2. Do you suppose he really believes this?

She said, squenching her nose up and cocking her head to the side looking confused. I don't see how it's possible that anyone with more than 35 brain cells can say this out loud. The man lives in a university town, a very intelligent town, my home town. No, he can't possibly believe this, but then how can he have the nerve to say it? It's hurting my brain to think about it.

3. They lie like they breathe. Naturally.

4. Yes, but how could you do that to yourself? I'm pretty naive I know, but...?

Do they just have no sense of self worth or pride? Republicans really confuse me.

Apparently any fool can be a senator, just finding that out.
