Rep. Jack Kingston and the "Demoncrats"


Check out the image above. This particular story was sitting on Jack Kingston's House of Representatives web page for a month. Despite a spokesperson saying it was a typo, it was not corrected until today, after the story hit media outlets.

Here's the thing: normally a typo which involves inserting a character results because the letters are close or adjacent to each other - think about it. So, "o", "n" and "c" are pretty far apart. Typo? Sure, sure.

BTW, this is the same guy who, when told the Democratically-controlled House of Representatives would have to work 5 days a week, said:

"Keeping us up here eats away at families. Marriages suffer. The Democrats could care less about families -- that's what this says."

Even though he thought working five days a week would hurt his and his fellow congressional families, Kingston was decidedly more pro-work (40 hour weeks even!) back in January.

Objecting to efforts to raise the federal minimum wage, Kingston said, "If the Democrat (SIC) Party truly wanted to take on poverty, they would have to say what is the relationship between marriage and the poverty level and between hours worked and the poverty level, because the truth of the matter is, if people end poverty, many of them would marry and work 40 hours a week, they would be out of poverty..."
