RNC tries to circumvent Tea Party actions

.
I've thought for a long time that the Republican Party left me, to paraphrase Reagan's line about how he became one. There are several state events that prove that the RNC is NOT out there for the conservative voters, or for American values and ideals.

The FL Senatorial race with Charlie Crist NOT stepping aside and the RNC NOT getting involved, and the DE race with Christine O'Donnell where they said they would NOT support her (initially).

Now, the House Republicans have come out with 'their' plan for the next session. On one hand it sounds exactly like what the Tea Party is pushing for, on the other hand it's such an about face that I...don't...trust...them! I think they're just trying to hold on to the reins.

Vote every ass outta every seat, regardless of affiliation. That would remind them who is really in charge.

Just saw this story on FOX. Michelle Malkin is FOR this idea. I don't trust them. If they were led Centrist by GWB, they can be led back by Romney (or whomever) post 2012 elections.

Lets write some history

Hey all,

Yesterday I got an email from my thesis director. He wants to know what the topic for my final thesis will be. He made the caveat that I should send it in soon so he can kick it back a few times so that I can refine it. So here is what I have.....

Being the eternal student I am half way through another Masters Degree. This one in Military History. If things improve and my kids actually get out on their own, I may even pursue a PhD in Early American history (Mayflower to pre-civil war).

Anyway, my final thesis is in June. By mid October I need to come up with a "Why" question about military history. The problem I run into is I can't really narrow it down...or find a starting point actually. So I am asking you my friends to be my muse and make a few possible suggestions. This will allow me to use the hat rack on my shoulders to narrow it down to something feasible.

I am thinking something in the time frame of the American Revolution. But the topic is open for anything at anytime between 500 b.c. and the first Gulf War. The only restrictions are: it is not a political science class, so no policy questions. Nothing about Patton vs. Rommel or Grant vs. Lee.

My papers so far have been:

1. Historiography of the Mormon Battalion March West and the opening of the American Southwest.
2. The conflicts between Europe and Islam between the Crusades and Vienna in 1683
3. Guerrilla Warfare from the American Revolution thru Vietnam
4. Comparisons of modern North Korean military posturing in relation to teachings of the ancient masters, Sun Tzu, T'ai Kung, et al.

I'm open to any suggestions of any military topic (not just American) that any of you would care to see a 50 page historiographic essay written on and then possibly published in a historical journal. Feel free to make multiple suggestions if you wish. My brain hurts too much right now to even contemplate it.

You Are A Good Person

Yes, you really are! Do you know why? Well, one reason is that you are going to supply brand new cooking stoves to millions of people in 3rd and 4th world countries. What's that you say? You need a new stove too but can't afford one right now because your job was sent to one of those countries? Well, nobody in your govt. really cares what you need, or want. Hey, maybe you could ask the governments of India or South Africa to buy you a stove.

It seems that Hitlary (i'd give my arms, legs, and any other part you might want to be president) Clinton wants to take $50 Million of "your" money and buy stoves for, you guessed it, the women and children. You see, they found some "scientists" who claim that millions, if not Billions of people, are being killed every minute because they cook over an open fire, and that the world would most likely cease to exist if we don't give them new stoves. Funny, i went through a picnic area the other day and didn't see one body. Then again, i'm not a "scientist". Note that there's no mention of how these stoves would be powered. Would they use wood, dung, or coal as they do now, and if so, where's the improvement? Or would "some other" fuel source be needed? If it's the latter, that $50 Mil could easily turn into $50 Billion as it always does.

So remember the next time you're out in the yard throwing a steak on the grill. YOU AND YOUR STEAK ARE KILLING POOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN, not to mention adding to global warming. Oops, what is it called this week? You can now bask in the warmth of knowing that you're a good person, and that the world is applauding you. Or is that laughter i hear...

UN: Rich must not cut aid to poor to balance budget.
(huh?)
.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon pressed debt-ridden donor countries on Monday not to cut aid to the poor despite their budgetary woes.

"We should not balance budgets on the backs of the poor," Ban told 140 leaders at the start of a three-day summit to review progress in meeting U.N. poverty goals by 2015.

During their speeches, leaders pledged to step up efforts to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) -- agreed 10 years ago. But, as expected, they offered little in the way of new resources to help the world's poorest countries.

