And the crooks just keep on coming. And every last one of the have been endorsed by Barry Soetoro!

These flaming thugs should be sentenced and thrown into jail, yesterday.

And this bitch helped push through Obammy Care.

They are pure evil!

Ok, I'll look.
Pelosi should be made to pay for all her extravagant trips at our expense.

I believe Pelosi was spending over $25,000 a month in US taxpayers bucks just for booze for herself and her family and groupies on the exec jet she grabbed

She spent a horrific amount on liquor, food and flowers all the time. I’ve read all about it but can’t keep records handy on all that stuff.

Now she’s fainted in Italy and was in the hospital??

What would Harry Truman say? I hope Missourians are true to their “Show Me State” motto and vote this crook out.

They said Pelosi fainted, she probably fell over drunk. I wonder how was that socialist health care over there?

Good! Property taxes should be illegal.

Lol, I don’t know if she is a big drinker but it could be so. And - she would get the best of health care, not what you and I would, that’s for sure.

Chairman Zero must be about to lose a Cabinet member. Claire is just showing she’s qualified.

I disagree those are second-tier candidates (except for perhaps Wagner). I saw polling showing Steelman apparently leading for the nomination, but the big problem she faces is a visceral opposition from the MO GOP establishment. An ugly GOP primary is the only saving grace for McCaskill at this point.

If Sarah Steelman were to win the nomination, one hopes that the state GOP would have the good sense to rally around her.

Powder..patch..ball FIRE!

Ed Martin — He almost took out Russ Carnahan in the 3rd district... The STL vote manufacturing machine is the only reason he lost.

He is a solid conservative.

Lol, you may be right, and she forgot her ‘smelling salts’!
I see the Palin threads going strong ‘now’ and some returned from a hiatus.

If this bitch doesn’t go to jail, they should release Wesley Snipes from jail right now.
