lol. Smokin’ Joe, make sure we’re never in the same building. You are a kindred spirit. lol.

Tact has never been my strong suit. AT least not when I’m fired up or when everything I love is being threatened. That’s why lawyers get under my skin so bad.

I envision the snake in Eden as a lawyer. “Did God REALLY say you shall not eat of the fruit of any tree in the garden......? Doesn’t it depend on what the meaning of is is? Let’s interpret what God meant to say, dissect it according to established precedent, assign motives to Him, and judge Him according to our own warped, small minds...”

That’s not to say we don’t have to get the nitpicky details right, or that we don’t need to interpret laws, etc. But the oily justifications for perverting the meaning of words is something I just don’t deal with very well.

And Congress is full of the snake-oil salesmen. If I was in Congress I’d be shouting “You lie!” through the whole dang thing.

This is why I said right away that Sarah Palin could do more for this country when she WASN’T sitting in the governor’s seat as bait for anybody who wanted to make up lies and sue her.

I don’t know. Maybe this guy is the perfect person to send to Corruption City. Maybe he knows how you have to work there. I’m just a podunk hick who still thinks honesty is the best policy and we’re best off if we speak our minds plainly. I guess I belong in the heap with the old Selectric typewriters. lol.

Electric? I'm back with the Underwoods...I guess I am old fashioned.

I don't want some conniving pipsqueak in office who can lie better than the rest of the herd, I want someone in there who believes the right things and will fight for what is right.

I have a feeling that if we were in the same building we might end up fighting back to back, but it is sure we'd be on the same team.
