Doolittle Shamelessly Plays the Race and Gay Card

John Doolittle is now playing the race card with his H.R. 480 to deny undocumented workers (Mexicans Nationals) the right to secure mortgages to buy homes and the Gay Bashing card with his H.R. 1246. HR 480 is all for effect because undocumented nationals cannot buy homes on the meager pay they receive from California employers, who break the law to employee them but are never prosecuted.

USA Carol Lam, who secured the conviction on Congressman Duke Cunningham, and was then going after Congressman John Taylor Doolittle for his involvement in the influence peddling of Jack Abramoff, was fired by Bush in a now-notorious political firing, politicizing further the Department of Justice. With no attorney to continue the probe of Doolittle, he has been granted a respite from prosecution so he is trying to hide him own culpability by creating bogeymen of gays and of Mexicans in our country who are here because businesses, illegally, will pay them a pittance for their reliable, honest work without providing benefits or housing.

With H.R.1246 Doolittle is appealing to the Far Right gay bashers among us by rescinding the Don’t ask/Don’t tell policy put into effect in 1993, which has worked smoothly in the military. He is prohibiting gays from serving in the US Armed Forces, which he never served in and now as a chicken hawk is acting as a military authority.

Doolittle is attempting to arouse people’s bigotry and prejudice to hide his own corruption and change the subject from himself to undocumented workers and gays. Doolittle is once again playing to mankind’s baser nature for his self-preservation. This man has no limits to the depths he will plumb to save his hide. Doolittle is once again using the different, the helpless and the downtrodden to hide his flagrant corruption and boundless immorality.