The United Nations agrees the world will meet the goals to halve global poverty and hunger by 2015 but is behind on other goals which cover improving child education, child mortality and maternal health; combating diseases including AIDS, and promoting gender equality and environmental sustainability.
.
(U.N. guaranteed happiness, HUH?)
.
Amid the high-minded talk about poverty and budgets, Bhutan's Prime Minister Jigme Thinley proposed the addition of happiness as the ninth MDG goal.

"Since happiness is the ultimate desire of every citizen it must be the purpose of development to create enabling conditions for happiness," he said.

Donors demanded more work to ensure aid is not wasted on programs that do not help the poor. Anti-poverty campaigners said donors should be held accountable for the aid they have promised and failed to deliver.

Awww...who gives a flying turd!?

The entire world is going to hell in a hand basket, our country is changing, for the worst, and every country in the world wants us to pay them to like us. So then why do I care about GAYS in the military?
.
Don't Ask, Don't Tell is back in the news. And here's a hint, most of the troops not only KNOW who IS and is NOT gay, and they don 't care!!
.
This is not a new problem, and it's not going to go away by shining light on it. I have / had an uncle whom left my aunt for a gay lifestyle in Than Franthithco, There were gay guys, and gay girls at every duty station I ever hit. One of the "guys" my son the Marine Combat Engineer was with in Iraq, was gay. My older son is career Navy. He has talked extensively about the "gay community" inside the Navy.
.
Most people want to work with someone who does their job. I'd rather work with, or hire, a gay person who does their job, than a straight idiot who won't work. What good is a straight person, as an employee or military member, if their only attribute is BEING straight?
.
IMHO, they are bringing this up is a diversion. From what I don't know. Or it's an attempt to show how rigid and unloving the Right is "really".
.
Personally, my take on this always was always, "...so long as I don't have to see gay sex at Morning Quarters, on the flight deck, in the shower, or in the chow line, I....don't....care".

Commence Firing!

With only about two months to go before the highly anticipated mid-terms, the fear, panic, and desperation is starting to show big-time among Demoncrats, the MSM, and the rest of the Left. This time, their main target is not Sarah Palin, or Rush Limbaugh, or even their favorite, GWB. This time they've got all their big guns aimed at Christine O'Donnell, who just shocked the whole political world and won the GOP primary in "very liberal" Delaware for the senate seat. How did this relative unknown do it? She did it with the backing from the Tea Party, meaning, the people. And if there's anything that truly scares the Left, the Demoncrats, and the MSM, it's having the people awake and angry.

While watching the news this morning, especially the Leftist stations, (CNN, MSNBC ) it was very clear that they all had received their talking points for the day. DEMONIZE CHRISTINE O'DONNELL! Apparently, they see her as the spear-point of the Tea Party, and as such, she becomes their primary target. Why do they fear her so much? After having heard her speak on a couple of occasions, some of the reasons they fear her are clear. She's smart, smart enough to have turned down several TV "news interviews" (CBS, NBC, ABC,) that would turn out to be nothing more than an ambush, a trap Palin walked right into. She's down-to-earth. And, she clearly connects with the people by speaking plain English. These are qualities the Demoncrats don't want to deal with, especially when they're fighting for their political lives. So they'll do what they always do when they're in trouble. Lie and demonize. It's all they've got left. I just hope the people are smart enough to see through it this time...

Guard The Change?

I wonder what the Marxist-in-Chief meant by that remark made to members of the Congressional Black Crooks. Was he telling them to protect all the goodies ($$) he's been funneling into the black community? Was this a message to black America saying that now that we have the keys to America's cash register, we ain't given 'em back? He knows that generally speaking, and for many blacks, anytime the govt. gives them something in an effort to help, that help instantly becomes a "right", one that they'll demand continue and in fact, increase. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of endless, limitless govt. programs, (welfare, food stamps, day-care, etc.) now in effect that prove this point. Is this what he meant when he said he "would unite the country", or was that simply another one of the lies he told during his campaign? In fact, i can't remember another president who worked so hard at dividing the country and deliberately creating racial animosity simply for political gain. One would almost think that he's not aware of the fact that blacks make up only about 12-14% of the population. Is he thinking that will be enough to get him re-elected, even with the MSM creating the illusion that the 12-14% is more like 60-70%? Was/is his goal to be the leader of America, or the leader of black America? To many millions, the answer is becoming more obvious each day.

