7. That can't be right. President Obama doesn't like the middle class.
Several posters with their constant complaints about everything he does told me so. They are never wrong.

8. Michele Bachman's district needs to give their $13.8 million back
They vote for her because they don't like spending and paying taxes, and don't want to pay for public education. And she voted against it.

It's a waste of money anyway because there are not enough dollars in the world to hire enough teachers to knock that dumb that mass of morons.

12. Recommended. I like the notice on Mark Kirk voting
against the jobs bill he initially praised.

So far Kirk is running one of the worst political campaigns in U.S. history. I think he can keep up the pace through the fall.

This is a lot of dough and it is much-needed.
