Corruption may be worst in Congressional history.
O-boy some more bullshit coming out of Washington, lyres’ lyres’ lyres’. You lying gangster politicians can talk the talk but you cannot walk the walk. You gangster Democrats are just as bad as the gangster Republicans, so don’t think you are home free. You lying gangster politicians are trying to tell me you’re going to do something about the gangster lobbyists in Washington who have been lining your pockets in return for political favors for years? BULLSHIT.
We don’t need you Democrats or Republicans to clean up Washington.
We don’t need you Democrats or Republicans to clean up Washington.
We need to hire a Sheriff to clean up Washington and put you lying gangster politicians in jail where you belong.

An old Indian Chief sat in his hut on the reservation, smoking a ceremonial pipe and eyeing two US government officials sent to interview him. "Chief Two Eagles” asked one official, "You have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his material wealth, seen his progress, and the damage he's done. The Chief nodded that it was so. The official continued, "Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?" The Chief stared at the government officials for over a minute and then calmly replied, "When white man found the land, Indians were running it. No taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, women did all the work, medicine man free, Indian man spent all day hunting and fishing, all night having sex." Then the Chief leaned back and smiled, "White man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that!"
