Shame on you Idaho
Submitted by porkyisback on Sat, 01/05/2008 - 4:09am.
You sit back and let a man like Senator Larry Craig drag your State thru the mud. What an embarrassment.

I'm sorry but you don't seem to understand . You see , this is Idaho and O'l Wide Stance is a Republican .
The same people who wanted to castrate Bill Clinton will now claim that a persons sex life is nobody's damn business . We really do get the government we deserve and Idaho should be held up as an example , "This is what a family values candidate looks like" .
Go beyond the party and THINK !

You nailed that Reddog!
When the people quit listening to crooks who accept $ from corporate unAmerica to get elected, once elected accept $170K a year, health care, & retirement {which we lose more of everyday} from taxpayers only to give tax cuts to those unAmerican corporations, {taxes we absorb,} we might find some representation.
This demockery has become a mirror image of the WWF. Not as entertaining because the price is too high but a circus people spend a fortune to be a part of knowing damn well they're being taken in a scam, yet keep coming back for more.
I'm thinking we need to all get together & sign a petition to get Otter & our other not so illustrious misrepresentatives to put on a ballet, just for starters, instead of raising auto registration fees to pay for roads: including an interstate bypass to let traffic passing Boise go by while eliminating gridlock because that half of traffic caught up in rush hour would NOT stop & the other half wouldn't stop either because there would be half as much to contend with.
1.Tax campaign contributions given to politicians not yet working for US.
2.Take contributions given to our employees, any representatives, city, county, state, or federal.
3.Cut their pay, eliminate taxpayer provided health care & retirement. Like they have done to US for years & as all US coprortaions are doing to remain solvent!
4.Make city, county, state, & federal employees work weekends & take either Thursday/Friday or Monday/Tuesday off to relieve traffic on four of five weekdays, spread the spending & tax base while allowing people to do business seven days a week not having to take time off work, & spread use of public lands & parks to seven days while eliminating overcrowding.
5.Eliminate paid government holidays for the same government employees which the rest of US don't get.
6.Take 2% from interest credit card companies are getting from millions of people who support the economy through spending while going bankrupt through those credit cards. The same patriotic people these dead beat politicians send to wars based on lies & pay for everything as well as all the taxes! WE the People!
7.Make alcohol companies & any other businesses which have been making billions of $ for years while contributing to our representatives & paying lobbyist but at the same adding problems which cost US more in taxes for police, courts, prisons & such.
8.Tax lobbyist who pay linestanders to hold their place until the last minute & step in to buy our representation.
If government employyes who will scream like a scalded cat over some of these ideas would get off their dead butts & come up with some ideas I may not have too & they might not be looking at these ideas! A free ride doesn't always take you to where you would like to be. I've worked for state government & they don't have to lie to me, I know how it works. I could have ripped the taxpayers off for hundreds of thousands of $ like my boss was but I put an end to that & got nothing but kicked in the teeth by the ignorant people who were being ripped off. Our representatives tried harder to cover up than expose & stop the theft. They would have kept paying my boss to keep stealing from US taxpayers rather than let the truth be known!
Just a few ideas on www.nextrevolution.net
I could come up with a hell of lot more. Realize there are 300,000,000 people in this country who could post & support ideas to make our misrepresentatives work for US instead of corporate unAmerica through campaign finance. They just have to do it, be shareholders, the boss. That's how shareholders of corporations which buy our representation evade taxes & get rich.
Doesn't matter if you're republican or democrat as long as you're an American & pay taxes. If you want to get past the Idaho stereotype you have to take some chances by letting people who haven't ever been past the end of the drive way, see how to do it.
Right, Mr. post some kind of response to everything on this site even if it is worthless, time wasting, wide stance, voted for him twice, fairy dust, foreignoregonian?
More limp Cheney people like foreignoregonian who always respond but never have a solution & man would not yet walk upright, the world would still be flat, we never would have had the American Revolution, & only the positive would be the game of stick tag that monkeys play at the zoo, would be reserved for his family reunions. Hopefully deep in the jungle, away from civilization.
Does that joke get better than a B- Foreignoregonian?
Whose mud? What mud? Where?
What the hell has this got to do with anything and when did you finally get the internet?
Freakin' LOLOL
More noobs, time for a diaper sale.
