Does it not bother you that:
* 29 members of Congress have been accused of spousal abuse.
* 7 have been arrested for fraud.
* 19 have been accused of writing bad checks.
* 117 have bankrupted at least two businesses.
* 3 have been arrested for assault.
* 71 have credit reports so bad they can't qualify for a
credit card.
* 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges.
* 8 have been arrested for shoplifting.
* 21 are current defendants in lawsuits.
* And in 1998 alone, 84 were stopped for drunk driving, but released after they claimed Congressional immunity.
I cannot believe that! It shocks me, thank god I live in Canada.

Yes it bothers me. The fact is Joe Smith can't get elected. You have to be rich to afford TV ads. Let's ixnay TV ads as illegal. Make them walk door to door. It's the only thing that might help.

Abandonment is a particular criminal term that's used to describe a topic the place one better half has left the marriage and/or the abode, and that they are able to't be found, they have not presented help or have not had any touch with the different social gathering in a 12 months or extra. purely leaving the marital residence to sidestep hostility or different damaging circumstances isn't abandonment. Abandonment happens while a extra robust half ends cohabitation without justification, without the consent of the different better half, and without the point of renewing cohabitation. in many states, to be legally seen abandonment, the better half has to bypass away for a minimum of a 12 months.

You know what, I think you need to check your sources, cuz even if that were true, most of the things those congressmen did was during their teen years, and they were just doing the same things you and I are (or were) doing those years. But yeah, you're right, you are lucky that you live in Canada, it's safer there.

Yes it bother me and i won't vote for them . It's very hypocritical of them to bring up God , like Tom Delay did after he was accused of bribery and cheating the American people .
As far as I'm concerned he was the biggest crook among many in our Government and he had the audacity to say that he was God like and you could see the face of God in him . More like the Devil , I'd say .
Seems after these people are in office for a few years they lose sense of whats right and whats wrong . Who pays , we do , you and me .
Well , are we going to keep paying and keep filling their pockets ?
Not me , I'm mad as he(( and I'm not going to take it any more !!!!!

Yeah, it bothers me, but America is still a good place, our problem is our leaders, not us.
We aren't really given the chance to vote for good leaders, because people only vote for people from a certain group, either Republicans or Democrats.
The problem is that those two parties get to choose who they will help.
ok, wow I didn't know that, could you send me your source?

Hell, no wonder their poll numbers are in the toilet!
It bothers me, but there are many of them and every one of them is human just like all of us.
It bothers me more that the press selects one thing and thats all you hear about for weeks.

It bothers me that most or all of them are republicans, and that they all lie for eachother. They also try to put the blame on everyone except themselves.
