How Liberals Are Draining That Swamp of Corruption...

25 Comments

Who indeed

keeps voting these thieves in? More than likely it's people who haven't a clue who it is they're voting for.In my neck of the woods,I believe folks vote on name recognition.They know they should vote,but don't have a clue who to vote for so they go with name recognition.

Case in point,as kooky as he is,folks continue to vote in Dennis Kusinich year after year.It doesn't matter how loony he gets,he's got a job for life because he's in the news.They vote for him because they recognise his name on the ballot.Pretty sad...

USA Eagle

Good comment. Like voting for Bernie Sanders or Chappaquiddick Ted. People definately take their vote lightly!

Some people

have simply been indoctrinated to vote for the D each and every time, no matter who it is. These are the same kinda people who voted for Mugabe in Zimbabwe.

Gunny

I've said for a long time that the libs are only interested in power and money. They prove it every day. The sad thing is that the lamestream media refuses to say one word about any of this. If it were a Republican these stories would be on the covers or Newsweak and Slime and the NYT and all over Tom Brokaw's lips and Snupholupogas's show on Sundays.
USA Eagle, you got it. Too many people vote on name recognition. Among other shallow reasons.

Gunny

The Conyers,both of 'em,SHOULD be in fed lockup somewhere. Arrogant POS's anyway.Cockrel's chief of staff was caught on tape taking a cash bag,and this azshat would like ALL to believe HE didn't get some of it? Kwame as well. There is NO WAY that kind of money going around Kwame is going to stay away from. Money to libs is like s#!t to flies.Also was reported last night SEVERAL more women have come out and said Kwame slept with THEM as well. Wonder when his wife will super-glue his "lil pal" to his navel? THIS is what happens when the Republican Party ABANDONS an entire area,like they have SE Mich.I CANNOT find a R anywhere in Detroit,or Wayne county gov't. Here in the PRoAA,the R caucus room was turned into a breast-feeding room,due to the FACT there are NO R's in city gov't.As far as the voters returning this type of scum to office,as long as the pols keep on playing that race card in Detroit they will win. The ads pretty much say to voters,"Do you want L.Brooks Patterson picking YOUR officials"? Works every time.Between that,and the useless Granholm,no wonder Mich. has turned third-world. Just the way libs seem to like it.

Morning, all,

I've said it before. Most of the libs success is from the fact that they rename everything. They'll drain swamps until they rename it a wetlands. One must save wetlands, they can't be drained or improved. Now if we can rename drilling and call it some sort of fancy name, libs will go for it. In the meantime, corruption is a way of life for them. Congresswhores all of them.

Hey Clyde

Haven't you noticed,black politicians are untouchable,no matter how criminal they get.

Crawfish

This country is going the same way as good ol Zimbabwe,down the toilet.

Give Me A Party That Fights (Dirty)

Every time a Republican gets caught with his hand in a cookie jar or in Cookie's jar or whatever the Dems immediately go on the offensive to have an investigation and/or start immediately calling for his resignation.

The 'Pubs don't seem to want to do this. They let the dems slide every time. It goes from anger to frustration to ...boring.

I'm looking for another party. One with a little grit.

I once thought McCain was a Democrat mole in the Republican party. I am beginning to blieve the whole damn Republican party is secretly in the Democrat camp. Both of them are in the Socialist/Communist camp.

USA Eagle

Everyone knows how corrupt congress is and everyone wants it cleaned up. all except for THEIR corrupt congressman who brings THEM gifts from Uncle Sam.
Everyone wants everyone else to throw THEIR corrupt congressman out.

so nobody's corrupt congressman gets thrown out.

Buck

When you find that party let me know.

Buck

Good point.It isn't my guy,it's the lame guy you all are voting in.

And,as i've read on multiple threads and firmly believe,the republican party has actually become the neo-democrat party.The democrats have gone so far left they need a new name.The conservatives have been deceived and abandoned and now also need to find a new name.

I too am looking for another party,one not only with grit,but common sense and the integrity to do what's right,according to the constitution!

What a mess...I think I need a score card...

The Crawfish

You got THAT right. Small wonder the librecrats like dumbing down the schools. Keeps the voters too stupid to see the light. For example, 50% of DC is functionally illiterate.

beachmom

One word sums up their votes:

handouts.

clyde

And the dummycrats want to allow mooks like this to run their forced universal health care!

MD/MG

Rush was talking about how even Dummycrat Congcritters are now running scared of the American people on the drilling issue.

drillbit

HAHA! Yeah, they did an oopsey while the guilt-filled white liberal medialooks the other way in fear of another Rodent King outburst!

drillbit

No it won't my friend. They'll try, we'll resist, and crush the libvermin like we should have done after McCarthy uncovered the commie sscum had infiltrated the Govt and academia.

Buck

I CONCUR!

I'd LOVE to see a hard-a**ed Conservative rise up, who IS NOT AFRAID to go bare-knuckles with the lib scum. If I had the dough, I'd run and fillet these vermin.

New Party Names

I agree, the parties need to be renamed, if for no other reason, to wake up the voting idiots.
What the dimmys are today, are simply socialists if not outright communists, but I can go with Socialists.
The Rep's today are what the Dems were 25 years ago.
For those of us who want the govt out of our lives except to protect us from criminals and invaders, we have no party and sure as ell no canidates in the upcoming POTUS election, AND I'LL DAMN WELL BET WE ARE THE MAJORITY....at least for now.

I agree!

I am so sick of Republicans who are like jellyfish.
"
Ohhh, I want everyone to like me. That way we can get things done."

Bulloney!!
Give me someone who will do what's right regardless of who isn't going to like you. Too many wusses.

Hey! Bobby Jindal and Sarah Palin!!!

Gunny, Most Voters Vote To Keep...

getting their government handouts, keep their phoney government job, or because they have been "paid" to vote a certain way.

The Founding Fathers wanted intelligent voters. In fact, unless I am mistaken, in the early days of our Republic, you had to be a property owner to vote.

What we need, short of Revolution, are term limits, voter ID's to prevent multiple votes, and the MSM doing their job.

more collateral damage

Detroit FOX-TV2 news-bimbo Franchon Stinger got her sorry a$$ fired for being involved w/ this whole fiasco of Detroit corrupt politics...read story at debbieschlussel.com today.

Gunny G, C-Fish

Let's see:
George Washington. Gen'l
Zachary Taylor, Gen'l
Andrew Jackson, Gen'l
US Grant, Gen'l
T Roosevelt, Col.
HS Truman, Capt
Eisenhower, Gen'l
JF Kennedy, Ltjg
LB Johnson, Ltcdr
R Nixon, Ltcdr
J Carter, Ltjg
RReagan, Sgt*
Bush XLI Ltjg
Bush XLIII, Capt

*Reagan was making war films and someone correct me if I am wrong but I believe he was an Army Sargeant.

But at any rate... All those officers, mostly generals and they have screwed up things so bad it would take a Senior Chief to straighten them back out again.

Gunny, maybe you and the C-Fish SHOULD consider running for office as a 1-2 punch....

Dear Buck

I think Ronald Reagan was a captain. Henry Kissinger, however, was a sergeant.
