The Fox is guarding the Hen House

Post by Jice Virago »

Can you fucking believe this shit?

What I want to know is, does the GOP even give a shit about the mid term elections at this point or what? So much for cleaning up corruption....
War is an option whose time has passed. Peace is the only option for the future. At present we occupy a treacherous no-man's-land between peace and war, a time of growing fear that our military might has expanded beyond our capacity to control it and our political differences widened beyond our ability to bridge them. . . .

Short of changing human nature, therefore, the only way to achieve a practical, livable peace in a world of competing nations is to take the profit out of war.
--RICHARD M. NIXON, "REAL PEACE" (1983)

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, represents, in the final analysis, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."

Dwight Eisenhower

I am guessing it was because he was on the committee before, and we supposedly have this little saying "innocent until proven guilty." Personally I think he's scum, but I cannot think of one politician that isn't in some way.

I also read two days ago that Bush has asked for the redistricting in Texas to please not be reviewed.


Needless to say, I was very disappointed.

You don't take an accused (but not yet convicted) pedophile and make him teach kindergarden. But sure, he hasn't been convicted yet, let him handle the money!

Well perhaps in another 2 years I'll change my mind but in the last 36 I have NEVER seen partism and rampent corruption like we have right now. Yea the Democrats weren't the greatest when they controlled the Senate but the stuff they did verses the crap today makes them look like Boy Scouts.

Boehner, Delay's replacement as speaker of the house, is currently renting an apartment from 2 lobbyists, for $1000/month less than other apartments in the neighborhood rent for. But then, when he was elected, there were more votes cast than republicans in the house. So I guess lieing, taking bribes and vote tampering are just in their blood.

Boehner's monthly rent appears to be similar to other rentals of two-bedroom English basement apartments close to the House side of the Capitol in Southeast, based on a review of apartment listings
