EEUUWW...my EYES!!
I would move from there if I were ever crazy enough to live
in that frozen wasteland in the first place! LOL!
I feel like crying too!
One place GUARANTEED that I’d never set foot in...I’ll drive around the state to make sure I never set foot in that land of loons. The place and it’s people are an absolute DISGRACE and are unfit to be called “American”.
...and yet, I have wonderful—conservative—friends who live there.
I frankly don’t see how they take it and why they don’t leave!
Perhaps I’m generalizing a bit, but then again I’d never set foot in Pelosi’s district either!
that’s probably what they said about teddy kennedy
Well, I have been to San Francisco...and it’s a beautiful but crazy/liberal city. There are protests daily. I know why there is a budget emergency there. No one actually works! They are all out on the street protesting one thing or the other! LOL!
I would be embarrassed to be a DIM and have to vote for what
they have to offer! Yeesh!
And yet, they hang on forever! Franken will probably DIE at
100 and still be a senator from MN. Stupidity rules in some places!
He's married.
Yikes! What a loser she must be!...or has just extremely bad taste in men!
Well, the Dems own it all, now! They can’t blame any legislation on the Repubs, though they’ll continue to try.
He DID fight it, to the tune of over a million dollars from the GOP. When the State Supreme Court made their decision, he decided not to fight anymore after that.
They will “try” to blame the R’s...and the weird part is that it will work because of the MSM always being on their side!
We just have to take back our country in 2010...PERIOD!
Which means that those idiot RINOS that have voted and been bribed to vote with the dems are going to see a lot of broken promises and welching from the communists in power.
Well, some find it too difficult and just MOVE to a red state for sanity's sake! ; )
I knew that the smart people would find happier grounds!
Hope things are going well in your new RED home!
Aren’tcha glad you got out in time?? You don’t have to
claim this idiot as “yours”!
He was grateful that I DIDN'T vote for Frankenstein and that I was in China when Jesse got elected. ; )
I'm in unfamiliar, yet very comfortable territory now. : - D
I like it!
It's "almost" like living in Texas!
“Almost nearly but not quite hardly” like living in Texas...but at least you are close enough for a trip now and then to the Promised Land!
I am thankful that you have bosses who appreciate your politics! Now you can come out of the closet you had to reside in while in Minnesoooooooooooblue! :D
P.S You were in China? I want to hear more about that! :D