When you listen to this phony and his worshipers on the Left and in the MSM, (and their numbers are dwindling) you get the impression he's been able to solve all of the worlds problems, while walking on water. In fact, he's actually done almost nothing, unless you count destroying America by taking the wealth from those who earn it, and giving it to those who simply want it as an achievement. In that case he's done a whole lot. Oh, i almost forgot. He's also managed to take a whole bunch of "very expensive" vacations, all paid for by the sheeple...

The DC Magic Show

For the Demoncrats, the main trick of this show will be, how do we shove our Leftist, anti-American agenda down the throats of the people without them knowing what's going on? Well, it seems they'll do what they always do, that is, hide their pet projects inside other legislation that the country needs, such as military budgets. And what will we get this time? Millions of illegals "magically" turned into "students" who, after they get an education on your dime, will become US citizens! Obviously, the idea behind this end-run around the Constitution is that all these illegals will become future votes for the Demoncrats. More votes = more power = life-time control of the country and the sheeple who make up it's population.

Sensing a possible upheaval in Nov, Demoncrats are pushing their projects harder than ever before. They realize it's now or never. They don't know if they'll ever have this much power again, so they're going for broke. That they are destroying this once-great nation for the sake of political power apparently means nothing to them, especially since it was their plan all along to take the country apart and rebuild it into the imaginary Leftist utopia they always dream of. And even more frightening is the fact that even experts aren't sure about how much of this destructive legislation can be stopped or reversed assuming the power in DC changes hands in Nov. and in 2012.

One of the lessons history has (or should have) taught us is that, there is no limit to the amount of destruction people are willing to do simply to gain and maintain the power to control the lives of others. We are seeing another one of those lessons in the making...

This is “proof positive that gun prohibitionists have been consistently and undeniably wrong,” the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said in a statement.

Bill Clinton gets it too

.
WAY back in 1980, conservatism's greatest hero won the Presidency. He did what few could. He took a Democrat controlled Congress and convinced them to pass bills that lowered taxes, jump started the economy and put America back to the front of the world's economy, post the Jimmy Carter stupidity.
.
The present knuckle head in the WH, of course, makes Carter look like a business genius. He will, with his evil minions in tow, continue to rape our wallets. He needs to be stopped. In short, we need another Ronald Reagan!! Or at least, conservatives of substance in Congress to hold him in check. And Bill Clinton might be the first Liberal to admit to seeing the handwriting on the wall.
.
Clinton, speaking at a Democratic fundraiser in Minneapolis, said there was no mistaking that Republicans have tacked hard right and questioned whether former President George W. Bush would fit in among the party’s candidates this year.

“A lot of their candidates today, they make him look like a liberal,” Clinton told an enthusiastic crowd at a downtown hotel as he campaigned for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mark Dayton.

Clinton pointed to the tea party movement’s influence on the GOP.
.
Der Schlickmeister also recognizes that GWB was NO conservative at heart. Imagine that! Let's hope this year starts a new trend. Candidates who believe what we believe, that we can vote FOR, instead of voting AGAINST whose politics we don't believe.

Do You Remember Being Free?

For the last couple of years, the American people, or those Americans who've been paying attention, have noticed things disappearing. Things like jobs, personal wealth, their homes, their privacy, their right to personal choice, etc. When you add all these things together, what is really disappearing is, freedom and liberty. We are going from citizens of a free country, to subjects of an all-powerful, all-consuming, out-of-control government. Every single piece of legislation passed or proposed by this govt. has the same goal. CONTROL!

The Marxist-in-Chief and his Obamunist followers in congress realize their 15 minutes are almost up. What this means is that they'll do anything and everything they can to push their favorite pet projects into law before the end comes. One of those projects is the little beauty in this article. It basically gives Butch Napolitano, the head of the Dept. of Homeland Stupidity, the power and ability to control the internet. That's right kids. If Butch doesn't like what she/he/it sees, (as in anything anti-Obama or anti-Left) she/he/it simply hits the switch and poof, the internet is off! Wouldn't you just love to have the power to silence whatever it is you dislike or disagree with? It's a Leftists dream come true...

Let's all practice tolerance...you go first...

