This passage as it stand clearly judges Granger. In some cases she is praised in others she is condemned. Word like "inexplicable" do not belong in an encyclopedia because it is the purpose of an encyclopedia to explain, not judge. ====If you know the explanation for why Congresswoman Granger brags on her website about writing balanced budgets in the 1990s and yet has never written one since 2000, please feel free to post that explanation! I, for one, would love to hear it! Until you do, the reasons for her failure remain "inexplicable".
Shouldn't Kay Granger's book be in italics, in bold print, underlined, or in quotation marks? I can't remember which.--Mr.Weirdo 22:42, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Fort Worth Rep. Kay Granger is in Moscow as part of a GOP delegation ahead of President Donald Trump’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin later this month.
The group of seven senators and Granger, who chairs an Appropriations subcommittee that controls billions in defense spending, met Tuesday with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov."
"The video also attacked them for voting against election security bills and in favor of exonerating former President Donald Trump during his first impeachment—when Democrats accused him of withholding military aid to Ukraine to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
"We can't allow his puppets to sink their paws deeper into our government," the advertisement said.
VIDEO 📽️: A day after the Senate Intelligence Committee confirmed Russia interfered in our elections, 8 Republicans flew to Russia for a photo-op. Now they're blaming Biden for the invasion of Ukraine, while repeating Kremlin talking points.

A spokesperson for Kennedy wrote in a statement to Newsweek that he went on the trip to "call Russia to the carpet for attempts at election meddling."
Following the 2018 trip, which did not include a meeting with Putin, the lawmakers faced criticism, but defended the meetings. Shelby, who led the delegation, said at the time that he told Russian officials "the worst thing you can do is try to meddle in our elections."
"We also told them that even though our relationship is strained, it would be better for the world for us to be competitors, always, rather than adversaries. But we'll have to see what happens," Shelby told the Associated Press.
Kennedy told The Advocate in 2018: "I also intend to talk frankly about Russia's attempt to interfere and meddle not only in the United States' elections, but also France's elections, the Brexit vote and the German elections."
Following Russia's invasion, some Republicans have faced criticism for making remarks that some say are pro-Putin. Trump recently faced backlash after he called the Russian president's military moves "genius." North Carolina Representative Madison Cawthorn attacked Zelensky last week by calling him a "thug" who led the "incredibly corrupt" Ukrainian government that pushed "woke ideologies."
The congressman's controversial remarks sparked condemnation from both Democrats and Republicans.
Senator Joni Ernst, a Republican from Iowa, defended the Ukrainian president while slamming Putin as a "murderous thug," while Illinois Representative Adam Kinzinger criticized pro-Putin Republicans who have an "affection for authoritarianism." House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy also called Putin "evil" during a press conference last Wednesday. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.77.114.130 (talk) 22:26, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
