Yes they do. Ted Kennedy seemed to feel he owned his seat till death did he part, and remembering the Scott Brown race for "Ted Kennedy's seat" which in reality was the "peoples seat" held far too long by the Massachusetts criminal. The shock factor that "Kennedy;s seat" didn't automatically go to a Democrat since it "belonged" to Kennedy was priceless when it in fact went to a Republican.

Excellent. You summed up Mr. Sowells point well.

Agreed!!!

Now the legislators are having issues. When it was taxpayer money, they figured it out, but now that it's a private investors cash, somehow they have issues. Go figure when your dealing with a predominantly Liberal pool of politicians.

Seattle went through this twice and ready for number three. First was for the Mariners and was shot down until the legislators twisted the numbers and we now have SafeCo field. Then it was Seahawks stadium aka/ Quest field, now Century Link field. Funny how those hidden taxes work. Well, then it was time to look at the NBA in Seattle and a new stadium. The result was the Seattle Super Sonics becoming the Oklahoma City Thunder and Seattle left NBAless. In some cities that is not always a bad thing, however, Seattle became a huge NBA fan base with sold out games at their worst. Wait several years and out pop's a private investor ready to dish out 800 million of his own cash to bring the NBA back to Seattle with a bonus first time NHL club

I guess that would be determined by where the cash came from and if he had the right to use it as hush money. I think you are right, but even if it was used without proper consent, who will stand up to this mob boss ? A little blind eyed embezzlement goes a long way to shut someone with no morals or principals up. The free pass prez does as he pleases.

And sometimes the customer is just wasting time and there's no need to continue the sales pitch.

Sometimes the car isn't worth it and the salesman is a moron.

LMAO!!! What else can be said of such ignorance........I guess you are satisfied with the established corruption in DC and are happy to stay blind to the biggest ponzi scheme in our history. Do we need to continue supporting these people who come away from office far richer than what their salaries dictate ? The swamp needs to be cleaned from both sides.

Sounds more like you are devolved of critical thinking. The headline obviously brought you in and the article is a political piece that highlights three candidates who seem to not bow to the establishment Republicans, Something Congress desperately needs. How is a political column on a political site "devolved" ? Your post doesn't make a bit of sense.
