Soldiers are Dying so the Republicans Go Fishing

[The Bastard1]

Oh. My. God.

The world is going to hell in a hand basket, thousands of US soldiers are dead, thousands of American civilians are dead because of Bush’s incompetency and the federal defecit is spinning out of control. So what do these Republican Senators decide to do? They decide that it’s the perfect time to go fishing with lobbyists and executives from major U.S. industries. Shouldn’t they be legislating or something? Shouldn’t they be figuring out how to get us out of Iraq? Shouldn’t they be worried about their constituents instead how they are going to line their own pockets?

Sometimes, staying the course is stupid. This November change the direction.

1. Keep the fish. Throw them back in.

On second thought, throw the fish back in too, but move to nonpolluted waters.

2. Haha!

Yeah, you can play with this one. They went fishing for lobbyists to reel in some more cash.

3. Wow! $800,000 raised!

Where is that money going to? My guess would be for a non-profit that protects the fishing for corporate executives and lobbyists.

Where is the money coming from? From stockholders and tax breaks that were bought with the piddling cost of a fishing junket.

4. You ain't shitting me

$800,000 could solve a lot of problems instead I'm afraid it will be used to make a few people richer.

5. Then they come home and try to feed us "free market" mysticism.

There is no such thing as a free market when "the market" depends so completely on what these lobbyists can bribe the Congress into doing for them.

6. Hey those fish are there to spawn. What about respect for the unborn?

Huh? Why don't these Republicans respect LAIGHF ???

7. What's the problem?

Where would you prefer Repuke senators to be, fishing or in Washington making things worse? If they weren't on vacation, I'd be complaining about the legislation their trying to push through.

8. Ugh!!!

I'm afraid you might be right. Can we send them all fishing with Tony Soprano? I'll chip in on that.

9. Why are they still in power?

Vote these A-holes out of office!

11. At some point in the

(hopefully) near future, we need to do alot more than just hate bushco....

people are dying, the little man has a very limited future and we need to cut the crap and figure out where we are going to go from this place in time.....

even in this forum (and you can stick the newbie crap in your ear), there is a big pool of cyber-blood on the floor

WHO are we going to stand-up and follow?

and where in the hell is Sam Nunn when we really need him?????????

10. The ultimate irony here: If it weren't for liberal policies

there would be no fish.
