"Washington, or as I like to call it, 68 square miles surrounded by reality." -- Scott Walker

Boy, did he nail it there! Spent a couple of days in DC being stunned by the opulent prosperity. Only to return to the land of closed businesses and boarded-up buildings when I drove out about as far as Hagerstown.

Yes Walker did nail it with that - and Cruz has been saying similar things for years. I think ultimately it will come down to those two, because that IS THE message of 2016.

And yes, it’s opulent. I’ve been in DC twice in February - and let me tell you, it’s rich on both sides of the tracks. There is no bad side of the tracks. It’s God Awful expensive - for those of us who earn outside the beltway.

“Spent a couple of days in DC being stunned by the opulent prosperity.”

Next time you see stats on government employee salaries and how much higher they are than the private sector, remember what you saw because that’s why. I am a federal civil servant and when my coworkers and I hear that info the first thing we say is that it must be nice to work in the DC area because no civil servants we know makes $$ like that. Had a guy I worked with just transfer there 2 months ago, got a 10% pay increase right off the bat.

Phil Robertson goes where few dare to tread.

I always felt the big support for Obamacare among young people was due to expensive to treat STDs.

When I was that age, nobody gave a rip about "health insurance"

I luvs me some Laura Ingraham and Sarah Palin. Smart, good-looking, and well-raised.

Maybe we ought to close the FCC and HUD and a couple of others and let those two work it all out head-to-head?
