They are a breed onto themselves. They are called "pirate" politicians because they are particularly cunning when it comes to dirty tricks and things like stalling and killing bills seemingly "out of nowhere." Thats why they call them "pirates" they come out of nowhere generally at the very last minute when it appears the opposition is gaining ground and might actually pose a threat to them. That gives them the signal to take some "dirty trickster" type action that would stall or kill the bill. If not, they would lose special interest money & votes. Two examples of "pirate" politicians are Goodlatte and Larry Craig. Of course, there are more, but not many,....there dosent need to be. Remember what ex-Rep. John Sweeny said,in his "Politics of Horse Slaughter' interview a decade or so ago? He said, in so many words, it doesnt matter how popular a bill may be, "it only takes ONE "pirate" to kill it. That is why FOES is so anxious to commence the fight "on all fronts," - they do not believe in waiting on politicians to give them what they want. They know there are other ways to go about it,...very powerful ways,if only people would believe and empower themselves to do it. We DO have the power to change things, and fast,...but it takes a UNITED FRONT. There is no unity or organization in the anti-slaughter camp. The "movement" isnt moving. Everyone seems to be off doing their own thing & the slaughter keeps right on going. We will NEVER put an end to horse slaughter if we dont get our shit together and put some pressure on the PsTB! <BR/><BR/>As far as FOES giving up the fight? Never happen! The only thing "FOES" has given up is trying to organize people for a series of Nationwide "Industry Accountability" Campaigns all across the USA, at every industry event, if possible. Sadly, "FOES" has had to cancell that endeavor due to lack of interest and they are are tired of beating their head against that wall. Can you blame them? "They" have only one head between them! However, aint nothin much otherwise changed with FOES. Aint nothing gonna deter them in their fight to make a better world for all animals anytime anywhere anyplace, particularly the equines, particularly the wild ones - particularly now.Mz.Many Nameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03024590325712635526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6460941708854974581.post-35868263498984139352008-11-11T12:54:00.000-05:002008-11-11T12:54:00.000-05:00This post is an excellent example of misdirected a...This post is an excellent example of misdirected anger. It should have been written to all those in DC who have prevented this bill from coming to the senate floor, for a vote. <BR/><BR/>As long as we have deceitful, pro-slaughter politicians who have the power to delay or destroy the anti-slaughter bill, we, as citizens, are not to be blamed for lack of diligence in ending horse slaughter.<BR/><BR/>This post tells me FOE is giving up the fight.
