So what's the problem?
BROWNBACK....This man is a freaking MORON words fail me. If I say anymore I'll be banned.

Go away!
Hey, What's to worry. There won't be anything left for the baby boomers anyway.
The Dem's killed the proposals for modification to Social Security so what;s a few million wetbacks going to accomplish? They'll just break the bank. They'll blame Bush for it anyway.
I like you. Why don't you like me?
