Rep Steve King (R-Nutjob) wants to repeal everything Obama's signed into law

http://thinkprogress.org/election/2012/08/08/661291/beyond-obamacare-rep-steve-king-wants-to-repeal-everything-bill-obama-has-ever-signed/

“King added that he’s thinking about introducing a bill, which if it became law, would repeal everything Obama has signed into law,” reports The Messenger, a local newspaper in Iowa. Such an extreme proposition would certainly do away with the biggest Republican bugaboos like Obamacare and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, but King’s “reset button” bill will come with many more casualties:

- Elimination of the Bush tax cuts. President Obama signed a bill in 2010 to extend tax cuts for all Americans. If King’s bill passed, he would raise taxes on every single taxpayer.

- Defunding of the US military. The repeal of the National Defense Reauthorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (and 2011 and 2010) would eliminate more than $1 trillion in spending on national defense and our interests abroad.

and more

LOL. Good luck with that bill, Steve. You'll need the President's signature on it.

1. I thoughly expect them to try to repatriate President Obama to Kenya.

That these people even walk the streets is bad enough.

2. That would also repeal the trade deal with South Korea

and all the aid to Israel.

He might want to be careful of what he asks for.

Preferably, with a black Muslim from Kenya. An actual one, not Obama.

11. The people who elected that fool should be ridiculed and scorned on a daily basis.

They should have to wear a sign that lets everyone else know they voted for King. Each day there should be a parade of fools (with King at the lead), so people can point and laugh as the parade goes by. It has to be televised everywhere so other nations can get a laugh.
