How proud the voters are of their elected officials must be, as the country suffers from debt crisis, high unemployment, massive medical insurance disaster these two nitwits are more concerned with the name of a football team.

Replace them with a couple of 1st grade children who have more sense or perhaps Bevis and Butthead.

Beavis and Butthead would be a huge improvement over the slugs we’ve got up there now.

Ya want to see an NFL team sky-rocket to the top? Call them the Fighten Whitey’s and open up the current contracts to anyone that wants to leave the team with a partial bye-bye payment. I GUARANTEE the team will draw the best players, the most ridicule and above all, the most dreaded of all, MONEY.

Cantwell and Murray—two of the most brainless wonders on the face of the planet—no, sorry, they rank behind Barbara “the brick” Boxer from California. They desrve to have their day, but remember, it is not a crime to be so stupid and serve in a house of government where there is no recourse. Should stupidity be a federal offense while serving in Congress? Who will judge—the NSA? We are doomed? It took a while, but Dewey's dream has finally come true.

Only a racist bastard would be offended by a football team celebrating native American indian heritage with their name.

We know Cantwell-- no surprise there. What's with Tom Cole the so-called republican? He's lining right up behind the a-hole fringe.

We get this drivel in Cleveland every Spring, when the Indians come back to town from Spring training. There is generally a "protest demonstration" on home opening day--about 8 members of the UCC strutting about in front of the stadium. I think there is one (1) local Indian who spurs them on.

Funny, they train outside Phoenix Arizona, in real Indian country, but no one out there seems offended by their presence. Meddlesome liberal nitwits all.

Good thought, and while we are at it we can replace bonehead and slimy cantor with a couple of 1st grade little girls with more ba**s and leadership abilities than these two.

Several years ago they had a contest to name the woman’s basketball franchise in Indian a. Hoosier mamas was way ahead. Then some ______ started protesting and got it removed or something from the ballot
Heck I voted twice for it!

Libs are using this “wrong side of history” crap to intimidate folks on a lot of things lately. Next time they say that tell them “Communism is also on the wrong side of history but it doesn’t stop Obama or his party from trying to re-enact it here.”

What's with Tom Cole the so-called republican?

He's an Injun first and a Republican only when convenient. Oklahomans need to toss that near-commie out. His Grinnell College (a marxist indoctrination "school") background explains a lot about this creep.

Come to think of it it was Dinah Reah. Got arrested in Louisville. Can’t remember why but it was outside a club with a reputation. Remember it cause the news folks were trying not to laugh but were breaking up to the point of tears flowing

Only better one was the young gal asking the grand prize winner at the state fair if they were going to put the winning steer out for stud. Camera shook and you could hear him laughing

“no, sorry, they rank behind Barbara “the brick” Boxer from California.”

Please, don’t leave out our “Other Yenta,” Dianne Emiel Goldman Berman Finestein. She’s on husband #3, Richard Blum and together they are in the process of using her government connections to become billionaires before she retires (or dies). Smarter than Boxer by far, but just as crooked and devious. I guess it’s because she has an Italian mother.
