Massachusett now has an option to rid the state of Congressman Tierney. Rick Barton is running to replace Tierney. He is a Veteran and knows full well how Tierney is hurting Veterans, seniors and the middleclass. Instead of me giving you his information, I'd suggest you go to his website
www.rickbarton.us This state needs a leader like Rick Barton, not a foller like John Tierney.

We tax payers have questions. Does this guy know when the toaster popps up. Or does he know his goose is cooked.

We definitely have a lot in common.
I think we both agree that the majority of our elected officials need to go!
Have a great Friday!

And let's not forget about Neil Bush's involvement in the Silverado Savings and Loan scandal. He was on the board of the S&L in Colorado, just one of many S&L's, that cost taxpayers billions!!
It was a bipartisan scandal of the highest order.
But the 1988 federal investigation into Silverado, and Neil Bush's involvement in it, was put on hold until after Poppy Bush was elected.
Ultimately, Neil Bush was fined several million dollars, he was lucky to avoid jail time, but to date he has paid back less then 30 thousand dollars of the court fines against him.
Ah, to have friends and family, regardless of party affiliation, on your side.
So bilge rat, maybe we have more in common than you think.

Yes, my friend, Blackwater rings a bell....

As does Whitewater, the Arkansas land deal that started the questions about whether the Clintons improperly benefitted from funds from Jim McDougal's Madison Guarantee savings-and-loan, which went belly up, costing taxpayers an estimated $60 million.

A few other past presidential snafus also come to mind, such as young White House aides who were hired by the Clinton administration despite FBI background checks that found "recent" use of hard drugs like cocaine, crack and hallucinogens.

How about this one? Castle Grande, a real-estate scheme that federal regulators say was a sham. A federal inspector general's report found Hillary Clinton drew up the legal papers that were used to improperly funnel hundreds of thousands of dollars to Seth Ward, father-in-law of her ex-law partner Webster Hubbell.

And the list goes on...

To quote Tennis Lilly, let's just agree to disagree...

Come on Uncle Bunky, can't you do better than resorting to name calling?
And Bilge Rat, are you incapable of thinking for yourself?
There are very real reasons to question the wisdom behind dumping tens of millions of dollars of American aid into a country like Pakistan which, even before the chaos that's followed Bhutto's assassination, was riddled with corruption and questions as to just how much of the US aid was actually getting to its intended beneficiaries.
Add to that the corruption and incompetence of many of the companies the Bush administration has awarded billions in contracts to all over the world (does the name Blackwater ring any bells?) and I'm darned glad John Tierney, and even a few congressional Republicans, are asking such questions.
