If you scan the different venues you will see several who comment daily about political items that get response from which ever side they post for. Now the majority of posters are just the average citizen venting his feelings pro or con. My gripe is the pro who is in their planting questionable posts who either are not true or exaggerated. by pro I mean someone whose hidden agenda is to fatten his or her own pocketbook! And the average reader seldom knows who these people are. I can think of one on face book who's constant posts are right out of the repuke talking points fort ther day and they are consistantly against the president. In fact my estimate is 90% of one person's post is at least that.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is maneuvering behind the scenes to defeat a conservative plan aimed at restricting earmarks, setting up a high-stakes showdown that pits the GOP leader and his “Old Bull” allies against Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) and a new breed of conservative senators.
so I am making sure he reads this as he and she both read everythingh I post in here!
