Full Statement From Shelby's Office On The Blanket Hold



Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) spokesperson Jonathan Graffeo sent TPM the following statement this morning on Shelby's decision to place holds on a number of Obama's nominees Thursday:

"Sen. Shelby has placed holds on several pending nominees due to unaddressed national security concerns. Among his concerns is that nearly 10 years after the U.S. Air Force announced plans to replace the aging tanker fleet, we still do not have a transparent and fair acquisition process to move forward. The Department of Defense must recognize that the draft Request for Proposal needs to be significantly and substantively changed.

Sen. Shelby is also deeply concerned that the Administration will not release the funds already appropriated to the FBI to build the Terrorist Explosives Devices Analytical Center."

We Give Senator Richard Shelby’s Blanket Hold on Federal Nominees the Catchy Name It Requires

"When Democratic senator Ben Nelson made a deal for the federal government to forever pay for Nebraska's expanded Medicaid program in exchange for his vote on health-care reform, Republicans gleefully referred to the agreement as the "Cornhusker Kickback." When Democratic senator Mary Landrieu secured $300 million in Medicaid payments for Louisiana in exchange for her support for the bill, it was deemed the "Louisiana Purchase." Now Republican senator Richard Shelby of Alabama has single-handedly held up the confirmations of 70 federal nominees with something called a "blanket hold." It's a move we humbly propose become forever known as ... the Cotton State Cockblock.

No need to wait.....all you have to do is click on the links that say "READ MORE"....something that you rarely, if ever, do. Dishonest hacks like you cherry pick one story, make a dishonest argument out of it to make the other side seem like the bad guys all the while knowing your party is just as fucked up as the rest....dishonesty and hypocrisy for all to see...THIS, people, is why this country's politics are so messed up right now...no one party is responsible for it. It's dishonest hack arguments that are completely without any merit that cause problems.

You see, this one here is a DAY AFTER that report. I know the concept of chronology baffles you some, but it's rather simple, chuckles.

THIS IS AN UPDATE DIRECTLY FROM THE SENATOR'S OFFICE.

You know, one where he explicitly says through his spokesman the reasons.

The same reasons you continually deny.

It's OK. Every one here who is reading this can see your duplicity and dishonesty.

Shelby's Office Confirms Holds, Lashes Out At Obama | TPMDC

That will take you to this one (if you click the hard to find link at the bottom):

Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) spokesperson Jonathan Graffeo sent TPM the following statement this morning on Shelby's decision to place holds on a number of Obama's nominees Thursday:

Sen. Shelby has placed holds on several pending nominees due to unaddressed national security concerns. Among his concerns is that nearly 10 years after the U.S. Air Force announced plans to replace the aging tanker fleet, we still do not have a transparent and fair acquisition process to move forward. The Department of Defense must recognize that the draft Request for Proposal needs to be significantly and substantively changed.

Sen. Shelby is also deeply concerned that the Administration will not release the funds already appropriated to the FBI to build the Terrorist Explosives Devices Analytical Center. This decision impedes the U.S. military, the intelligence community, and federal law enforcement personnel in their missions to exploit and analyze intelligence information critical to fighting terrorism and ensuring American security worldwide. The Obama Administration wants to read terrorists our Miranda rights and try them in U.S. courts but is impeding the processing of evidence that could lead to convictions. If this administration were as worried about hunting down terrorists as it is about the confirmation of low-level political nominations, America would be a safer place.

The administration claims to take a tough stance in fighting terrorism, yet the fiscal year 2011 budget request proposes to rescind these funds, contradicting the concerns of the FBI Director and the commander of the U.S. Army's Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO), both of whom are responsible for the safety of soldiers and agents fighting on the front lines in Afghanistan and Iraq. There is currently a 20-year backlog of forensic evidence that has been extracted from explosive devices, many of which were used to kill American soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq. JIEDDO projects that submissions to the FBI could reach as high as 1,500 to 2,500 boxes per month when the war-fighting season in Afghanistan resumes in the Spring of 2010.

Evidence from the backlog examined by the FBI has matched the fingerprints of individuals applying for positions with the Iraqi National Police force, as well as individuals who have moved to the United States. The backlog continues to grow, sitting idly filling multiple warehouses, as the administration proposes to cut funding for the FBI that would allow them to more expeditiously process this evidence.

Sen. Shelby will continue to work with the FBI to give them the capability to coordinate intelligence as well as forensic and technical exploitation related to IEDs, but this administration's coddling of terrorists makes this an uphill effort. He has made the Administration aware of these concerns and is willing to discuss them at any time.

and now, since you've been exposed for the hack you are, WHERE DOES SHELBY OR ANY OF HIS SPOKESPERSONS CONFIRM THAT HE'S HOLDING UP NOMINEES BECAUSE OF THESE PROGRAMS???!!!
Quit being such a dishonest poster and answer the question!!! Remember now...FROM SHELBY OR HIS SPOKES PERSON...A DIRECT QUOTE....NOT AN OPINION FROM THE ARTICLES AUTHOR.

 

[paperview]

Damn this funny.

Not much more to say. Posters can read the statement directly from Shelby's office for themselves.

I think the readers are enjoying more watching PeePee flail around as I kick his scrawny ass all over the place.

[Too be fair, he's not much of a challenge. lol]

 

[PatekPhilippe]

and notice the deflection from the facts I posted....

Though a Shelby spokesperson would not confirm that these programs were behind the blanket hold

just ignoring facts doesn't make your side of this debate any more credible....in fact it makes you look like an idiot because you won't address it.

Now, a little more fun.

I've been waiting for Fox news to make a mention of this.
Checking their web page, listening to FNC.

NOTHING.

I just checked it again on their website. Did a search for Shelby. NOTHING.

According to this source (in case I missed it on the air) :

"as of Friday night, according to LexisNexis, Fox's major shows had yet to discuss the story..."

NOTHING.

One can only imagine the outrage that would ensue over at Fox News if a Democrat were holding up several nominations because of unfulfilled earmarks.

Isn't that revealing?
A fairly significant story like this and not a peep from the "Fair & Balanced" channel.