OK, so the lib nuts in the country think we should show tolerance in allowing the Ground Zero Mosque to be built. We should show tolerance to illegal aliens who just want a better life. We are supposed to show tolerance to anyone who isn't a conservative or a Christian or a Caucasian. And God forbid that you are a conservative, Christian, conservative!! They are really put upon to be the most tolerant. Regardless of how I'm being treated today, I'm willing to be tolerant. In fact...

Let's all start to practice tolerance...you go first...

I'm serious as a f*%#ing heart attack. Get off Sarah Palin, quit saying Glenn Beck is a kook, stop talking about Limbaugh being a racist. How about if, starting tonight, some tolerance is shown TO those on the right? I propose that liberal thinkers be tolerant of those who DON'T think guys should kiss guys, who DON'T think chicks should kiss chicks, show tolerance to those who think babies should be born and adopted, not aborted.
.
Of course, I am not holding my breath. Here's today's example of why I'm not expecting any tolerance to come my way. And remember, thus far the American left has sided with the Islamofascists on this one.
.
.Iran Ayatollahs Issue Fatwas Against Koran-Burners
.
Two Iranian grand ayatollahs issued fatwas calling for the killing of those who insult the Koran, including anyone who burns the Islamic holy book, the state-run Fars news agency reported.

No one was specified in the decrees, which were issued by Nasser Makarem-Shirazi and Hossein Nouri-Hamedani in response to questions asked by student groups from universities in Tehran, Fars said. Such an action against any individual could only be carried out with the authorization of an Islamic religious judge, they said.

“Undoubtedly, the blood of a person who burns the Koran should be shed,” Makarem-Shirazi was cited by Fars as saying. Everybody should “strongly condemn” such an act.
.
Anybody who thinks you can negotiate or talk reasonably with someone who is willing to KILL over a book being burned is either stupid, or they live at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!

So, if you had heard that the full weight of the Federal Bureau of Investigation had been used to officially ban someone from "ever" entering the U.S., who would you guess it would be?

a) Obama Bin Laden?
b) The leader of the biggest drug cartel in South America?
c) One of Al Qaeda's top leaders?
d) The most wanted terrorist on the planet? (American born)
e) Illegals who have crossed our border dozens of times?
f) A drunken 17 year old British kid who called Obummer a prick via an email?

No particular topic, except survival

UPDATE:

I wrote this last night, and although I realized that today was the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, I didn't make a connection between future survival and terrorism. Who knows what form the next attack will take. And our current form of government seems incapable of keeping us safe. Sometimes they same unwilling too.

God help us, but that puts it in OUR hands.

ORIGINAL POST: Not sure if anyone noticed, but we got downgraded to the 4th place in world business competitiveness by the World Economic Forum. Obama has dropped us there from being first, just two years ago. Where will we be two years from now?

Obama IS, as Reaqan WAS.

.
Or at least that's the take from this article from CNN/Money.
.
Taxes: What people forget about Reagan
.
Those who oppose higher taxes and are fed up with record levels of U.S. debt may pine for Ronald Reagan, the patron saint of lower taxes and smaller government.

But it's worth considering just what Reagan did -- and didn't do -- as lawmakers grapple with many of the same issues that their 1980s counterparts faced: a deep recession, high deficits and a rip-roaring political divide over taxes.
.
Soon after taking office in 1981, Reagan signed into law one of the largest tax cuts in the postwar period.

