MASSACHUSETTS LEADERS STAND TOGETHER TO SUPPORT VETERANS AND ACTIVE

[Mass]

MILITARY

Seems a good agreement to help people to find a good job. Nice to see that our senators involved in that and also that Max Cleland will be there.

Mittens will not be there? Does that mean that military people do not matter for Republicans or is he afraid to be seen with MA liberals?

1. Mittens is afraid to be seen advocating a program that works

and that helps veterans to get good jobs. Oh, and he doesn't care anymore about Massachusetts and hasn't for a long, long time.

Thanks gents! Nice, nice program. Hats off to all for this fine, fine work.

2. He's sending Barbie

So she can brush up on her governating skills. :eyes:

3. Yuck! That is going to be very awkward

I hope she doesn't stand next to Sens. Kennedy or Kerry. They would get Healey cooties.
