Senator Dissenters Threatened
Gee...another desperate email from the Obama Minions....I thought you'd like to see some of the crap they are still sending out in emails! Cheeky removed the links aside from the one that has text in it (because you HAD to see what they wrote there) but I caution you that if you click it you have automatically added your signature to their "list" which is very sneaky.

Why Did the Senator's Girlfriend's Husband Go to the Media?
(( I don't care that Ensign had an affair - what's catching my attention is the woman's husband - he's really starting to seem like a guy who's mad because his Golden Goose isn't (and it's hard to stay polite here) paying out any more. Any media outlet that got a letter like this would reasonably check it out and it would make sense that people they approached for verification might let the Senator know.

Coming to the rescue are a few Republicans standing ready to help pass the pending $410 billion catchall spending bill - and allow lawmakers in both parties to get the thousands of pet projects they crave and above-inflation budget increases for favorite programs like education. A close vote is expected late this week to advance the sweeping spending bill, which wraps together the budgets for 12 Cabinet departments and other agencies, to President Barack Obama.Caroline Kennedy ends Senate bid
