She listened to a Launtenberg speech yesterday..

[Dad yer funny]

I dunno,saw her post to someone last night that she had a bad headache all day

[dfergu7477]

And, now Durbin? What cipher. I am sickened that he comes from my state.

[Txsleuth]

Oh, dear---Dick Durbin---I wonder if he will pull out his pictures of the "negroes" that he talked about yesterday, and how the Civil Rights Act was filibustered....

THAT was an abomination, his speech yesterday!

We are very happy back here in SD about his new situation too.

[ken5050]

[maxter]

Okay, I cannot keep up with this thread and I want to be enlightened by the marvelous insight of all my fellow freepers. Since typing this, I have just missed 40 more insightful messages. Slow down, will ya?

[LisaFab]

Now Durbin is dumping on Pat Robertson. Are he and Dobson in the US Senate?

[Just A Nobody]

I heard a reference to Al Queda also..

In ref. to Pat Robertson's statement regarding judiciary being more dangerous than

[concerned about politics]

Oh joy, here's Dick Dastardly back for more...

The name Dick suites him. His mother made a good choice.

[ken5050]
