At a time when most Kentuckians are struggling Anne Northup is getting ready for her plum job in Washington D.C. as a Commissioner of the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, thanks to Senator Mitch McConnell and President Barack Obama, click here to see her testimony. Change we can believe in? I don't think so. I suggest that our country is in the shape it's in because of folks like Anne Northup and her never ending support of George W. Bush and his policies that nearly destroyed the United States Of America and put many Kentuckians out of work and out of their homes. So who is the real Anne Northup?
Source Watch During her 2004 campaign, Northup was a recipient of former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's ARMPAC campaign contributions. DeLay was later indicted on charges of felony money laundering of campaign finances and conspiracy to launder money. To the best of my knowledge Northup did not return any of the $42,701 she received.
Northup votedfor the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 that started the Iraq War.
Northup was closely tied to President George W. Bush early in both of their careers. In 1996, then-Texas Gov. Bush campaigned in Louisville for then-state Rep. Northup's first congressional campaign. In 1999, Northup was one of eight members of Bush's presidential exploratory committee, and after his inauguration, Northup's votes matched the President's position approximately 95 percent of the time despite representing a predominantly Democratic district.
This appointment smells to high heaven and the silience from the Kentucky Democratic Party, elected Democrats and Democrats seeking office is deafening!
