It seems to have become the ambition of everyone with political power to reward their cronies at everyone else's expense. Loot the public and divide the spoils.

The local RINO* establishment thinks YOU are more dangerous than Democrats. They have been terrified of the Tea Party ever since it started, even if they would like to whip us into line and take advantage of us.

BOISE - Pocatello Sen. Edgar Malepeai pleaded guilty to a DUI charge in Boise on Thursday. He will pay a $732 fine, serve one year probation, and lose his driving privileges for 90 days. He was also ordered to attend educational classes and a DUI victim's panel.

It gets crazier. After being arrested in December, Malepeai was elected minority caucus chair by his Democratic colleagues. Are they all DUI? These are the same peo...
