Why are people so stupid?
You guys pick a side and then act all self righteous..... what fools!
It doesn't matter which "side" you pick it still all goes to the same
people..... not us, quit feeding them.
It's called! Divide and Conquer...... split you into at least two groups and
create competition, then they go about their day with "Business" while
you don't pay attention to it.

With only Kennedy and what appears to be Carey depicted here and with Bush
noticeably in absence it would appear to be making the point that the Democratic
party stood to gain the most by the failed amnesty bill since both Democrats and
Republicans both know the bulk of these voters would be/vote Democratic.
One other thought on why Bush would be outta the cartoon is that he has no
chance for re-election in the coming elections while Kennedy and Carey do

Please send this on to as many people as you can..
You've got to read this all the way through to the bottom.

----------------------------------
SOCIAL SECURITY:
(This is worth reading. It is short and to the point.)
Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions during election years.
Our Senators and Congresswomen do not pay into Social
Security and, of course, they do not collect from it.
You see, Social Security benefits were not suitable for persons of their rare
elevation in society . They felt they should have a special plan for themselves.
So, many years ago they voted in their own benefit plan.
In more recent years, no congressperson has felt the need to change it. After
all, it is a great plan.
For all practical purposes their plan works like this:
When they retire, they continue to draw the same pay until they die.
Except it may increase from time to time for cost of living adjustments..
For example, Senator Byrd and Congressman White and their wives may expect to
draw $7,800,000.00 (that's Seven Million, Eight-Hundred Thousand Dollars), with
their wives drawing $275, 000.00 during the last years of their lives.
This is calculated on an average life span for each of those two
Dignitaries.
Younger Dignitaries who retire at an early age, will receive much more during
the rest of their lives.
Their cost for this excellent plan is
$0.00. NADA..! ZILCH...
This little perk they voted for themselves is free to them. You and I pick up
the tab for this plan. The funds for this fine retirement plan come directly
from the General Funds;
"OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK "!
From our own Social Security Plan, which you and I pay (or have paid) into,
every payday until
we retire (which amount is matched by our employer). We can expect to get an
average of $1,000 per month after retirement. Or, in other words, we would have
to collect our average of $1,000 monthly benefits for 68 years and one (1) month
to equal Senator! Bill Bradley's benefits!
Social Security could be very good if only one small change were made. That
change would be to:
Jerk the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan from under the Senators and Congressmen.
Put them into the Social Security plan with the rest of us Then sit back.....And
see how fast they would fix it.
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and
maybe good changes will evolve.
How many people CAN you send this to?
Better yet...... How many people WILL you send this to ?

Thanks for clarifiying that for us but truth is not a requirement for some
people on this site, as you may have seen. Emails like those represented above
go directly to trash when they hit my computer so I have never seen any of them.
People have to stop believing everything they see on the internet, anyone can
put anything they like on emails and websites without any oversight at all.

No. The guy's right. Their retirement is paid for as is their health
insurance.
The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution that these slimeballs keep
trying to twist into a pretzel clearly says that when we, the people, catch
they, our representatives doing what they've been up to now (clearly) for the
last six or so years, we need to oust them and start over.
Impeach them. Before they REALLY DO own you lock stock and barrel.

I do not believe the accusation but even if it were true, getting rid of them
and starting over would not change anything. Cleaning house and putting new
people in would just allow the new ones to enjoy the same things the old ones
did unless the laws were changed first and that is not going to happen. The
only way to do it at all would be to get rid of all our laws and government
entirely and start over and that will never happen.
