What Can You Tell Me About Mark Green?

The guys an asshole, I know, but I have a teacher who keeps inviting him to my school district, and he makes me sick. I would greatly appreciate any info you can give me. I voted for and supported Dottie against him.

And I say that based solely on this link from his "official" Web site:

Look at the great, unbiased report from Iraq! I am so happy to hear that things are going so well there. </sarcasm>

http://www.house.gov/markgreen/IraqKeyFindingsPage.htm

Baghdad’s streets are humming with traffic, oil refineries are getting back up and running, clean water is flowing and American troops and Iraqis are working together to make Iraq self-sufficient. Both Republicans and Democrats on the trip were astounded by the blazing pace of progress in rebuilding Iraq. There is still a long way to go, but Iraq is clearly on its way to a bright future. Ninety percent of local communities now have an elected governing council in place. Iraq will soon be designing a new constitution, and the Iraqi people are eager to have – for the first time in their lives – the ability to determine the course of their nation’s future.

I don't know who I'm more cheesed off at (sorry), the Mark Greens of the world for the blatant manipulation, or those who allow themselves to be manipulated. And as someone with family in the military (in Baghdad!) I'm really sick of these chickenhawk types speaking for "the military folks".

- lost to Bloomberg in the last mayoral election in NYC?

Can't speak for his personality, but I was for the more liberal Green over the more moderate-conservative Bloomberg.

Mark A. Green: Right-wing Republican Congressman from Wisconsin, planning a run for Governor in 2006, already engaged in playing fast and loose with the campaign finance laws in preparation for that race.

Mark J. Green: Liberal Democrat from New York City, one of the original Nader's Raiders (but urged Nader not to run for President, and co-chaired Kerry's campaign in New York), author of Who Runs Congress? and other books, elected as NYC Public Advocate in 1993 and 1997, lost the mayoral election to Bloomberg in 2001, planning a run to succeed Eliot Spitzer as state Attorney General in 2006.

I appreciate the info, Jim Lane. Thank you.

For example, "their" Mark Green joined Bush in caving in to the theocrats on stem cell research (while, of course, trying to spin it as opposition to cloning). http://www.house.gov/markgreen/PRESS/2002/April/NR0425Cloning.htm

-- just a matter of time -- there WILL be a pro-science attitude in all governments.

Including the issue of stem cell research. The Right's opposition to this is just idiotic and anti-modernist crap.

Couldn't agree with you more on this one.

So will you help us get rid of Mark Green? He is my congress-critter, and I am less than amused. :puke:

Nice to see ya, Crusoe! :hi:

What I have in mind is for the right-wing Mark Green -- your Congresscritter -- to have an unfortunate encounter with a Hodag. Isn't that a lumberjack-era creature about which tall tales are told in the north country?

And let's say it will be a really BIG hodag. With mercilessly sharp claws.

How does that sound?

And the fact that Babe is Blue ought to tell you something about the true nature of Wisconsin.

Sounds good, though! :thumbsup:

This animal is not just the product of Old Crusoe's fevered imagination, although it does appear to be the product of somebody's fevered imagination. For a complete rundown on hodags, including a photo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodag

we have to work extra hard to defeat him so we'll be rid of the sorry SOB once and for all....

let him run...it makes him vulnerable.

write letters of thanks to him. Who would be a good one to have come here instead? It would sure be cool if it'd be on the same day, wouldn't it?

Billing taxpayers for Congress’ Italy trip obscene

"It is more embarrassing than gratifying that U.S. Reps. Mark Green, R-Green Bay, and Dave Obey, D-Wausau, were part of the 40-member congressional junket to Pope John Paul II’s funeral in Rome last week at taxpayer expense.

“I think we are paying tribute to a world leader and I think it’s appropriate that, for example, the people of Wisconsin have representation there,” Green said.

The people of Wisconsin, along with the rest of the country, had fine representation without the excessive entourage tagging along.

George W. Bush was the first sitting president in American history to attend a pope’s funeral. He, along with First Lady Laura Bush, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and former presidents Bush and Clinton, constituted a meaningful and dignified delegation.

The addition of 40 politically ambitious congressmen was like over-accessorizing a good suit.

From Sensenbrenner's press release:

(Washington, DC) – Representatives Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Menomonee Falls), Tom Petri (R-Fond du Lac), Paul Ryan (R-Janesville), and Mark Green (R-Green Bay) today blasted Energy Secretary Bill Richardson and the Clinton-Gore Administration for their failure to implement a comprehensive energy policy to deal with staggering gas prices Wisconsin consumers continue to face at the pumps.
...
“We need an energy policy that not only reduces gas prices today, but ensures greater price stability in the future," Green said. "Thanks to the lack of a national energy plan from this Administration, we are more dependent on foreign oil than we were a decade ago. That's a threat not only to our national economy, but to our national security.”

http://www.house.gov/sensenbrenner/pr20000907.htm

The time has come to make each of these individuals accountable for their positions and hold them to the same standard of criticism regardless of the administration in power.

I will be using Green's words and rubber-stamping of administration policies against him to oust him from my district (Green Bay) for '06. He does not represent the interests of this region, and would be an embarrassment as governor.

This is an LBN post about Green standing up for Delay. It also point out how much money Green's campaign took from Delay. This is enough to hang around his neck like a stinking skunk if he decides to run for Governor.

here's the link:

Mark Green = friend of Tom Delay.

That says enough, doesn't it?
Do Wisconsinites want this kind of leader as governor? or congress-critter?

if he runs for Governor or for re-election to Congress....

we've got to hammer (pun intended) him with this!

Short and simple. Whoever his opponent is should pound it into the (thickening) heads of the people of Northeast Wisconsin.

This guy must not be reelected, and will have the noose of DeLay around his neck if he tries a run for Governor. With all due respect to George Tennent, let's make him a "slam dunk!"

When he tried to divide the people of this state by blabbering about "Madison Liberals" he became the politician I most want to see defeated in '06.

He along with James Sensenbrenner have offered their support for Jeff Gannon/Guckert

Real slimeball from what I hear.
