” A sitting prez who speaks of bypassing due process to take guns is enough perspective for me. We have had as much gun control under him as all of Obamas years.”

Couple of years ago my friend’s brother went to the ER in the VA in a diabetic stupor. He was told to take a seat and wait to be called. A few minutes later he died, still in the seat, waiting to be called.

You shouldn’t freak out about a poor candidate losing a low turnout special election by a hair.

...and should know the truth about GWB’s septum and Barky’s anus.

Lately, it seems the former is in the latter.