That legislation -- phased in over three years -- pushed through a 23% across-the-board cut of individual income tax rates. It also called for tax brackets, the standard deduction and personal exemptions to be adjusted for inflation starting in 1984. That would reduce "bracket creep" since the high inflation of the 1970s and early 1980s meant incomes rose very fast, pushing taxpayers into ever higher brackets even though the real value of their income hadn't changed.
.
I just LOVE that last line! Having a paycheck under Reagan as opposed to not having a paycheck under Carter was no different because of broadened tax bases. Aw, bull loney! Here's why it had to be better, many of us were WITHOUT any job, or had a shitty bad paying job under Carter. The economy was in a shambles, and it all got better under Reagan even according to this article. I'm just not sure who it was, except elected Democrats, who DIDN'T do better, make more money, etc under Reagan.
.
The article goes on to say.
.
After Reagan's first year in office, the annual deficit was 2.6% of gross domestic product. But it hit a high of 6% in 1983, stayed in the 5% range for the next three years, and fell to 3.1% by 1988. (By comparison, this year it's projected to be 9% but is expected to drop considerably thereafter.)
.
And just how brain dead do you have to be to believe that? Is it going to "drop thereafter" just like un-employment has? I'm guessing the writer thinks if 5% was good, 9% is better when talking about federal deficits?! And beyond that, where did they find someone still this enamored of Ospenda the Great, to write this crap?
.
At the heart of it, what this article leaves out is the whole, re-build a 600 ship Navy, re-build the two marching troop services, re-build the Air Force, and DEFEAT THE SOVIET UNION part of Reagan's spending spree!! And the bottom line is, regardless of the SPENDING, business was UP, people were WORKING, and the deficit was DOWN! And best of all, Carter was gone. I'll be glad when I can say that about the present Goon in Chief too.
.
The article also fails to get into the Republican President / Democrat Congress issue too. Regardless of who, when, how much, I wouldn't care if they were currently spending money like drunk sailors, if they weren't borrowing to do it, and if the spending was for defending the country or closing the borders. But they've spent tons and I'll be damned if I can see where it went.
.
I miss the 80's.

Time to leave this idiot state!!

.
As most of you know, I'm a miserable, old, crippled pain in the ass, with multiple pains in my ass. My list of maladies is fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis and transverse myelitis. All lean toward being painful. The combination is a bitch.
.
I'm currently taking both methadone and oxycodone, along with neurontin and mobic. The oxy is new, but is taking the edge off. But I do not like taking this crap, I don't take it for the buzz, and I don't share!!
.
I used to go to my primary care physician for monthly refills on pain meds. In 2008, the NC Medical Board decided that due to pain med abuse among the population, and pain med scams, anyone with (supposed) situations like mine needed to see a Pain Management Specialist. I'm working my way out of my third such practice in 20 months.
.
My current place is a low cost, low quality pill mill. The medical professionals are less than interested in my health. I've heard people in there talking about driving in from hundreds of miles away. They are always pushing cutting edge, high dollar treatments and stuff I'm unwilling to try. (spinal injections primarily) But if you just ask, they'll jack your meds WAY up over a few visits.
.
Because we are known as state with lax rules, we get people driving in from neighboring states. Well the NC Sheriff's Association has an answer to the problem. They want access to MY medical records. As if I was scamming for scrip style drugs, I'd use my real name at a doctors office!!
.
Read the Comments Section, and needless to say, most folks are against it. And BTW, without Obamacare and the federal databases of records, would this even be a possibility? And does this mean it was all about power?

I'm shocked!

Tolerance

On CNN, and especially on MSNBC this morning, (i always learn more from watching the enemy) the hot button topic today is this pastor in FL. who has decided to burn a copy of the Quran. Ironically, but not at all surprising, is the fact that these same elitist Leftists, the ones who are always preaching tolerance to and demanding tolerance from those of us on the Right, the same ones who have an abundance of tolerance for the Mooselambs who want to build a mosque, (see: Islamic military shrine) at Ground Zero, now have absolutely no tolerance for the "Constitutionally protected rights" of this pastor. Of course, these same Leftist cretins would be applauding (and eager to defend) the pastor had he decided to burn the Bible, or the Constitution, or the American flag.

So hot is this issue right now, that the Marxist-in-Chief himself had to make a comment, one condemning the pastor of course. Mooselambs always stick together. Even fat and haggard-looking Hitlary came out against the pastor. But the one that surprised me was Gen. Petrais (sp.) when he said that this burning would help Al-Qaeda recruit more terrorists. It was the exact excuse used by comrade Odumbo, Hitlary, and the Leftist maggots of the MSM. Are these people so brain-dead, so detached from reality, that they actually believe Al-Q needs an excuse to recruit? Do they still not get it that our very existence is a recruiting tool for Al-Q?

CNN interviewed some Mooselamb woman in Chicago who said she was upset by the actions of this pastor because it interfered with her teaching her daughter about tolerance. CNN's talking head was of course sympathetic. I would have told her that if you truly want to teach your child about tolerance, take her on a tour of Ground Zero, and the USS Cole, and Kobar Towers, the railway stations in the UK and Spain, and all the US embassies that radical Mooselambs had blown up. Show her the bodies of thousands of innocent civilians butchered by radical Mooselambs in the name of Islam. Then inform her that the main reason she's in Chicago, USA, on TV, and not hanging from a lamp post, the reason the middle east is not covered with millions of burning Mooselamb bodies, is because of America's tolerance, albeit highly misguided...

