Dennis Hastert's son to run for father's seat
http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=299269

"What really drives me is I'm concerned about the unprecedented levels of spending and borrowing," Hastert said of the current congressional leadership. "People share my frustration. What we've got is a change in quantity, not quality in Washington, D.C.

"You're looking at three times the spending and three times the deficit. If you want a serious check or balance against what's happening in Washington, it starts with the 14th District."

Do all Republicans think the public is stupid?
This is like Moe and Larry Driving the family car for thirty years. They rip out the brakes. Then driving 200 mph toward the cliff, they turn the wheel over to Curly. Seeing the car plunge into the abyss they ask control of the car back since Curly has obviously not done his job.

1. this bothers me because i assume
that there will be a level of dirty tricks that foster might not be ready for. denny's old friends, like the drug lords in turkey who were sending him giant bribes, would like to have a patsy again.

well, we shall see just how dumb people are, i guess.

2. Maybe this is why Foster is not voting for any spending
Not the Stim package.

And not the Energy bill this past Friday.

Shit.

4. I am thinking you are right on that too.
Still going to call his office and ask for an accounting of why though. So sad. Had just hope for this guy. Was just reviewing the site of one of his rivals this afternoon as saw this guy walk in the parade too. Wanna get sick? Look at www. jeff14 . com without the spaces. Stupid is his middle name.
