Too many F’n lawyers.
Agree with you there. I’ll take Santorum, Palin then Cain.
>>Too many Fn lawyers.<<
Mr. Cain was an Entrepreneur, not just a “businessman.”
Well, obviously I’m going to support the youngest of the bunch.
NICE!!!!
RUN SARAH RUN!
Herman Cain: Has Most Of It
Sarah Palin: Has It All
For the good of our country, or it will no longer be our country, we Cannot survive as a Union, Four More Years of Ubama, we just can't, its not my opinion, its not what I want to happen, we just won't.
We need a real leader on our side, with all this talk of the Chinese moving to Idaho, Israel going to War, and Civil War here at Home, we can't have putzs like Mitt Romney, Newt or this Rollins fellow (or whoever the clown is Michele just hired for some reason) on our side Mucking things up. Too much is at stake, or your grandchildren will ask you how their uncle died in the 2nd War Between the States.
You’re GOOD with that paint and lipstick!!
I agree with your every word.
Considering the requirements for the job, the present historical standards being set by the present temp, I’m afraid that each of the applicants are over qualified for the position.
You couldn’t be more right.
Mega dittos.
