He's going to pardon the entire prison population just to screw Obama.

I'd bet that Ted Stevens believes he's going to get a pardon. That dude is convinced that he's got zero chance of serving any jail time.

Bet he tells you it will save social security. And it is your patriotic duty.

Hate to tell you but the guy is right. The Democrats plan on taxing the 401 and noone can stop them from doing it. Obama elected did tell everyone he would do this and raise taxes.

Cash in today.
