This organization has a little over 500 employees and has the following statistics:

* 29 have been accused of spousal abuse
* 7 have been arrested for fraud
* 19 have been accused of writing bad checks
* 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at
least 2 businesses
* 3 have done time for assault
* 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
* 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
* 8 have been arrested for shoplifting
* 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
* 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the
last year...

Can you guess which organization this is?


Give up yet?
It"s the 535 members of the United States
Congress.
The same group that crank out hundreds of new laws
each year designed to keep the rest of us in
line.

Is anyone surprised?

On the net we can say anything we want, and don't have to prove it or disclose our source.

Please tell us what your source is, or don't subject us to any more of this kind of BS.

I assume then old that because my dad is mayor in our small town and brings home $100 dollars a month he is dipping into the treasury. I agree that quite a few politicions are crooked, but lets not make too many generalizations here.

So he fits into that 1% out of how many millions of mayors out there. Think about what I said I did not say ALL of them just 99% of them

Not surprising since 99% of people in office are crooks. From a mayor of a small town all the way up. And for that matter P.A. in our court houses and the cops also.

Yeah, hahaha, I don't believe that for a second. I once took a state defensive driving course where they taught us that for every person that gets a DUI theres 2000 drunk drivers on the road at that don't get caught. I thought it was a dumb fact to share.
Anyways, if you say 84 Congress Members got DUI's then that would mean that Congress members drove drunk 168,000 times last year.

The article from the link says 27 have had driving while intoxicated charges in their lives. Thats a little different than 84 out of 535 in one year. A little different meaning 400% high if there were 27 in just one year, let alone a lifetime. If you said that each congressmen has been 21 for at least 27 years then that 84 claim is off by 53,500%
