This is the article NH posted. This is pathetic. And you want to raise my taxes so we can continue to pay for WASTE such as this???????


Convicted Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-IL) is scheduled to receive $8,700 per month in government disability pay, as well as a partial federal pension of $45,000. That generous $8,700 in disability comes thanks to Jackson’s sudden development of a “mood disorder” as the federal government began looking to indict him. Jackson, who was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison, had no history of mental illness during his prior 17 years in Congress. Rev. Jesse Jackson has defended his son’s claims of mental illness, stating to the court, “This time a year ago I thought we may have lost him.”

That is ridiculous.

It is ridiculous. I posted that the other day, fsh.

Well … I haven't been involved in this thread but;

Did you know that the Muslim sob that murdered the American soldiers at Fort Hood, in the name of allah, has been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars and none of the victims of his terrorist attack have received a penny from our American government.

Sorry, I guess I wasn't talking to you, fsh. NH posted it. Sorry.

No problem.
