For those of you who dont know who Abramoff is....


Former Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff used to be the toast of Washington. Now he has plead guilty to fraud, public corruption and tax evasion in connection with dealings related to his American Indian clients, of whom he and former associate Michael Scanlon are accused of defrauding millions in fees. Scanlon was charged in November by the Justice Department with conspiracy to corrupt a U.S. lawmaker and is now cooperating with federal investigators. Abramoff, in exchange for his plea, could face up to ten years in prison while also setting the stage for investigators to use him as a witness against his former colleagues and political allies.

Sounds like Patty and Maria vote their purse strings, rather than their conscience.

A libtard never saw a "free lunch" he wouldn't accept. The difference is that a conservative KNOWS how to work and make money...a libtard wants a free ride for nothing. Osama Mama Murray and CUNTwell are like the old Clin-toon Whitehouse...for sale to the highest bidder.

I heard that various Senators and Congressmen are tripping over themselves to give the money back but Patty is refusing to.

Public hangings need to be brought back for traitors, you sell a vote you die !

For a private individual the punishment should fit the crime, and also for betrayel of the public trust by elected officials, they sell a vote they die a humiliating death publically.

Freedoms won with noble blood should be held sacred and anyone selling away those freedoms should pay the price with which they were bought.


“In the beginning of the contest with Britain, when we were sensible of danger, we had daily prayers in this room for Divine protection. Our prayers, Sir, were heard, and they were graciously answered… do we imagine we no longer need His assistance?” [Constitutional Convention, Thursday June 28, 1787]

Cantwell is on record as stating that she will always vote her conscience even if its at odds with the constituency's desires. So much for being a representative of the people.

Thats an interesting stmt but I wouldn't blame it on the reps so much. They have a long public record of being corrupt etc. Theyre donig what they've done for forever. The electorate is the problem.

"Senator Cantwells office......"

"Please tell me my Senator didnt take any of that dirty Abramoff money"

"No, Senator Cantwell did not take any money from Mr. Abramoff"

"And what about the Indian trives he was representing"

"Senator Cantwell did not take any money from Mr. Abramoff"

"We arent splitting hairs are we?"

"No, Senator Cantwell did not take any money from Mr. Abramoff"




"Senator Murrys office"

"Is my Senator going to give the dirty money back to those tribes"?

"We havent issued a statement on that yet"

"So is there a statement forthcoming"

"We havent issued a statement on that yet"





And we are playing these clowns to represent us.

Boy are we taking it up the ass.
