homicides now. just final question. if you re waking up in this small town, i know we were talking to the judge, this kind of town where your neighbors know neighbors. who do you proceed? how do you not constantly look over your shoulder? i m sure that the people in kaufman county, most of them who know each other, people that come into the county, they are very concerned about maybe their safety, but also the safety of law enforcement personnel. these murders, the three murders seem to me to be specifically aimed at certain people in particular roles in law enforcement, not other people in the community. that s why now the texas rangers, fbi and law enforcement will find these culprits and bring them to justice. but people are very concerned about their own safety. congressman ted poe, we appreciate your time with us this morning. thank you. the concern is certainly understandable this morning.
concern and the people getting out. but in the big scheme of things nationwide, there has really not been that many attacks on prosecutors. 13 have been killed over the last 30 years. but more prosecutors are watching out for their own safety and the safety of their families and judges, as well, because people sometimes have become more violent and don t like not only the case, but the case that the prosecutor is investigating. and in this case, it seems to me like this was a case where the d.a. s office was investigating certain criminal gang and that s why these events may have occurred. so here we have congressman poe over the course of the last two months, an assistant district attorney here in kaufman county, then d.a., we were talking to the mayor a little earlier this morning and he brought up this point about who they could find to fill the role. take a listen. this is mayor fortner.

as we head closer to the edge of the fiscal cliff. and house republicans had harsh words for president obama after he released a budget proposal suggesting more taxes, more spending. he wants the power to raise the debt ceiling without congressional approval and they cannot issue an edict like a monarchy, congress, congress, congress is in charge of the purse. the government has gone wild. dave: in that congressman s words has they become a monarchy, explaining from texas, congressman poe. good morning, dave. dave: how has this administration become like a monarchy? well, the president in his proposal basically said, turn everything over to me, give me the power or let me take the power to raise the debt ceiling, that seems to be quite arrogant on his part and if he s serious about it, they
