    Say what else you will about the guy, but boy does he have a pair going to this show at all with his positions and everything.
    (I think most of the hate on him is jealousy that he was mildly more competent in protecting his home state's jobs, but what are you going to do?)

    @Landau_Calrissian: EDIT: I just read his record, and he likes the flat tax and is skeptical about global warming. He also did the standard assorted morally unconscionable things all politicians do and was unethical in business like all of them are, but I like him now based on the first 2 positions :)

    "Nearly" is streaching it a bit. Perhaps, you were "Nearly with in 10 feet" of him.

    @WilliamG.: Chinese fire drills are measurably less entertaining with only two people in a two seater. For maximum effect you need at least six people and a four-door.

    Michigan's two senators aren't millionaires. Debbie Stabenow comes from a working class background and Carl Levin's been a public servant most of his adult life.

    @bozoerrebbe: "..Michigan's two senators aren't millionaires. Debbie Stabenow comes from a working class background and Carl Levin's been a public servant most of his adult life..."


    Actually, Carl Levin IS a millionaire:


    [www.opensecrets.org]


    Debbie Stabenow reports a negative net worth of about 50K, but raised over 12 million last year for her campaign, so you can fill in the blanks about why that might be. How does someone with no personal fortune get to be the one put in the senatorial seat? Who does she owe? Why did they put her there?

    19 million dollar man walking...make way.


    In 2006, Corker sold off several commercial properties, thereby eliminating more than $20 million in mortgages that had counted as liabilities against his assets. With those liabilities out of the way, Corker's minimum net worth jumps from about $1.5 million on his 2006 report to more than $19 million on his 2007 report.


    One of the liabilities remaining is attributed to Corker's "dependent child": a loan from the Senator valued at more than $1 million, payable at 5.05 percent interest.


    In 2007, according to an explanatory note attached to his disclosure form, Corker also divested himself of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of publicly traded stock in order to avoid any appearance of conflicts of interest. He consolidated his investments in several funds that are widely diversified and therefore do not have to report their underlying holdings. When one of the funds could not meet the Ethics Committee's requirements for an "exempt" fund, Corker withdrew from the investment.

    @bmoredlj: Sounds like a man trying to honestly meet the ethical requirements of office to me. Anyone with money has similar issues: Kennedy, Shriver, Biden... whoever. The only people who find this information objectionable, don't understand the class of people it is that gets to be a senator in the first place. They aren't good old boys who work at the local Jiffy Lube. If that bugs anyone, I suggest a quick examination of Carolyn Kennedy. Pffttt...
