Just as an aside a long time ago in a middle class neighborhood in N. W. PA our
next door neighbor's brother was governor ..... he was nice, played w/the kids,
liberal, and a republican too ..... his name was Ray Shafer and he would have no
home in the republican party today. They really are a freak show.

whom most Democratic politicians avoided. This could improve her support from some otherwise apolitical people, in addition to tea baggers.

She was perfectly right about Justina. When she begins to run on this, I hope we aren't stupid enough to take a knee-jerk position in favor of the government grabbing children without due process -- just because it's the opposite of the position she's taken.

and I continually wondered, often out loud (and on here!) why we on the left did not support that child and her family, regardless of Dad's politics. He just took his fight to anyone who would listen...but that's another thread.

was SO bullshit! I don't know a whole lot about mitochondrial disease, but my nursing knowledge and "momsense" kicked in right away. It wasn't hard to see that the judge was colluding with the hospital, and when I researched and read about other cases it became quite clear that it was the hospital that was guilty of medical abuse. I am not snowed by the "Harvard medical degree" nonsense either...my brother has one, and much as I love him, I know he is as fallible as any other human.

I'm guessing the idea was to get the public to know the candidates, but instead they just kept making fools of themselves.

Looking at each eye I see crazy evil in the eye on my left & the eye on my right just displays pure excitement & thrill with the evil eye.

This left/right eye gazing shows the sinister evil wheels turning in the left side eye & the right side eye shows excitement & thrill with the evil satanic plan being batted between the left & right sides of her brain.

Faces of the criminally insane show this same pattern.

But we already knew that.

I doubt she will amount to anything higher than just another failed Republican nominee candidate. The GOP doesn't appear to be ready to nominate a woman (or a minority) yet.

but I can remember reading that she was under Federal investigation for something and that an agreement was reached where they wouldn't prosecute her if she agreed not to run again. Also read that this is a common practice with elected officials charged with wrongdoing. Anyone remember this...?

It will show the total lack of depth on the bench of the GOP.
