With the costume improvements you suggest he could be the symbol of the Ron Paul camp and assorted hangers-on.
Clinton and Willey did not know that her husband was dead when he accosted her. At least Kathleen wasn’t raped, unlike the 3 women I mentioned. Bob
Hi STAR and you all.
I had a fabulous time! Very difficult to describe. Nothing like seeing the candidates in person. Oh yeah, we watched the debate on the huge screen with a lot of TEA PRTY folks and that was a lot of fun, what with the hoots and hollers from supporters, but one group sorta got more silent when their candidate’s 911 crap was brought to light.
Got pictures and got to speak briefly with all the candidates who attended our TEA PARTY EXPRESS after the debate party: Romney, Perry, Bachmann, Newt and Herman Cain.
I love all of our awesome FLORIDA FReepers and we had a wonderful showing! We shoved our tables together and then went out for *wings* after the after party! I’m sure we’ll have pictures galore later.
More from me tomorrow..
I've lived in Arizona over 67 years. Up to about 12 to 15 years ago we never minded illegals because they were not a burden nor a problem. They were clean, kind, proud people who wouldn't take a hand out, they worked and worked hard. There were people who came here every years to do seasonal work and then went home, and the few who stayed here learned english and were so strict with their kids that our parents were always telling us to be like them. That changed a little over a decade ago (longer, much longer in California).
I'm a strong beliver in states right, I'm also a strong believer in live and let live. Texas has a right, granted by the Constitution, to determine how they choose to speand their tax dollars. The feds won't deport people, the courts give them rights, Texas just had a choice of let them pay in state tuition or let them go on the dole. They chose the former. Go look at he vote.
Wonderful!!
bttt
LOL!
Well, I’m glad you’re comfortable accepting the FDA’s word.
