"Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., who is battling legal troubles and mental illness, is likely to resign from Congress and face jail time under the terms of a plea deal his lawyer is negotiating with the federal government."

This is how our voters have degenerated to where no one can explain. Every voter in Jesse Jackson’s district knew that he was under investigation and will likely be convicted. But these people still voted for him in a massive way. Now that he will face prison time and be kicked out of his office or be forced to resign. What were these voters thinking of? I guess it’s true, that you can’t fix “STUPID”.

To me that said it all about where this country is....how do you turn around from that? I don't see it.

Odd. DemocRATS almost always avoid jail, and advance in their career. No matter, the 60 plus percent that reelected JJ's spawn tells you that this was the 0bamaphone election.

We have reached the tipping point. More takers than Makers. More marxists than Patriots.

Buckle up, it's going to be a rough ride...

Liberalism IS a mental disease. Jr is the poster boy.

Jesse Sr. should run. That way the people of Chicago “won’t worry but be happy.”

Not exactly subtle, is it.

Subtle as an RPG at an NRA Competitive Shoot.

I’ve posted this before. I talked to one of the movers who moved him to D.C. when he was first elected. He said every piece of furiture, lamps, rugs, everything, was white.

Someone would have to PAY ME $40,000. to wear something that ugly. If I offered it to my wife she would be insulted. This is just another in a long line of things about today’s reality that I just don’t “get”. Why do otherwise beautiful women want to wear very visible and disgustingly ugly tattoos and piercings? Why does anyone want to see how absurd they can look? Why do those who have vast wealth want to spend it to make fools of themselves?

Actually it all reminds me of a line from an old episode of “ALL IN THE FAMILY” in which the character of “Maude” is introduced. Maude responds to some comment from Archie by saying, “Still fighting mental HEALTH, I see.” Much of what is going on these days seems to fit if you consider it as fighting mental health rather than fighting mental illness.

Here’s the supposed girlfriend/bimbo of JJJ:

If true, she should have taken diamonds, gold or cash. That watch is TRASH. I wouldn’t wear it at gunpoint!

“...Why does anyone want to see how absurd they can look? Why do those who have vast wealth want to spend it to make fools of themselves?...”

There is no connection between common sense, pride of self and way too much money, for 90% of the people who have it.
