My state's big win!
New Hampshire is tiny, but we make a big splash in Washington.

Of the 14 Congress persons chosen for top honors - NH is represented twice!

http://www.crewsmostcorrupt.org/mostcorrupt - CREW's Most Corrupt Members of Congress

CREW’s seventh report on congressional corruption names 19 members of Congress – 14 members whose actions violated the law or who otherwise engaged in serious misconduct, and five others whose lack of regard for the rules earned them a dishonorable mention. The 2010 midterm elections swept in a large freshman class, but certainly didn’t produce more ethical conduct. A startling 14 of the 19 members on the list are new to it this year, and six of those members are also new to Congress:

1. I'm sure you're proud!
:rofl:

Sorry. What's the chance of removing them from office?

3. It's hard to say.
In CD-2 (our district), the likely candidate is once
again Ann Kuster, who ran against Bass in 2010 and
came the closest of all of the Federal candidates of
defeating their Republican opponent.

In CD-1, there's going to be a Primary, but Carol
Shea-Porter (who was the one-term incumbent ousted
by the Republican) will be running again and may
well win. Meanwhile, her opponents are also good
Democrats.

In the General Election? Who knows! New Hampshire
seems to really, really hate Obama, but on the
other hand, they also are coming to hate the
combination Tea-Bagger/Free State Project/Libertarian
"Republicans" who are ruinning the state
right now.

5. Then we'll see if color hatred is stronger than
self preservation.

6. It doesn't have much to do with race (IMNSHO) but everything to do with hatred...
...of any hint of "Liberalism".

7. You have a good heart. I live in Arkansas and
I see their naked hatred of him because of his color.

8. Most people go into politics in order to profit from corruption and graft.
Most politicians don't give a damn about the public good, they are in it for al the dirty money.

10. Better luck next year!
We'll gladly send you Bass and Guinta.

'course Bass is just a little fella and might not measure
up to Texas standard for politicians! ;)
