You just figured that out now, subby?

Politicians are good at getting elected. They pretty much suck at everything else.

I'd rather have leaders that spend 1 Trillion dollars and 4000 American lives on an unnecessary war, thank you very much.

Who'd have thought that a representative might go around trying to get people to vote for a bill that they support? It's positively unimaginable!

Consider how much Obama's choices are going to cause a financial burden on people. 4000 people dying in a war isn't as many children that won't be had because their would have been parents couldn't afford to have them now... at least their would have had been children would have free health care thanks to those that pay taxes for it.

The Rhode Island Congressman has fought battles with drugs and alcohol for years. In 2006, he slammed his car into a barrier near the Capitol.


Ahhh... that wonderful Kennedy legacy.

Did you SERIOUSLY just equate war dead with people deciding to not have children?

Stupid at worst, intellectually dishonest at best.

I'm trying to think of something to say about this, but I'm too flabbergasted..

1 trillion is like 13 cents to Obama.

My last name is Kennedy, and I have an Uncle who married into the family named Sullivan.

We tend to drink a lot at family gatherings.

It varies; many elections are quite close in this country. The ones that suck at getting elected are the ones who get crush by their opponents in a landslide.

Sadly, once you're the incumbent, getting re-elected in this country is a foregone conclusion.

This town loves a drunk.
Do cocaine, crack, liquor, and hookers - but avoid the weed.

Cause having anonymous gay sex in airport restrooms and paying a hooker to put you in diapers won't cost you your job, but a joint will kill you politically.

It's a funny world we live in.

Abortion is still murder so yes, I do.

Especially math. The CBO told 'em back in Feb. the Obama's health care plan was not going to save money but cost 1.6 trillion, and they just now caught up to that.

Sullivan is from Oklahoma, not Wisconsin, you prick.

Yeah, and he's a Republican too (I think everyone in Oklahoma is a Republican). It just goes to show you we need an abbreviation for drunk driving that starts with R.

You mean Faux News correctly identified Sullivan as a republican drunk?!

something is very wrong with this entire story

I'm sure the families of soldiers killed in the war would love to hear you equate their loss with people who may decide not to have kids due to financial concerns.

Fewer babies being born to poor people is a GOOD thing.

So not only is abortion murder, not having a kid is now equivalent to getting someone killed?

Lol.
