I knew it. I knew this thread was going to be full of "Comment Removed By Moderator" posts. Some FReepers are flat-out fricking idiots who shouldn't even own a computer, let alone posting on FR.

Wrong George. That quote was from the '88 Dem convention, referring to 41.Got it. Bet W or Laura or GHWB still attend.

Typing in all CAPS is considered to be Yelling.
And doing so in this thread is a sure fire way to bring the mods down on you.

Yep.
One wonders how Larry King will fill the void with now that his guests are down to Jimmy Carter and Carol Burnett.

Guess most of us were just raised better.
Speaking ill of the recently deceased is just rude. It is what people on DU do. We should behave better and apparently the mods agree with that.

I never cared for her or her politics. But we are all being gracious. May she rest well and may her family be at peace that she suffers no more. That type of cancer is a bad one.

Ann Richards vetoed a right-to-carry bill. Ann Richards supported the rights of violent criminals to prey on their victims.

Upon reading the vast majority of the messages posted here, I note once again the class and dignity conservatives show. When a notable Republican dies, liberals can hardly contain their glee.

"...but she was a Texan through and through."
She was a pure-T lefty bitch through and through. Class envy, quota queen, feminist...she was a Texan Hillary Clinton. Texas is better off.
To: fluffy tiger
"She ran nasty campaigns."
Yes she did, and the lionization of her here as a "real Texan" is an insult to Texans.

Guess most of us were just raised better. Guess I was raised to be honest and truthful, instead of hypocricial and superficially dishonest.

Class, tact... that's why you don't speak ill of the dead.

All the Houston stations have been playing it repeatedly too. Very tacky on their part just to zing the Bush family yet again. Richards was a colorful character. May she RIP.
