They just can't stop themselves...

From the latest NCDA report on the Bush administrations attempt to eliminate HUD's Community Development Block Grant.

"Mayor Autry of Fresno was enthusiastic to be part of the committee, arguing that CDBG was in need of reform, primarily due to the inequities in funding levels. Fresno, with a population of 480,000 and
“demographics worse than Appalachia” receives $8.3 million under the existing CDBG dual formula. "Is there any City of 480,000 which receives less?" He believes that a program focusing on distressed communities only, as will likely be proposed by the SACI, will
result in more money for Fresno."

Yes Virginia there are, several...It took me two minutes online to find FOUR similar cities that get less CDBG funds this year than Fresno: Albuquerque, Virginia Beach, Sacramento and some other city that I can't remember. TWO MINUTES!

Is he a liar or ignorant? Does it matter anymore?

It's just one lie after another with Bushites. They exaggerate or flat out lie about things as unknown as this, they just can't help themselves. Eternally victimized by the nasty Liberals. Fuckers.

It's pathological at this point. They make shit up on the fly and probably believe it anyway, sort of like Sartres "Bad Faith", they believe their own LIES.

How do we deal with this? It's a FLOOD of mis-information and prevarication. Reason? Persuasion? Chatting? Emails?

HOW???

EDIT: He may be a Dem, I don't know or give a rat's ass either. It wouldn't surprise at this point anyway.

Double EDIT: He's a rethug.

3. I don't know anything about him except that he's misrepresented...
...or lied about CDBG funding.

Autry likes to do things like lead rallies against same-sex marriage. And he also believes that he's entitled to free meals from the taxpayers.

http://fresnobee.com/local/story/10369103p-11172273c.html

... Autry, who receives a salary of $99,400 a year and a $300-a-month vehicle allowance, considers meals a part of the job.

... Autry's philosophy on meals is that if he's at work and hungry, the taxpayer should buy him a meal. He maintains that, as mayor, he is always on city business: "When am I not mayor? When am I not taking phone calls on city business? Never."

On edit; But, yes, he just endorsed Feinstein.

4. Not "No", I said I didn't care.
But it doesn't shock me that he'd be such a sucker off the public trough.
