This spends a lot of time talking about outsiders working for McNerney but none about the big donations for Pombo from Oil companies and Indian casinos all over the country. It makes it look like Pombo's support comes from his own pocket and the Republican Party, when his biggest support is from people he has sold favors to and will again. Why not look at what Pombo has done for District 11 and balance it against what he has done for outside profiteers?

Pombos is not trust worthy. He has had 12 years to prove his worthyness, he has choosen the low road of politics. He is certainly not in the model of a Goldwater conservative.We sent a boy to cogress 12 years ago and he fail the test of manhood, the ability to reason good over bad. While America falls behind the world in so many markets and education, he focus's on bugs,flowers and the Icons of America wildlife lagacy. He is a disappointment to all of us. Had enough? I have.
There is no way we can collectively find a reason to send the failure back to congress.
Join me in voting him out of congress.

Daily Horoscope for May 22

Libra

Be very careful when handling financial matters today because not everything is as straightforward as it seems. For instance, someone may tell you about a fail-safe way of making money but neglect to mention all the reasons why it's totally illegal. There could also be mistakes if you're spending money, such as being short-changed or overcharged. So watch out!
