Hmmmm, something tells me this will come back to haunt him.

Late: Does anyone else have 3 of the 6 “Around the Web” links below that are anti-Obama & Clinton?
I never click on that stuff just saying that’s sort of weird. I get it that they are generated from whatever and not TPM choices.

Good luck with that one Congressman.

As we’ve seen at Fox, many organizations have this kind of thing insured. But that probably depends on the quality of the process for dealing with harassment.

Based on typical GOTPer horseshit, this guy has probably been hitting that special fund harder than most.

Good for you but what ‘makes sense’ is not always YOUR party line. We’ll be watching…

At last, a Republican with a good idea.

You can bet that if Roy Moore is elected, he will be a sexual harassment hawk—only towards Democrats, of course. It’s his character to embody the most hypocritical position on any moral issue.

Take it much, much further. The American citizens should not be paying for the moneyed interests’ bribes to Republican politicians! Which is what their tax scam bill does— the moneyed interests and GOP donors get a tax cut, which the American citizens pay for via the cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, higher education, etc.

Lance is one of the most endangered Republicans, and if the tax bill passes he’s fucked. There’s not a whole lot for him to lose.

No sh*t Sherlock. When you got a speeding ticket, did you go to your state Rep. and get him to pay for it?!!

It’s beyond the point where TAXES shouldn’t pay for congress members.
Get paid when you work, not fund raise.
Get paid for accomplishments, not vacations
Get paid when you vote.
Pay for your your own damn healthcare.
Pay for own rides to wherever, by auto, train or plane.
Pay for own meals.
At least earn some part of the gravy train ride you’re on.
Cut back on the free Viagra and you might get more work done.
lol bitchy today and it’s damp, cold and rainy. lol
