I just cannot let this go into that good night. HEY Olbermann! Where's Barbara in your Worst Person In The World?
I mean hey!
REP. BARBARA CUBIN, REPUBLICAN, THREATENED TO SLAP A DISABLED MAN... WHO HAPPENED TO BE IN A WHEELCHAIR AT THE TIME!
Story in the Casper Star Tribune
I know.... I know... it's an old story. BUT GUESS WHAT? I'm not going to let it GET old! Barbara Cubin ALSO said that she had paid down the National Debt for the last couple of years! She ALSO said that Wyoming Citizens didn't want to hear about Iraq!
- Cubin voted with President Bush 86% of the time
- A staunch opponent of abortion in any form, Cubin has consistently voted for restrictions on abortion and against funding of family planning groups that provide abortion services, counseling or advocacy. Her pro-life record is more conservative than the majority of Wyoming residents, who consider themselves pro-choice.
- In 2006, Cubin was listed as co-sponsoring legislation that would sell off some federal land to help pay for Hurricane Katrina and other disaster relief. Cubin maintains she never signed on to the legislation, saying there must have been a clerical error. About 42 percent of Wyoming's land is owned by the federal government, including Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks.
- With regard to global warming, Cubin has stated that "there still exists broad disagreement within the scientific community on the extent to which humans actually contribute to the Earth's temperature changes." She has been criticized for disregarding the scientific consensus in favor of the interests of the energy industry.
- According to the Center for Public Integrity, Cubin's largest campaign contributors include the tobacco industry, livestock companies, and extractive industries (including oil, gas, and mining companies).
- On April 7, 2003, Cubin said on the House floor, "My sons are 25 and 30. They are blond-haired and blue-eyed. One amendment today said we could not sell guns to anybody under drug treatment. So does that mean if you go into a black community, you cannot sell a gun to any black person?" Representative Melvin Watt, (D-N.C.), who is black, interrupted and demanded that Cubin retract the statement. Cubin said that she did not mean to offend her "neighbors" on the Democratic side, and maintained that her comment was within House rules.
- During the Florida presidential recount in 2000, Cubin complained at a Republican leadership meeting, "We are bending over and taking it from the Democrats." (When a colleague objected to her language, she replied, "Quiet down, or you'll get a spanking.") [or a slap, maybe?]
