In our county, a while back, the sheriffs were unsuccessfully negotiating for a raise when someone realized that at the rate of pay they were receiving, they qualified for food stamps. The sheriffs came to sign up for food stamps all together and invited the press..... They got their raise.

The one that cost the U.S. economy $24 billion and added $100 million to the deficit in higher interest costs. Never fear, Obama will make it up for you, the deficit has been in free fall under his stewardship.

Every Repub who is now an Independent?
Have you seen any of the polls or don't they report them over at Faux and Friends?  Your Tea party is now less popular than 'roids and the Repubs are polling lower than any party has ever polled since Gallup started tracking.
