What a scumbag touting how he ripped off taxpayers from across the nation.
Tell me again why we keep reelecting this dipwad again?
Ripped off taxpayers, scumbag, please explain the rest of the story.
As to the reason we keep reelecting Bud, I suspect is because there is minimal damage that he creates and he is supportive of the areas industrial development, over internationalism, which equates to jobs locally.
