Ronald Wilson Reagan (February 6, 1911 – June 5, 2004)
Way to go, Governor Palin.
I love it, with sincere thanks.
Please stay with us and be in the leadership when Zero's first term ends, assuming we can't get rid of him sooner, given his Kenyan birth place, per his Paternal Grandmother.
What a joke this whole process has become and continues.
Classy lady is RIGHT!!!
Thanks SO much for the ping!
Say there, ever been to Alaska??
;)
I have a time or 2. Sarah is pure class...despite the brickbats thrown at her from every corner of the United States, includeing the Dims and disgruntled Repubs (sorta) of Alaska. No lie is too low to spread far and wide. Thanks, Governor Palin, for showing them up with your class.
