Ya know, that was exactly the first travesty that came to mind.

The second thing was that they would try to resurrect the Custer "hero" myth.

You know why a banana is like a politician?
When he first comes in he is green, then he turns yellow and then he's rotten..


I think Congressmen should wear uniforms like NASCAR drivers so we could identify their corporate sponsors.

Yes, even though the nation of New Echota won a stay in the Supreme Court, Andrew Jackson refused to back the win with Federal Troops and the red necks of GA over ran, killed and sent packing all that remained of the peace loving original landowners of N. GA.  That bout sum it up?

  I think he should change the spelling of his last name.  To B - O - N - E - R.  I think Boner fits him better.

  Great news.

  The Stock Market is up 48% in the last 2 years.  Now in hell can the Republicans say that Obama hates business.  More lies from the Republican Party.  Jerks and dicks.

ALL politicians are in the pockets of big business (especially the financial sector) and the ultra rich.  There are no exceptions, obama included.  They are all bag men for the exodus of wealth from the middle class (over the last 40yrs, but big time starting with raygunz) to the ultra rich.  Big oil, pharma, insurance, financials own them all.  If you think "your guy" is legit, you better think again.

Newt Gingrich calls for bill to allow state bankruptcies
By Eric Sanderson
January 18th, 2011


Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is putting his legislative weight behind a bill that would clear the way for states to file for bankruptcy.

Gingrich says this would help limit future bailouts to states struggling with former employees' pension funds and other benefit promises in the current financial downturn.

http://www.bankruptcyhome.com/bankruptcy-news/800349396/Newt-Gingrich-calls-for-bill-to-allow-state-bankruptcies--

Essentially, what this says to state workers (who have worked for years and looking forward to retirement on their pensions) is "Screw you and your fricking pension."  :rant:
