It’s like a circus act or magic trick. He sleeps with the lobbyist, but everybody else gets screwed.

Thanks, Jane, for your continuing coverage of who are representatives really represent and what it means for the rest of us. The selection process for which Blue Dogs to oppose in 2010 must already be well under way. All this is essential information to have in that process.

I would have to include Sen. Russ Feingold as a good guy. I’m from NJ and my Senators are usually pretty good, but not always. Frelinghuysen and Garrett are pretty bad.

Yes, we have a lot of bears in NJ. The elementary kids in my son’s school have a drill to get inside the school when the bears come around.

Good catch on this one, Jane. Anyone given any thought to mentioning this during Dorgan’s re-election?

The penalty is going to be applied when? Or are we going to use this fact in an ad?

It’s behavior like this that gives the Republicans hope. When the public gets tired of it, the will be open to the siren song of “If they continue to take your money and deliver nothing, just cut taxes and get rid of government.”

Unless this attitude of entitlement and privilege among Democratic Congresscritters is fixed soon, a Democratic majority will be very short-lived.

Doesn’t the Democratic leadership know this? Oh, I forgot who the Democratic leadership actually is.

SCUMBAGS.

Only two real Statesmen in Congress…Senator Richard Durbin and Rep. Dennis Kucinich.
I wouldn’t give a plugged nickel for the rest of the sell outs, including Obama.

When will Obama stop the bloody war in Iraq? Afghanistan?
Why did he appoint the sleazy Goldman Sachs shill, Geithner?
Because Obama is a tool of the Bankers the way Bush was a tool of the Industrial Military Complex.
I have had enough.
We live in the United States of Goldman Sachs.
American’s sit on their hands at their own peril.

I’m forwarding this to Ed Schulz. He’s a part-time North Dakotan and has had Dorgan on his radio show many times.

This may be the kind of thing that really catches Ed’s attention.
