Just another outrage

The fact he gets salary while on suspension is wrong but then so is the amount of the salary. He should have been fired.

Of course he should be removed from office - but when the voters in Michigan [as posted above] have a "So what?" attitude, how will it ever happen? :(

It all depends on which special interest group is backing him. Michigan politics is dominated by the Dems and the unions. Just a fact. Just like my non-rep, John Dingell(berry) 98% of his funds come from out side of the State. I wonder who he represents? Those in his district or those who cover his costs? Not to worry, I WILL be voting against EVERY incumbent in this years elections, local, state and federal.

LOS, thought I would give you some numbers, regarding Dingell's contributions:

Top 5 Contributors '09-'10
1. Ford Motor Co.
2. DTE Energy
3. GM
4. National Assoc. of Broadcasters
5. American College of Cardiology

The top 3 are headquartered in Michigan. The last 2 are national in scope, so I guess you could say they are "outside" of Michigan.

But thiose are direct contributors. Indirectly through different PACs and the party, the outside money is more than those top five combined times three.

He does get some from in state sources but almost NOTHING from those that he is sent to represent. The entire system is corrupt.

A couple of days ago the Toledo Blade actually Endorsed Dingell--Go figure.
Ofcourse the Toledo Blade has always been a far Left Newspaper too.

An OHIO paper endorsing a Michigan Rep? Must be where some of the outside money is coming from. :eek:
