McIntyre - puppet for Pelosi and Trial lawyers

Posted on February 20, 2008

When Rep. Mike McIntyre played puppet for Speaker Pelosi and left Washington without reauthorizing the bi-partisan supported Protect America Act, he left the Nation’s security at risk.
But the House Democratic leadership, led by Speaker Pelosi, refused to let the House vote on the bill. This led to a House GOP walk out led by Minority Leader John Boehner (Ohio), who said, “We will not stand idly by and watch the floor of the United States House of Representatives be abused for pure, political grandstanding at the expense of our national security.”
Why? Not because the bill lacked bipartisan support, but because it lacked trial lawyer support. The Senate-passed bill contains a provision granting immunity from lawsuits to telecommunications companies that have been cooperating with the government in the War on Terror.
It is nothing new really that McIntyre would take the side of the trial lawyers, he was one before he was elected to Congress and the largest single group of donors to his campaign are all lawyers. He votes against tort reform, in fact the puppet strings that pelosi uses to make him dance were attached firmly by the trial lawyers.
HT to Newt
