Kirk Watson — Now the Rest of the Country Knows What an Idiot he Is

Kirk Watson was an idiot when he was our mayor. And he’s still an idiot as a State Senator. What we’ve all known locally for a long time (that he’s a typical Austin Liberal — clueless), the rest of the country now knows.

I was downtown having a few glasses of Power’s Irish Whiskey at Katz Deli — and the talk of the bar was Kirk Watson and his appearance on Chris Matthews show on MSNBC last night.

Kirk Watson supports and has endorsed Barack Obama. Anybody who leans even a little left in Austin has, too. You’d have to be a racist not to (that’s what I keep hearing, anyway).

Anyhow, Chris Matthews asked Sen. Kirk Watson a simple and straight forward question: “Name some of his legislative accomplishments… name any…”

Watson’s response? Dead air. Nothing. Drew a complete blank. Could not come up with one thing. Couldn’t even stutter out Obama’s remarkable record on voting “Present” in the Senate (when he’s bothered to show up to vote at all).

Don’t worry, Kirk. You’re not alone. There’s a reason that you couldn’t think of a single legislative accomplishment of Senator Obama…

Take, for instance, this commenter at Austin’s most prominent Liberal political blog, Burnt Orange Report:

I dont think that was all that bad … Just correct.

The vast majority of people dont know what Obama has accomplished.

(Quite frankly neither do I)

But that is OK. He brings hope, change and charisma which is all you need in a presidential election. And he has it all.

Hah. And this guy supports Obamassiah! And readily admits that he has no idea what the guy has ever achieved. But he likes the way he talks and preaches to the Obamanites. And for him, that’s good enough to lead our country. Idiot.

I listened to that 45 min speech he gave last nite in Texas and I was just amazed. He promised so many things to people that anyone with half a brain must know he cannot accomplish it without sending the national debt into the stratosphere or taxing anyone who makes more than $100K 75% of their earnings. He went on and on and on with promises. People were practically licking their lips with anticipation.

To be fair to Obama though, what has Hillary accomplished? Hmmm, seems to be a lot of monument naming and the like …

1. Establish the Kate Mullany National Historic Site
2. Support the goals and ideals of Better Hearing and Speech Month
3. Recognize the Ellis Island Medal of Honor
4. Name courthouse after Thurgood Marshall
5. Name courthouse after James L. Watson
6. Name post office after Jonn A. O’Shea
7. Designate Aug. 7, 2003, as National Purple Heart Recognition Day
8. Support the goals and ideals of National Purple Heart Recognition Day
9. Honor the life and legacy of Alexander Hamilton on the bicentennial of his death.
10. Congratulate the Syracuse Univ. Orange Men’s Lacrosse Team on winning the championship
11. Congratulate the Le Moyne College Dolphins Men’s Lacrosse Team on winning the championship
12. Establish the 225th Anniversary of the American Revolution Commemorative Program
…

If we’re going to get a Democrat in the White House, might as well take the better of the two.

[Editor --- well, shit...I support the goals and ideals of National Purple Heart Recognition Day, too. And, I too offer my congrats to the Orangemen's Lacrosse team. Can I be President?]

Karma is a bitch, it’s just too bad that it has to make a presidential candidate look bad.

Sen. Kirk Watson is a snake. In October, Sen. Kirk Watson voted to ignore the public and divert nearly a Billion tax dollars to convert portions of Austin existing freeways (183, 290W, 290E, 71E, and 71W) into tollways.

No city in the country has shifted it’s freeways to tollways.

This double tax, of tolling drivers to use public expressways to drive to work, school and shop, benefits Watson contributors, developers he was hired to lobby for and the City of Austin, who pays Watson $450 an hour to do land deals.

Someone recently did an analysis of all the promises of the frontrunners, and both BHO and HRC came in at over a quarter-trillion added to the yearly budget. JMs promises added up to one-fifth of the D-crat’s give-aways. They will have no recourse but to tax the middle class for this. And if any liberal genious pipes in with “We’re going to make corporations pay their share”, I’ll mail you your stupid sign first thing in the morning. Taxes on corporations is the other ‘trickle-down’. They result in depressed wages and higher prices for the middle AND lower classes. Assuming the company can stay in business paying them, or doesn’t flee the country to escape them. Meanwhile, the top economies in the world are also the freest economies in the world. The US just barely made the top 10.
