Have you ever seen a happy democrat? I do not think I have.

[cubreporter]

So do I. It speaks volumes about the peace this man has in his heart and in his life in spite of the weight that is on his shoulders.

[ODC-GIRL]

Yay, an early dose! Thanks Gretchen. Great pics, great quotes.

Fundraiser

That's all for now. More may come up later -- please, anyone, feel free to post them.

I'm so glad you're going to see him tomorrow...
Wonderful!

"After he returns to Walter Reed and gets his stitches out... he's been cleared to return to Iraq....sigh!.....he'll have less than 1 month there"

Will he have less than one month in Iraq, or in the DC area?

[cubreporter]

What a special photo. God love them all!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Thanks GEE!!!
Cute first pic!!
Ms.B

[GretchenEE]

Thanks, ODC-Girl.

I loved that first quote especially. ;-)

It's cool that he does the thumbs up so often, accompanied by that big old smile.

[GretchenEE]

I had a hard time choosing the first pic - this one almost made it.

***It speaks volumes about the peace this man has in his heart and in his life in spite of the weight that is on his shoulders***

It sure does. I don't think I've "seen" you here before . . . Welcome!

[cubreporter]

That's such a good point. We have spoken about that before. They all seem so suspect, grim faced, full of anger and hate inside AND...it shows OUTSIDE. They sure are an unhappy and sour group of people that I am sure glad I dont' have to be around on a daily basis.

No matter the burden...no matter how much the left attacks President Bush...he has peace within and by God it shows!!!

[homemom]

Hi Ms.B--

Are you thawed out??? :-)

Have a good day? I'll be back later this evening.

[mystery-ak]

He's going back t Iraq...they are scheduled to pull out of Iraq in late April...then 2 weeks in Kuwait and then Fort Campbell....he'll get his stitches out the 12th and as soon as they can arrange to get him to Iraq, he's gone.

[cubreporter]

Thanks for the welcome. I have been a freeper since before GWB's victory. :)

[MS.BEHAVIN]

hey Nebraska..
Yes, I had a good day..
You headin' out already?
Ms.B

[mystery-ak]

Ah, penguins...(i can say that because I had nuns for 12 YEARS)

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Same here..
They were built like linebackers,
and used to rap our knuckles with a ruler!
