Bump!

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Dems cozy up to dictators that insult Condi Rice, George bush and those who wish freedom for this hemisphere and the world.

Remember, we are not all that way up here. Some of us are trying to fight the good fight.

[Jimmy Valentine]

This is not new.

Will somewone please post that picture of Tom "Dung" Harkin and John F'n Kerry shmoozing with the Sandanista thug?

This is your DemocRAT party.

This is little bit like a politician doing a deal with Hitler for "bone meal" for the farmers.

Treason with the cover of compassion for the poor.

[Jimmy Valentine]

Thank you my dear.

Lest we forget.

Families would pay about $276 for a 200-gallon shipment, a savings of about $184 and enough to last about three weeks.

WTF? One family uses 200 gallons of oil in 3 weeks? What kind of poor people live in homes that require that much fuel? That's what, about 1200 gallons per winter? I find that hard to believe.

I would think that the people of Venezuela need the profits from the oil, more than they need to have Chavez enrich himself and Delahunt to endear himself to people who, though they may be called 'poor', are not all that impoverished.
