The Turds on the Top of the Pork Barrel


I tried to tell them No Bail,

send the Wall Street Crooks

directly to jail

but they wouldn't listen,

they had 700 Billion Lies to tell.

Now I can't stand the smell

of 263 Turds

floating on top of

the Stinking Pork Barrel.

Two hundred and Sixty Three is the number
of Members in the House of Representatives
that voted Yes on the 700 Billion Dollar
Economic Bailout Bill....

I realize that you may be living in Paradise, but did you really expect anthing better out of Washington...what do you think the D.C. stands for anyway?

James,

Are you aware that there is approximately 535 idiots in complete control of a country of 300 million people.

One person started the financial malestrom in the US, and that's Mr. Alan Greenspan. Funny he hasn't been heard from recently after being all over the front pages a few months ago. O'wwwwww, I get so upset over all of this he started...

It's funny that all economic catastrophes occur during GOP "Greedy Old Party" administrations.

You might want to check your latest news update..   Democrats took over power 2 years ago in both houses.  Do you really think the president has that much power?   Come on, you are smarter than that.  He can veto, he can sign a bill in to law, he does not make law and he can be overridden.  He is a figure head, not a king, not a dictator.
Get real.

WTBAKELAR,

The administration of the nation is in the hands of the executive branch of government.

That's why they call it the "administration"--get the connection?

All that the legislative branch does is make the laws.

Well, that's one way of putting it.
By the way, I think there's enough blame to go around. If I had my way we'd throw them all out and start over.

Thank you Steavens, Bill, Toerag, Robert, WTBAKELAR, Robert and Marchmadness for the nice responses...
Marchmadness I like the idea of throwing all of them out, but I would only throw the 263 out in the House of Representatives that voted yes, not the 171 that voted no...the ones that voted no would be a great new beginning for a responsible Government...James
