actually be proud of doing something for your constituents.

I asked you to personally introduce a law that would create a single topic restriction to any law being introduced. All I and the others at the event heard from you was that it was just too hard to do and it wouldn’t pass anyway.

I ask you again to stand before Congress and introduce and demand the passing of a Single Topic Bill. No bill will be attached to another bill unless both bills address the same topic. I also ask you to introduce a bill that would require the Constitutionality of any Bill be reviewed prior to the bill leaving committee.

I will ask this of each candidate that runs for your seat. I’ll let you know if you have a competitor who will “Man Up” and represent the entire 4th District.

Gene lies to you, I’ll give you the truth!
Mississippians are dumb enough to believe that he represents them. On high profile votes, like 3962, of course he votes no. That way he can keep acting like a “blue dog”. The rest of the time, he’s as liberal as can be.
