Sheldon, deliver us from evil. Thank you for showing some spine. Hope it's catching in the Senate (and the House).

Your a first rate piece of a no do hack saddly elected by the people of Rhode Island. We deserve better. We need Steve Laffey for Senator.

As a RI voter, I can attest that Shelly Whitehouse is a disgrace to our state and the country. He has no business being in Washington. He was sorely defeated in his run for governor of RI and turned to the Senate to find a job. He is a true hatemonger and a lapdog to Obama. He has no concern for the people of RI (or the country) but only for his own agenda (much like his master, Obama). We can only pray for Whitehouse's term to be up soon so he can go back to being just a rich attorney.

We need to Impeach obama and remove these grazy Senators and Congreesmen and Pelosi.... whats with our gov't it's killing us

Hey Whitehouse!! You ranted on the Floor of the Senate, just before the Thanksgiving Break, that Obama never stated that he (Obama) wanted a National Security Force. Check your facts before you rant!! On 7/8/08, in Colorado, Obama called for a National Security Force that was as "powerful" and "well funded" as the US Military. Also, why are many of your postings disabled for comments? Chicken?

Sheldon whitehouse is one of the most repugnant individuals I have ever encountered. This individual kept an obviously innocent man in prison on a life sentence. Even after the "real murderer" confessed Sheldon made him PROVE he was guilty before he would move to release the innocent man. Even after this CRIME was laid bare, did Sheldon apologize for of imprisoning an innocent RHODE ISLANDER? NO! In fact he told another lie in a ridiculous attempt to protect his reputation.

IMPEACH THIS ACORN SUPPORTER.

Any good he may have alledgedly done is overshadowed by the act of treason he commited by voting in favor of ACORN.

If any time is a time to worry about the president spying it's now.

Obam bring the troops home now!

Thanks Corporations8! You are SO right! Senator Whitehouse rocks and is truly a National Treasure! I wish he was my Senator! His knowledge of the law and his search for justice is truly patriotic! God Bless You Senator Whitehouse!
