"Not true at all. Bush works hard 24/7 at fucking up America. He's always on the job."

1. "Keeping us here eats away at families,"
proclaimed Rep. Jack Kingston(R-Dixie), who typically flies home to Georgia on Thursdays and returns on Tuesdays. "Marriages suffer. The democrats could care less about families, that's what this says."

I see, democrats are anti-family because they think that congressman should be at their jobs in DC more than two days a week. (The typical legislative week starts late Tuesday and ends Thursday afternoon) Hey Jack, would you like some cheese with that whine?

6. Really. Kingston needs to enlist, do 3 tours

in Iraq(like my son, a Marine) and find out what service to his country really means.
This just shows the bubble these guys live in. He has to work FIVE DAYS A WEEK a few weeks out of the year.
I hope this "let them eat cake" attitude hits the airwaves so all the Bubbas out there is Rush's radioland will find out what a bunch of lightweights these Repubs. are.
Five days a week. A few weeks each year.
BooHoo.

5. These folks oppose raising the min. wage
so people have to work 2 or 3 jobs that pay $5.15 an hour just to survive. Somehow I don't that's very easy on families.

3. These are the same Republickers that want to eliminate overtime pay.
They want to class all employees as 'management' from computer programmers to nurses to secretaries. They think the 40 hour work week, for actual working people, should be eliminated.

I hope whoever runs against that asswipe in 2008 uses his quotes in campaign commercials.

7. The real reason they're tick is this
They have lost most of the time they usually spend gathering their other monies.

I think this was a very wise strategic move.
