Rampant CORRUPTION!!! Throw them all OUT!!!

Rampant, in your face, corruption! But guess what, they don't care. They are not even hiding the fact they are totally corrupt any longer. They are no longer elected public servants, they are now the ruling elite.

No. It isn't.

They know they can't be touched until next year, and for that they've got the conservatives at the throat of the GOP helping keep dems untouchable.

So they're safe. And they can do this stuff right out in the open with no fear of repercussions. They'll even sponsor your march if you like!

I don’t care if 4000 jobs were “saved or created”. Public money going to political hacks is wrong.

“3 Years more, sis.”

I honestly don’t believe there will be another election. As Glenn Beck continues to point out, knowing now, as we do, what they are unbelievably, but fully capable of.... would they really be doing ALL OF THIS if they thought for a second that they were risking loss of their power in the next elections? I think not. And as I just said in a previous post...the question is...”will the suspension of the next elections cause a (reactive) war, or, will a (proactive) war cause the suspension of next elections? I know my preference, but either way, I believe the suspension will happen....they’ve got too many years and too much $$$$ already invested into this “fundamental transformation of America”. Welcome to Venezuela.”

“”OMG!! THIS IS THE LAST STRAW!!!!!!!!!!!””

That’s what I thought when I saw the story about Detroit school teachers being forced to lend money to the schools. Of course, it’s not the feds but exactly the same mentality as resides in DC. Then on the heels of that, comes this!

Unless we surround the Capitol with protesters/busses/trucks/tractors/whatever - no one in or out - nothing is going to change. They simply have tuned us out and we are all going to end up with ulcers while they continue to destroy this country.

I think we should have one big protest/movement and that’s BOYCOTT the 2010 elections by ALL CONSERVATIVES! They are going to buy/steal their seats anyway so why are we knocking ourselves out? They haven’t been building those million dollar war chests for nothing. They have a purpose and they intend to use those $$$ for 2010.

Don’t underestimate the enemy....

My only question is what “our side” can do about it?

Can we start a list of ideas, which even include publicity items, campaigns, ways to get it noticed by the “47%” that still worship the great Obama.

“This was part of Axelrods debt repayment scheme to get H behind Zero and I highly doubt its the only payoff.”

Why I bet Obamalama even gave Bill and Hil a courtesy phone call before going after swiss bank and other assorted off-shore accounts. Gotta know where to send the bagmen.

Bet the rent Hillary can't be directly linked to the payment. Also bet the rent Penn would not have gotten paid if he was not in her campaign.

This is why people hate Washington. The rot is so deep corruption and the cover up is automatic.

How can the average citizen initiate a law suit against these out of control criminals? What can we do about this outrageous theft? There must be some orgaization that can start it? I would contribute to the fund.

Beck is often right on target, but some of his stuff requires a dose of salt to whet the whipped up ragged edge.

If elections are suspended, what do you think will be the result? Do you think all us Armed And Really Pissed citizens will just shrug and say “ya sur Masser”?

I’ve had it.

We have felons and gate crashers maybe going to the white house.
We have commies, ex cons etc in the white house.
We have mass killer lovere in the white house
money is getting pout about all the time to their groups
ACORN AND BOZO SAYS HE KNOWS NOTHING

the list is endless and I for one am fed up of this corruption and excuses.

Even a Dem form NJ today on fox and friends was blaming Bush.
WTH

get over it and look to the future

I swear I have had enough of this crap, the NEA, the SEIU, , unions, teachers, public schools, a man who shows and pushes homosexuality and yes the f-in media who fail to report most of this because they are protecting their master

My blood pressure right now is sky high and to think I am still young and have 3 little kids.
