Rogue Senator Evan Bayh Retires: Good Riddance

Every cloud has a silver lining.

That's what we said on Monday when we learned that dad basher Evan Bayh, U.S. senator from Indiana, would not be running for reelection.

Bayh, as readers of our website will know, is featured on our POLITICAL ROGUES GALLERY for joining Barack Obama's tag team on non-custodial parents through his support of a bill to further abuse the rights of non-custodial parents.

As readers of our site will also recall, Bayh was also guilty of several ethical lapses during his tenure in the U.S. Senate, among them failing to report that he is an officer of a family charity and voting on health care issues while his wife sits on the boards of pharmaceutical and health insurance companies.

While Bayh claims he is leaving the Senate because he's disgusted with Congress, it's more likely that he's running scared from the massive wave of voter dissatisfaction threatening incumbents from coast to coast.  But another more likely reason he is leaving is because he's not all that interested in good governance anyway.

In early reports of his decision not to run for reelection, Bayh's aides said that he was recently not present for a number of Senate votes and wanted to spend more times at his childrens' baseball games.

We at NCPForce! find this both grimly humorous and revealing.  The Absent Senator who wanted to trash absent dads, who wants to spend more time with his family while oppressing those who have been cut off from their children by the state.

It's a great day when rubbish like this conveys itself to the trash heap.  It saves us the trouble of taking out the garbage through the political campaigns we'd planned to help undermine his reelection bid.

The only problem is that Bayh will likely move on to a new career as lobbyist where he can continue ruining the quality of life for most Americans while earning heaps of cash.

And let us not forget, another dad basher is likely to sprout up in his place in the Senate.  Republican Congressman Mike Pence is said to be gunning for Bayh's seat and fathers' rights / NCP rights activists shouldn't take their eyes off him.

This is Mike Pence's website: http://mikepence.house.gov/

Let's all pay it a visit and let him know through his contact page that non-custodial parents are watching him.  And that he'll be added to our ROGUE'S GALLERY if he thinks about abusing us.

Sen. Evan Bayh -- Dad Basher -- Wants Obama Off-Limits

Sen. Evan Bayh, the dad-bashing legislator from Indiana who sponsored Barack Obama's Responsible Fatherhood and Healthy Families Act, is now using a party crashing incident at last week's White House state dinner as a pretext for cutting off civilian access to the President.

Bayh claims to be so upset that reality TV party crashers Michaele and Tareq Salahi got close enough to shake the Dad Basher-in-Chief's hand that he wants an "example made", and suggests tighter rules for gaining access to President Obama.

The Salahis, it should be noted, made no threatening actions to the President, nor were they in any way armed or intent on doing the President harm.

Bayh's dramatics come as Obama orders thousands more troops to Afghanistan and seems set to widen the bloody conflict in that nation, while at the same time threatening America's financial well-being with his ill-conceived health reform plan.

Clearly, Bayh is trying to give Obama cover by making it harder for anyone -- perhaps even members of the press corps -- to get close enough to the President to ask any questions.

Recently, Bayh also threw his support behind the Cybersecurity Act of 2009 which would give Obama dictatorial powers over the internet (see our update of Bayh's profile in our POLITICAL ROGUES' GALLERY at http: www.ncpforce.com/rogues.html#bayhupdate).
