My response was, "Yeah, they've been there for years, and that explains our rectal bleeding." She literally sputtered. (I'm pretty much through with trying to make nice.)

I *was* going to say something about trying to steal wallets, but no way I could match your response, so I won't even try.

|
Watch out for folks who pat you on your back...they're probably looking for a soft spot to stick the knife...
You learn a lot about life from uncles who are traveling salesmen...

21. The one thing that's been consistent about the GOP is they have NEVER been behind the middle class |
|
The GOP started out as a party of progressives, but even then they were still the party of the 1%. They always have been and probably always will be. It's really the only thing that's been consistent about their ideology.
