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.

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"

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!!

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