Who would have guessed this woman would have been a Democrat?

[pissant]

Just her version of the reparations we owe her.

[EggsAckley]

Bunch of Grifters.

[Bitsy]

Just her version of the reparations we owe her.

Paid in full by the American Public.

[edzo4]

WTF? $1300 a month for a car payment, no wonder the budget is a disaster

gotta love the dems though also willing to give someone the shirt off your back...

[VaRepublican]

oh look at them, look at them. Does it not take a majority vote to screw us all. I’m tired of all of them there congress folks.........Uhhhh can we say term limits, although in this case I must admit term limits would not have helped.

[SECURE AMERICA]

What?
A Political Hack defrauding the taxpayers?
And she’s a Democrook?
Who would’ve guessed..............

[CaspersGh0sts]

A bit scary that these people are representing our nation’s financial interests, no? Can’t keep a car, much less a house.

How do you decide to elect people like this. “Well, yes, technically, I’ve lost 3 homes. But I assure you all a better life and hope to represent you well in our nation’s capital!”

[DemforBush]

Call me crazy but, given that Congressional Reps make $170,000 /year, is it too much to ask that THEY PAY FOR THEIR OWN FREAKIN’ CAR?!?

[reagan_fanatic]

A protege of Rep. Maxine Waters - she calls Waters "Big Mama" and herself "Little Mama" - Richardson has worked to cultivate an image of success since arriving in Congress last fall. That effort evidently included a major upgrade of her publicly funded car.

Common Welfare: Standing in line to get a taxpayer-funded paycheck.

Liberal Elitist Welfare: Riding in your custom, taxpayer-funded luxury car to get a taxpayer-funded paycheck.

[Jacquerie]

Just her version of the reparations we owe her.

Guilt Bank Account Balance: $0.00

[Jacquerie]

I don’t see what the big deal is. It is her duty to represent her constituents.

[CA Conservative]

I thought Congress was worried about “global warming”, and that gas guzzlers were BAD!! I think all members of congress should be limited to driving a Prius or Accord hybrid, with no AC installed (those nasty CFC’s, you know).

[keithtoo]

She looks like she invested her own money in pizza buffets.

[SGCOS]

..I don’t see what the big deal is. It is her duty to represent her constituents.

right....Richardson is just another black congress-critter who bemoans the turmoil of her constituents and the suffering lifestyle they live, while she is chauffered in a top of the line limo and sticking it to all of us.

Just another congress-critter who is so full of crap and bullshit.

Do you defend that?

When I was a Congressional Aide back in the 90s, my boss drove a beaten-up used minivan. I used to pass Rep. Henry Hyde on the highway and he drove what looked like a 1970s Pontiac. Guess which party they were both in :-)

[servantboy777]

republicans and democrats alike need to be booted from office.

The hell with all this vote for the lesser of two evils thing.

If we keep fishin from the same ol pond, were gonna keep catchin the same ol big mouth bass.