Imagine if you will, laying in the bottom of a 3-400 foot volcano crater with your thigh bent at a 30 degree angle. The last thing you remember is watching your front wheel stop in the cinders and the handlebars flying underneath you at about 40 MPH. After about an hour you see a helicopter circling above you. They seem indecisive, are they wondering if they can get back out? And where are the S&R guys at anyway?

The helicopter circles down and lands. 2 guys jump out, I wonder if they are medics. Turns out one used to be an army nurse, the other was an army paramedic. The helicopter shuts down and a third guy gets out of the front seat, he used to be an army pilot.

They come over and talk gently, but it sure doesn't feel like they are being gentle. After they get an IV started they shoot a couple of drugs into it. Suddenly all seems right in the world, except when they move that dad-gum leg. After about 1/2 hour of work they move you to a helicopter and tell you that it is about 10 minutes to the hospital.

The trick with this one was that we were at 8400 feet at 84 degrees. This single engine wind maker doesn't have near the power that one of Snorpht's Apaches does, but with a little finesse and a very tight sphincter we made it out. We just had to stay close to the ground to increase our power margin.

They always warn us to fly as if the chief pilot is watching, I guess this proves it. The video isn't that exciting, actually kind of boring, but it's cool that somebody taped it and posted it.

I've been published twice and now I'm on youtube, does this make me famous?

The Bizarro World

Does the City Council in your town start it's official meetings with a prayer? Here in NYC, our council refuses to start with a prayer claiming it violates the imaginary "separation of church and state" clause of the Constitution. Actually, it's more due to the fact that the commies here are mostly anti-Christian.

What about a city council that starts it's official meetings with a Mooselamb prayer? Personally, i don't see a problem with that, assuming you're in Iraq or Afghanistan. But what if that council is in the city of Hartford, Connecticut? Yes, our Hartford, CT. Sound kinda nuts? Welcome to 2010 Amerika, a.k.a. The Nation of Fools...

The skunk has replaced the Eagle as the new symbol of America .
It is half black, half white, and everything it does stinks.

I blame Al Gore!!

.
Mainly I blame the Tennessee Stud because this loon was spurred to action by "An Inconvenient Truth", and took over the "Discovery Channel" Offices, holding a bunch of hostages. But I'm guessing that Al Gore thinks if we'd all just do as he asked, drive 'lectric cars, go solar, eat tofu, nut boy at the "Discovery Channel", would have been satisfied, and would not taken hostages, nor written a Manifesto.
.
And all nuts have a Manifesto, it's part of the M.O.
.
And this genius thinks Bob Barker can help. He wants instructional, environmental, GAME Shows!!
.
1.The Discovery Channel and it's affiliate channels MUST have daily television programs at prime time slots based on Daniel Quinn's "My Ishmael" pages 207-212 where solutions to save the planet would be done in the same way as the Industrial Revolution was done, by people building on each other's inventive ideas. Focus must be given on how people can live WITHOUT giving birth to more filthy human children since those new additions continue pollution and are pollution. A game show format contest would be in order. Perhaps also
forums of leading scientists who understand and agree with the Malthus-Darwin science and the problem of human overpopulation. Do both. Do all until something WORKS and the natural world starts improving and human civilization building STOPS and is reversed! MAKE IT INTERESTING SO PEOPLE WATCH AND APPLY SOLUTIONS!!!!
.
He's a nut!

Lying cocksockers of the World UNITE!!

OK, since I started paying attention, the DEMOCRATS have been shooting their mouths off about RICH, Conservatives and RICH Republicans. Historically this crap actually pre-dates the Civil War.

Well, The Hill, has a new article out, and guess what? Of the 50 richest s(h)itting Congress Critters, 3 of the top 5 richest ones are Democrats, 7 of the top 10, and fully 27 of that total 50 richest Senators or members of the House of Representatives are DEMOCRATS.
.
How can that be? Is it all just a damnable lie?

I'm shocked!

And I thought they had our betterment in mind!
