[STARWISE]

They are so evil, so despicably evil and disgusting.

Are we in an alternative universe .. ? Are the sheeple really ok with these thugs ?

[ScottinVA]

“Are the sheeple really ok with these thugs?”

Unfortunately, yes.

[b4its2late]

Pathetic

[M. Espinola]

To them it’s free money, just like the TARP.

[Sloth]

This is *explicitly* illegal.

[Centurion2000]

This is *explicitly* illegal.

Damn right it is.

[La Enchiladita]

TERM LIMITS!!!!

Tar and Feathers!!!!!

[henkster]

Our government is broken. It no longer works for the people. Unfortunately, thanks to the democrat socialists in power and in the msm propaganda organs, we’ve had our last fair election. As for the GOP, see tagline.

[chuck_the_tv_out]

light posts & rope.

[SoldierDad]

Bawney Frank with elongated objects in his face paints a horrid picture.

Since these corrupt clowns are *SUPPOSED* to work for the taxpayer,then as their employer, taxpayers should determine their salaries and budgets. Show me a company where the employees determine their own salaries and budgets, and can, at will, give themselves a raise. Show me one, and I’ll show you a company destined for bankruptcy court.

First they stole our money. Next they stole our will to resist. Before they are done, they will steal our souls.

“Offensive and repulsive....Congress is a joke.”

What you said.

[Theodore R.]

The joke is the American sheeple, too dumb to know the danger they face.

[Theodore R.]

Many of the sheeple have already received their EITC checks, and the others are patiently waiting.

[Reagan is King]

They keep giving Republicans political ammo by the trainload and there's no one with a clue in the party that knows how to use it. There's only one party in charge up there and everything should be pinned on them. It has a cumulative effect and you can't just wait until 3 months before the election to start doing it.

I guess we can expect another "press release" by Boehner from the comfort of his plush office. The Dems would be raking the Pubs over the coals DAILY with this stuff if the situation was reversed.

[SeattleBruce]

HYPOCRITES!! Throw them out by any and all means!!

[SeattleBruce]

“The Dems would be raking the Pubs over the coals DAILY with this stuff if the situation was reversed. “

You keep forgetting who sets the press’ agenda...they have four estates in their power - or perhaps five if you consider the dirty Chicago politics card obammy holds up his sleeve..

That’s not to say we should be trying and screaming this stuff daily - lying, cheating, stealing (Pelosi, Reid, Frank and all their friends...)

[LibertyRocks]

“But House officials contend that they use the phrase “election year” without meaning to draw a link to the election. The phrase is “generically used to reference the second year of a Congressional cycle,” said Jeff Ventura, spokesman for CAO Dan Beard.”

Yeah... I might believe that... for maybe a second.

TERM LIMITS!!!!

Prison sentences.

Worse.

[who knows what evil?]

I WAS a big supporter of term limits until I saw Glenn Beck’s show on ACORN yesterday...now I’m leaning toward ‘prison sentences’.
