PHONY

Joe, what can I do to help you STOP the waste of government spending that is going on in Washington? It is time to take our government back from the politicians and make it as it should be and was in Lincoln's time....of, by and for the people! ABE abeusa16.com

What a twat! Really he should be saying this to his son in an interview style situation.

[whizonit]

Quoting Joe:

"I think it's a crime for our elected officials to borrow money today, to spend money today, and push the repayment of that loan out into the future on people who are not even born yet."

So Joe, have called your sons to let them know you think they are criminals and hooligans? I guess you're not very proud of them....

Screw the Cubs and their hubris to ask for $300 MILLION in this economy. Now please excuse me, I have to go paint classrooms in a crumbling grammar school.

HEY JOE, LEFT OUT, "OUT"

[MiHiVidz]

And this plutocrat wants to soak the taxpayers of Chicago $300 million to renovate Wrigley Field, the Freaking Hypocrite!

Just another right wing two-faced scumbag from Nebraska. Just like Clarence Thomas, Enron, and Dick Cheney.

A side note: The OTHER baseball stadium that Ricketts owns that's in Omaha has screwed the taxpayers there so badly that their city is now forever in the red. Now he wants to sink Chicago like he sunk Omaha. DO NOT LET HIM!!

HEY JOE ,FEEL YOUR PAIN,NOT------BLOW IT YOUR ASS !!!!!!

Hypocrisy much? I guess there are good earmarks (yours) and bad (everyone else's). I think your credibility is showing.

Bush Trillion Dollar War (and growing) for Oil/Halliburton. Bush Trillions of Dollars tax breaks for 1.5% of Americans (whom don't require such a "break". Republicans and GOP - Con men and Crooks hiding behind false religion and false patriotism.

As I've written to lame Governor Chris Christie - GIVE THE $271 Million BACK to the US tax payers if you're not going to use it as intended - to build the new tunnel between NJ and NY. You want to rail AGAINST government spending - GIVE IT BACK - it's our money.

Typical republiCON-thinks the masses are idiots & won't be curious enough to discover that he wants $300,000,000.00 in PUBLIC MONEY to add LUXURY SUITES to his kid's baseball team's stadium

The truth is these evil bastards will take all the earmarks THEY can get-they just don't want any government spending that would actually benefit the broader society

But as long as low income & poor people don't get off their lazy asses and vote, societal cancers like Ricketts will rob the USA blind

[tubette1]

hahahaha! what a hypocrite!

[KJamesB]

@tubette1 He's quoting C Street Mafia boss Tom Coburn of all criminals!!

No earmarks for Wrigley Field old man - either you want the team in Chicago or you don't, but YOU FOOT THE BILL not the taxpayers you theiving scumteabager!

[dpk12000]

End government spending! Unless it involves floating $300 million in bonds for a baseball team, that is.
