I understand when “Politician is arrested” is announced everyone assumes it’s a Democrat.
When you hear the word, “terrorist” you assume they are Muslims.

LOL. Popcorn’s a sore subject with me at the moment. Mr. Mew dropped his big bag of faux-buttered popcorn all over me when we were at the movies a couple of weeks ago. I’m still finding bits in my purse.

This scumbag has a 4% approval rating in Illinois and yet the state gave Hussein 70% of the vote.Are the voters of IL schizophrenic or something?
There does seem to be a problem with some of the population back there around IL, WI, and MN. As I have stated before my MN brother just completed a visit and we were talking about his state truly deserved a tax cheating pornographer for Senator and he says members of our own family state openly they would vote for a monkey before ever pulling a lever for a Republican, That is how bad they hate Republicans. They cannot be reasoned with, it is something in their DNA. Once a RAT, it seems it sticks forever no matter who the candidate is. Once a RAT has gotten a handout from their RAT masters, they will never be turned - this is what foretells of disaster with the pending conversion of 30 million illegal aliens into voters. Non of them will be pulling the GOP lever, if given their freedom by the RATS, coupled with lots of public treasury goodies.
It was nice being a GOP while it lasted.

BHOs dirty laundry may come out. Stay tuned!No. It won't come out from Blago. Hopefully, this will involve Mayor Daley though.
To: KeyLargo
This is the political world that Obama thrived in. Blago is spineless and will sing like a canary once the Feds squeeze him. Maybe Durbin will write a letter to Bush asking the Pesident to pardon this governor, too.
