You forget that his dad started the Family Plantation for tax slaves in the 30’s.

His family has held this apparently hereditary fiefdom since FDR was first elected in 1933.

Other than politicians hanging from lampposts and heads impaled on pikes, the solution to this problem is....Term Limits.

His dad, John Dingell, Sr., held what was then an inner-city Detroit district from 1933 until his death in 1955. A 29-year old Junior won the special election that same year. The district he was first elected to no longer exists (having to move westward with each successive redistricting, to the point that he now has Ann Arbor), it now essentially being in one of the two Black districts (in ‘55, Detroit was a booming city of 2 million, with a Republican Mayor and majority White).

Who is Dingel-berry’s opponent? I am in the giving mood (already gave to Angle and O’Donnell), I think I might drop a few notes to get rid of this POS TOO!!!

The Fedgov told the people “To Hell with what u want.” Now the people are answering back “To Hell with YOU.”

What happened after the 1st TEA Party? A revolution of course! Too bad none of these RATS aren’t going up against the wall though. They deserve as much.
