Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts?
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt,
Always have clean shirts
To play around in.

In their sties, with all their backing,
They don't care what goes on around.
In their eyes, there's something lacking;
What they need's a damn good whacking!

Don't know this to be true but it was supposed to had come from a fairly reliable source. When a new person is elected to washington (freshmen) the old ones take them behind closed doors for a meeting. Their message---this is our town and this is the way we run it. You comply by our ways or you pack your bags and go home or else--PERIOD! Should we let them in on the glow in the dark bananas so they can wear them when they seek the company of the ladies of the evening so they can be found easily, or would that take the fun of hide and seek away.

Another reason why Congressman Ron Paul will make a great president...he seems to be the only man in politics who isn't corrupt.

Nothing new here, that any salient Vital Votes reader already did not know.

However, in the HIT PARADE of daily revelations of vetted FACTS posted at mercola.com, the mainstream headlines, that some of you might have caught last evening, was "that SODIUM BENZOATE, an mold inhibitor in most soda pop brands actually is harmful to health".

Well imagine that?!

Non Vital Vote Americans actually getting a snip-it of real unfiltered truth, about how badly dumb-downed the food and beverage chain are!

Being the cynic, I remain, I was half expecting an new Big Pharma brand drug commercial, following the headline, to offer a maintenance reactive therapy for 'Soda Sodium Bezonate Syndrome (SSBS)', hyped by some has-been TV celebrity, claiming only one magic pill per month will allow you to continue to enjoy gallons of soda per day!!!

Hmmmm, we need a brand name; got it - BS-ESTA(TM).

Yes, I can see it now; the placement endorsement follow up campaign to the DVD sales, of Pirates of the Caribbean 3, will include Johnny Depp, popping an BS-ESTA (TM) pill, prior to guzzling his favorite beverage (Rum & Coke?), and swashbuckling his way to Pirate$ 4....

I typed in 10 different representatives and each had as the #1 contributor to their funds, Attorney's!! What is that saying.
Drug companies hide additional funds through other sources, ie. Attorney's!!
Great site.

Definetly some interesting connections Dr. Mercola. This is a site that needs to be bookmarked and used in elections.
