You'll love this one!~ But I'll bet you won't be surprised either!!! <br /> <br />NBA or NFL?????<br /><br /><br />36 have been accused of spousal abuse. <br /><br />7 have been arrested for fraud. <br />19 have been accused of writing bad checks. <br />117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses. <br />3 have done time for assault. <br />71, repeat 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit. <br />14 have been arrested on drug-related charges. <br />8 have been arrested for shoplifting. <br />21 currently are defendants in lawsuits. and <br />84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year. <br /> <br />Can you guess which organization this is? <br /> <br />Give up yet? . . . <br /> <br />Scroll down, citizen ! <br /><<br /><<br /><<br /><<br /><<br /><<br /><<br /><<br /><<br /><<br /><<br /><<br /><<br /><<br /><<br />It's the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same group of Idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line. <br /><br />Any surprise that this nation is in the shape it is in?

Not the first time this has been posted......<br /><br /><br />Still just as dumb as the first time........how many people fall into more than one of those offenses??(I'm sure quite a few) I'm pretty sure that the actual percentages of congressmen that have done those things would correlate with the US population.<br /><br />EDIT: and besides the drunk driving offense, there is no other reference to when these things occured.

Hate to break the news,but this one has circulated for a number of years and Snoops has debunked it as untrue.

But no one would have been surprised if it were true. Total lack of faith in our represenatives. At least it is on my part.

Thanks heycods. I was beginning to get a complex. (not :p )<br /><br />Thought that all those who like to bash the current power brokers would have liked to know that even a conservative didn't think that all were perfect. ;)

I wonder how those stats would (if they were true) fit a random sample of 535 iboats members.
