Help me

I'm sitting at a bar and the guy next to me just told me that he had a hard time figuring out who the Republican who were running for judges were because he always votes GOP. Btw he has some medical issues, gets some government help, and he gets his news from Fox.

Good God in BUTTER what is the matter w/ people?

Btw as a kid I used to live next door to the Republican Governor of PA's brother and Gov. Ray Shafer was as fine of man as you would ever meet. And he was a Republican too.

They’ve lost their way, haven’t they? I don’t think they are retrievable as long as faux exists. They don’t know that their “government help” is not long for the world if the pukes stay in power.

But he thinks voting R is the right thing to do.

I have decided to make nice.

Come on BLUE WAVE. Wash America clean.

He probably gets all his analytical thinking done for him by Rush Limbaugh and crew

Only 17% of the time they have some fact on is it true.

The loss of the fairness doctrine. along with citizens United, HAVA, and the planned decline in public education has been toxic to the country I love.

In 1981 Reagan took the solar panels off the White House and some people applauded that ignorance as being "strong Americans."
