WTF is Congress doing?

Roger Clemens gets more attention than getting our troops out of Iraq and Afganistan????? Friggen stoopid. I mean, who really cares if he did or didn't? I care more about our troops, who don't have the body armor, nor the armored vehicles they need in a combat theater...

If they want to do something good they should have a hearing with Debbie Clemens and Canseco's wife and find out who really got the better boob job !

I think we should arm the congressmen and send there butts over there and put them in the same places as our soldiers who don't have protection.




My cousin finally got out of there but he had to spend the last month in a tent

I was hoping something would come out of Kerry and Biden being forced down in Afghansitan mountains. but I guess the HGH hearings are more important.

There is hardly one member of congress that cares about anything else but getting reelected. Get your face in front of the camera for the live shot whether it is good or bad for you its publicity. Only someone whose ego borders on maniacal would even run for office. Anyone else is just naive. Someday the citizens will themselves put a stop to all the BS. I don't know how, but we will.

Didn't you hear?Sports($$$) is much more important than our boys. How could anyone think that our boys are more important than money?Are you ignorant?

Holy %$%$%$%$ this is what pisses me more than anything else on the planet.Avoid the issue and it doesn't exist.

These are our boys.WTF IS WRONG WITH AMERICA?THESE ARE OUR SONS,DAUGHTERS,HUSBANDS AND WIVES!!!!!!!!

I'm so tired of how the media has just forgotten.All we seem to care about is some decrepit white woman or some inexperienced black guy and of course Roger.....politics is the only thing that matters,screw the soldiers apparently.

I agree with you Ross..who really gives a %$%$%$%$ about Roger. I thought congress is supposed to write laws etc. If they spent the money they wasted on this subject alone they could probably supply a combat team with body armor.

I think the only way to give Washington a message is everyone sending in there tax money a week late. They just don't get it down there. I think what we need is an accountant ,not a fancy talker. It no longer seems to mater which party, they both seem to be in it for them selves
