You are unfortunately correct. As the slimy Trent Lott said, "They need to be co-opted", and the Beltway is perfectly designed to corrupt and co-opt them.

"If ya do what we want, you'll have this lil' privilege, and you know there's these hot lil' chicks over here who want you." Etc, etc, .....get something on them....got something on you, so you better shut up.

1994 all over again? I hope not. But, probably. We got a Republican President and Congress, and what did we get? A 50% increase in the size of gubmint. Should I be more optimistic this time around? Maybe I should be, but I'm not.

So, you are talking about the famous yellow stripped belly crawling weasel aka Trent V*. Lotte?

The man who would sell out his own momma for the pennies on her eyes?

* V stands for Vacant

Hang tight, FlyVet. The patriots took over 30 state legislatures this election. Watch for more brushfires than the keystone federal fascist cops can handle.

BTW, did you notice the average ATF commando has ballooned past 350 lbs? I heard that standard combat issue for an ATF fatso is one defibrillator, a wheelbarrel to roll him around the battlefield and a harpoon-proof vest.

Ahoy, Captain Ahab. Thar she blows!
