My day after Thanksgiving message | 11/26/200 | Jim Robinson

YES!!! I always do that. Then send it back and make them pay for the postage. I always do that. After a while they will stop sending it for a short time, then they will start again. I want them to no they won’t get a dime until they stop supporting RINOS. Name names too.

My father doesn’t get to see his grandchildren much, about once a year, since my half-sister refuses to ever visit us in Tennessee. I’ve never seen either my (half)niece or nephew.

I'll never understand this kind of stuff. I have a brother who introduced himself to my friends as my half-brother. I gasped and asked him which half was missing. He never said it again.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Excellent list!

Well, it’s half because we share the same father, but we weren’t raised together (she is 12 years older than me), so it’s hard to consider her a full-fledged sibling. She grew up in CA and detested being forced by her mother as a teenager to come here to TN for the summer where she had no friends, no car and nowhere to go (though in hindsight, I absolutely sympathize with her misery when she was here, and eventually she refused to come here altogether - she last came with her late mother about 27 years ago). I haven’t seen her since her wedding over 18 years ago. It’s her choice, she could come if she wanted to, I just find it astonishing she hasn’t.

“Unfortunately he’ll get a pension for his treachery.”

Now here’s a thought. Why not have “means testing” for the house and senate in regards to pensions? If the critter has a net worth of 2 million or more, no pension. HA!!

McCain’s wife owns a business worth about 120 million ;-)

How about no pensions, period?

The only folks whom I think may be genuinely worthy of receiving Federal pensions are the poor bastards who return home from combat sans legs, arms, eyes, etc. or in pine boxes.

Dan and I shared a Dad and didn’t growup together but I saw him. Until they moved to Florida. Then it was only once a year. But he called me “Sissy” when he was a kid. My Dad reinforced the half-brother stuff. Dad was strange. The same as his Dad.

Brother, is THAT ever the truth!

[DJ MacWoW]

I agree with that. Congress seldom earns their pay let alone a pension. Soldiers earn every dime and more.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Sounds a little weird. My father didn’t emphasize anything either way.

I have no trouble with criticism but this has gone almost to the mob mentality and I refuse to believe these RINOS are more dangerous than these Dimocrats have destroying us right now.

Republicans are supposed to be on the side of Conservatives.

When Republicans aren't on our side, we have to spend time, energy, and other resources fighting them, which takes away time, energy, and resources that could be better spent fighting liberals.

When they aren't on our side and we are unable to defeat them, they do every bit as much damage as liberals - more government, more government waste and expense, and more government control.

Things like No Child Left Behind which was a pet project of Teddy Kennedy and was championed by RINOs like George W Bush and the RINOs in Congress and the RINOs succeeded in pushing it through. That is every bit as damaging to our cause as if No Child Left Behind was instead promoted under Obama and passed under the watch of Pelosi and Reid.

They may not be more dangerous than Democrats, but they take up our resources fighting them just the same as if they were Democrats and when they succeed at pushing a liberal agenda or liberal legislation, they do just as much damage as a Democrat.

My grandfather had 6 boys and 3 girls when his wife died. The orphanage took the young ones. He hired my Grandma, a widow, to keep house for him so he could get his kids back. They eventually married and had 2 more children, my Dad and Aunt. My Grandfather had grown children near but my Aunt says they never saw one another. I used to ask questions of my Dad but was told, “We don’t talk about family.” He left when I was 8. They were weird people. I never met my Grandfather as he died in 1944.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Doesn't sound too good.

[DJ MacWoW]

My Aunt is a normal, loving person who never understood. Go figure. Grandma loved him to distraction and never remarried. She died in 1970. It’s a puzzle I’ll never solve.

[bcsco]

I'm willing to bet at least half walk to the dark side.

Oh, I hope not. But, whatever comes, we must deal with it. And I'm gearing up.

[bcsco]

See ya later!

You bet. It's late, I got things done around the house, and found out my meeting for tomorrow night is now on Tuesday night. So I hope to get some things done on this ol' laptop tomorrow, and work on that letter of ours. Maybe I can have something to you later in the day. Have a good evening.

[fieldmarshaldj]

It seems a lot of our families have their puzzles, problems and other “darker” stuff, yours and mine are no exception.

[editor-surveyor]

No questions!

[DJ MacWoW]

Have a good evening.

And you too!

[DJ MacWoW]

Well it is a comfort to know that I'm not the only one with strange relatives. :-)

Goodnight!
