Peter King: "I didn't think the Leopards would eat MY face!"

[Coventina]

On MSNBC a few minutes ago.

He's shocked, SHOCKED! That McConnell would suggest that states declare bankruptcy.

1. I'm actually surprised the majority of voters in his district are stupid enough to keep electing him

He's an outstanding piece of shit.

[TreasonousBastard]

4. Peter King? You're thinking of that other King-- Steve King, from Iowa, who is not just...

a piece of shit, dumber than dogshit, too.

[jberryhill]

12. That one is a Nazi. I meant Peter

Where are these people? Long Island? How can nought people be that stupid there?

I can understand that loathsome whackadoodle lady who represents the largely uninhabited Adirondack region, but the parts of Long Island I’ve seen struck me as relatively civilized.

[TreasonousBastard]

13. Most of it is, and King is secure in his district because he represents his people well...

I don't have lists, but I keep hearing that he brings home the bacon in things like retirement communities, small business improvement districts, school funding and other such goodies.

Most of a congressman's work does not make the news.

2. McConnell is a cancer...

... He's been so for many years, and I think history will portray him poorly.

I have a question, though... What is his motivation? What is his payout? I've never been able to calculate this in my mind.

I don't believe people are evil for evil's sake... So what is it?

5. Money and Power. n/t

[targetpractice]

6. What money though?

For him personally? His family?

[targetpractice]

8. Okay, just Googled it...

He has a $22 million net worth somehow.

[LakeArenal]

9. Because he can do it.

They are gutting the treasury before they all get thrown out in Nov.

10. POWER for himself, MONEY for his district and state

Kentucky receives $9,145 MORE per resident from the federal government than they pay in federal taxes.

Illinois receives $364 LESS per resident from the federal government than they pay in federal taxes.

New York receives $1792 LESS per resident from the federal government than they pay in federal taxes.

USA Today: How much money does your state receive from the federal government? Check out this list.

As long as he can keep skewing the dollars to the red states he remains in power.

7. Money and power

[TreasonousBastard]

3. He's not my rep, he's two districts away, but he's always been the kind of republican who...

you can talk to and deal with.

I was listening to him today, and don't remember him ever being so pissed. Let's see if there are any Senate republicans who can pick up the hammer.

[superpatriotman]

11. I can answer that:

NO.
