LMAO.
I wish more Democrats would call it like they see it. Even though I hate money in politics, I think I might make a small donations to Hastings to show my support.

Unfortunately, after watching the video IDemo posted to me, I have to concede crazy to Idaho.

(7,658 posts)I have to agree. Since 1994 we have elected some of the most ignorant, flat-earth politicians ever and for that to happen then most of the citizens but favor them. Texas has become the most regressive state in the nation and that is saying a lot.

(51,308 posts)I don't care about this Texas thing. What a bunch of little boys.
Get to work for America assholes.
Alcee then goes on to say (the next day), "I don't like Florida that much either."
What an idiot.
They all are.
