He had the distinction throughout the USA of being the biggest &#8216;Pork Barrel&#8217; Congressman around.<br \/>\nWith him gone this may be the further weakening of the huge Democrat majority, much to Obama, Pelosi and their minion&#8217;s sorrow.<br \/>\nI remember the line: &#8220;The best-laid plans of mice and men oft(en) go astray&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Part of me rejoices in the end of his corrupt dynasty, but I<em> would have preferred if he just lost his re-election.<\/em> I do hope and pray that his replacement will be fair and have the needs of all the citizens of this great country foremost in his or her minds and actions.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking of the anti-American Marxists currently running this U.S.A., reminds me of a Bible quotation: James 4:13-17.
