They need to throw some of that green my way.
ReplyDeleteWe need to THROW THE BUMS OUT!
ReplyDeleteIncompetent legislative regulators should be FIRED!
More than that, they should be fined for all they are worth(i. e., profits accrued after elections)and that money sent to the treasury...then throw the bums in jail, after tarring and feathering them on national tv.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, G*D bless and Maranatha!
tmw
Ride them to jail on a rail publicly too, it's called accountability!
And those who voted for them can fork over some of their assets too, that will teach them to THINK first, then vote!
And the Left will deny these figures till they run out of breath, and Ducky'll add that one of the Republicans is GAY.
ReplyDeleteAnd THAT is that. It negates EVERYTHING ELSE!! (LOL!)
(great illustration, too, Pops!)
Politics = legal thievery.
ReplyDeleteIt's that simple.
Funny how the MSM isn't looking into who's the majority thieves, though. Not.
Thanks for posting this, Jason.
ReplyDeleteI think the current approval rating speaks for itself.
I can see the media headlines now, " 3 of top 10 Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac beneficiaries were Republicans".
ReplyDeletehey, which one of them should i hit up to pay off my student loan debt?
ReplyDeletegood luck in fantasy football today!!!!! :-)
and a huge thanks for your help and advice, as well as making me feel like a non-football idiot. :-)
Brooke and Chuck..IMAGINE?
ReplyDeleteThe media's SO IN THE BAG..they aren't even making a fuss about last night's SNL insinuating Todd Palin has sex with his daughters because there's nothing else to do in Alaska..see that? IMAGINE if a Conservative said THAT about a Lefty?
AND WE ARE ALL QUIET.....!! They have carte blanche to do ANYTHING they wish because, if we complain, we're 'old fashioned', 'can't take a joke'...then they'll OUT the guy complaining, right? grrrrr
Lotta D's in that list...
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm...
I am not sure, but I would scream REVOLT if I ever found out the Feds were also bailing out WAMU. I recently paid off those sons of bitches and I am now a happy camper since I ditched my WAMU credit card.
ReplyDeleteMcCain needs to hammer that point home in the debates. Instead of blaming bush he needs to use this week and the debates to go on the offensive.
ReplyDeletethey need to give the money back...
ReplyDeleteThis here is just the top 25 list. They actually gave to the campaigns of 364 politicians in total.
ReplyDeletehehehe...
ReplyDeletethanks, p.f.
