Dummy Jeff Flake is No Einstein: That's Why When US House Voted to Honor Einstein Fellows, 405-5, Science-Hating Jeff Flake Voted No


Arizona Congressman Jeff Flake is no Einstein; on that, even most Republicans agree. We guess that's why Flake has a hatred of Einstein and science and intelligence in general. Uneducated dummies like Flake usually do.

Yesterday the U.S. House of Representatives voted 405-5 to pass an utterly uncontroversial resolution celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellowship Program and recognizing the significant contributions of Albert Einstein Fellows.

Anyone reading this website before knows that when you have any vote as lopsided as that, one of the tiny of minority of morons voting no will be Jeff Flake (shown here in a 2008 photo).

Lazy and undisciplined, unable to work well with his colleagues even within his own party, Jeff Flake has no way to show off but to vote no on resolutions like this. He's like the obnoxious class clown who strives to get attention to deflect from the fact that he can't read. Out-of-step Jeff Flake is so stupid and spiteful, he'll vote against honoring Einstein Fellows:

science teachers who, unlike Jeff Flake, are both hard-working and highly intelligent.

House Passes FHA Reform Act to 'Rebuild the American Dream of Homeownership' 406-4 with Family-Hating Fanatic Jeff Flake Voting No


Today, Arizona's family-hating Congressman Jeff Flake was one of only four U.S. House members to vote against House Resolution (HR) 5074, the FHA Reform Act, to help families realize the dream of homeownership, protect Americans from mortgage fraud and save taxpayers money. The bill passed overwhelmingly by a vote of 406-4, with AZ-06's oddball Jeff Flake, as usual, being one of a tiny minority of weirdo legislators in either party to try to block legislation helping American families.

In addition to strengthening the FHA's capital base by raising mortgage insurance premiums, the bill aims to crack down on FHA-approved lenders. For example, the bill grants FHA the authority to terminate a lender's approval on a national basis due to the performance of regional branches.

The final version of the bill includes "reforms that will rebuild the American dream of homeownership and reduce federal spending by $2.5 billion," House Democrats said in a statement, adding that the bill "protects Americans from mortgage fraud and holds the FHA accountable by improving its internal reporting systems and providing greater transparency to the public and Congress."

Industry groups are already embracing the bill's aims to maintain the availability of financing in the mortgage market. "The reforms contained in this bill will help stabilize FHA's finances by allowing the agency to raise its annual premiums and better take corrective action against lenders who are putting the program at risk," said Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) chairman Robert Story Jr, in an e-mail.

"Importantly, the bill also contains provisions to increase FHA's multifamily loan limits for elevator buildings and in extremely high cost areas," Story added. "One of MBA's top legislative priorities, increasing the multifamily limits in this way will help lenders finance the construction and refurbishment of much-needed affordable rental housing in many urban areas of this country."

Jeff Flake, of course, hates American families and if re-elected, will continue to block all efforts to improve affordability for both homeowners and renters. The laissez-faire free-market fanatic ideologue,

opposed here by 165 of his Republican colleagues, has made no secret of his desire to destroy the American family. Anti-family forces are putting thousands of dollars behind his current campaign for another term in Congress.

As House Votes Contingent Repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," Backwards Jeff Flake Marches the Wrong Way


Yesterday, in a very belated correction of decades of discrimination, the House voted for a contingent repeal of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy, finally recognizing that the sexual orientation of American military troops is irrelevant to their ability to serve our country.

Rep. Jeff Flake voted no. As we've seen earlier this week, often when only a handful of Republicans are in the minority, Flake will be with that outlier group. But yesterday he didn't have the courage and good sense of Ron Paul and the other four Republican House members who stood up for decency.

As Sen. Joseph Lieberman, Independent of Connecticut, and a sponsor of the companion Senate bill, noted:

The ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy doesn’t serve the best interests of our military and doesn’t reflect the best values of our country. Bottom line: thousands of service members have been pushed out of the U.S. military not because they were inadequate or bad soldiers, sailors, Marines or airmen but because of their sexual orientation. And that’s not what America is all about.


Of course, out-of-step radical politician Jeff Flake has never understood what America is all about.
