California Congresswoman demands her paycheck during a shutdown, can’t survive on $174,000 per year
Linda Sanchez, one of the two sinister Sanchez sisters in Congress, apparently has so little money in the bank that she can’t survive a government shutdown without her paycheck.
Linda Sanchez, one of the two sinister Sanchez sisters in Congress, is symbolic of the government she is part of. The woman makes a hefty $174,000 per year plus a long list of bennies, but apparently has so little money in the bank that she can’t survive a government shutdown without her paycheck.
“I have to tell you that I live paycheck-to-paycheck, like most Americans,” Sanchez wailed. “I’m still paying off my student loans. I have a 2-year-old son who I have to support, and I have to maintain residences on both coasts. It’s very difficult for me to say, ‘Hey, I can give up my paycheck,’ because the reality is, I have financial obligations that I have to meet on a month-to-month basis that doesn’t make it possible for me.”
“Now, if you’re a member of Congress who is a millionaire and there are quite a few members of the House and Senate that are, it’s really not a problem for them,” Sanchez complained. “But they don’t share the experience that most Americans share, that I know, having grown up in a family of seven kids to immigrant parents that you have to really stretch a paycheck to make sure that it covers everything. And, you know, this suggestion that it’s so easy for every single lawmaker to do that, that’s just simply not the case for a lot of us.”
At least she’s consistent. As a good liberal Democrat she’s spent the country to the brink of a fiscal nightmare and as an individual she’s done the same thing.
But if she truly wants to be consistent, perhaps she can simply borrow some money from China.
Linda Sanchez, meet Jamiel Shaw, white supremacist
Holding a pair of deuces in a race-card game to inflame the legal residents of the country, Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) called Arizona’s new anti-illegal alien law the product of “white supremacist groups.”
Holding a pair of deuces in a race-card game to inflame the legal residents of the country, Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) called Arizona’s new anti-illegal alien law the product of “white supremacist groups.”
The San Gabriel Valley Tribune reports Sanchez’ ill-advised comment:
“There’s a concerted effort behind promoting these kinds of laws on a state-by-state basis by people who have ties to white supremacy groups,” said the lawmaker, who is of Mexican descent. “It’s been documented. It’s not mainstream politics.”
Based on that comment, would it be wrong of us if we demanded to see Linda Sanchez’ documents? The ones that tie the Arizona law to white supremacist groups, that is.
And while we’re in a demanding kind of mood, there’s one other thing we’d like to demand. Take a look in your own back yard, Linda, and speak to the family of Jamiel Shaw.
The innocent teen was killed in Los Angeles in 2008 by an illegal alien gang member who had been recently released from jail. Jamiel’s family supports the Arizona law.
And we think they might have some serious trouble joining a white supremacist group.

One of the sinister Sanchez sisters wants blog gulag
You never know what to expect from the sinister Sanchez sisters – Linda and Loretta both Democrat representatives from California – but you know it won’t be good.
Rep Linda Sanchez, a California Democrat, says, “Congress has no interest in censoring.” Of course, she said that in defense of her bill that censors the internet.
Sister Linda has introduced the Megan Meier Cyberbullying Prevention Act. Despite her claim that “Congress has no interest in censoring,” Civil libertarians call the overly-broad bill “the Internet Censorship Act of 2009.”
“Put simply,” she commented in a piece for the Huffington Post, “this legislation would be used as a tool for a judge and jury to determine whether there is significant evidence to prove that a person ‘cyberbullied’ another. That is: did they have the required intent, did they use electronic means of communication, and was the communication severe, hostile, and repeated? So — bloggers, e-mailers, texters, spiteful exes and those who have blogged against this bill have no fear — your words are still protected under the same American values.”
Sanchez shows her deep commitment to the First Amendment by including the phrase “so-called free speech” in her HuffPo article.
Methods of communication where so-called hostile speech would be criminalized include telephones, websites, e-mail, instant messaging, blogs, and text messages. No word of whether sexting is included.
Murphy’s Law says, “Whatever can go wrong will go wrong.” It’s corollary, Sanchez’ Law says, “Whatever I say is wrong is wrong.”
