After 8 Years of George Worst Bush, The Bush Economic Meltdown, abandoning the search for Osama BinLaden to start an optional OIL war in Iraq, Domestic spying, Torture for fun&profit, and total disregard for the US Constitution... Of course I support Obama!
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. John Kenneth Galbraith
What about Senator Ervin? And look who's talking the same morons that supported Spritzer, Hevesi and Charlie Rangel Dean of the NY Congressional Delegation!
Next time I see "Farmer" Paul Tonko I will ask him if he still supports the failed Obama policies.
I somewhat agree with Boxy Roxy. But Rox this congressman is a moron who deserve to get sued by the kid. Great way to cultivate young people into the dirty world of politics. BUT BOXY you are dead on about Bush and the gang. They should be brought up on war crimes charges.
Like I said before....dem or rep....they have ALL just about ripped up the constitution right in our faces. ALL OF THEM!!!

This is too delicious. Who's worse the Congressman or his stunad supporters here? Ask every DEM if they still support the whole Obama agenda. Then duck and cover.
RALEIGH (WTVD) -- Days after North Carolina Congressman Bob Etheridge (D-Lillington) was seen in a video confrontation with a man with a camera on a Washington street, a new poll seems to indicate the incident has damaged him with voters.
The conservative leaning Civitas Institute released a flash poll Thursday that shows Etheridge slightly trailing Republican challenger Renee Ellmers.
Civitas said the poll of 400 registered voters in the 2nd Congressional District shows Ellmers leads Etheridge 39 percent to 38 percent. Twelve percent said they would vote for Libertarian Tom Rose and 11 percent said they were undecided.
GOP guidelines issued for dealing with videographers 2 hrs 6 mins ago
It seems like common sense, but with recent videotaped confrontations embarrassing public figures, the National Republican Senatorial Committee has issued guidelines for how lawmakers (and staffers) can avoid getting the sort of viral media attention that no politician wants.
The memo by the committee's chief counsel — obtained by Politico reporter Shira Toeplitz — reminds Senate GOPers that it's a bad idea to "insult or threaten" or "physically touch" a videographer.
To drive the point home, counsel Sean Cairncross reminds his readers of two recent, high-profile Democratic altercations: Rep. Bob Etheridge's confrontation last week with a self-identified student, and the ejection of a videographer from an event for U.S. Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias of Illinois. The Giannoulias video was posted to YouTube on Thursday:
Cairncross cited the Giannoulias incident as an example of how not to act when confronted by an unwelcome videographer. He noted that the altercation "has created potential legal liability for both the individuals involved and the Giannoulias campaign." A Giannoulias campaign spokeswoman told Politico that the people who confronted the videographer were guests at the event.
The GOP memo states that "so long as a videographer is on public property and not actively disrupting an event," the videographer has the right to keep recording.
On Monday, Etheridge issued a public apology for the altercation, adding that he wanted to personally extend his apology to the men involved. The men still haven't been identified.
