3. Trust me, you don't want him to do his real job
Why we are paying a Republican operative is criminal because you know they will never reimburse a dime of the cost to do his little campaign stunts.

7. You're correct.
I'd rather pay him to spend the rest of his term chatting in coffee shops instead of doing his real job. It would be well-spent tax dollars.

16. i wonder if BuyBlue.org can add CROCS to their list?
Edited on Sat Nov-04-06 12:05 PM by yorkiemommie1
I suppose they would have to determine that CROCS has made contributions to the GOP.

edited to correct spelling.

14. i'm going to email them too

i bought another brand, called Cloggens, last winter. they are ALmost as good as CROCS but I'll buy them rather than support an openly RED company.

25. Crocs is a "small business" WTF?
Other than the coffee shop owner, the rest don't sound so small either.

5. You'd think with all his money he could buy some decent
glasses (bifocals) so that he wouldn't look like a stupid ass. But I guess I'd rather he looked like the stupid ass he is - so NO BIFOCALS for him!

12. Not to defend * in any way
but some people do have that problem. I don't need glasses except for reading and seeing a computer screen. But I need a different prescription for each of those, so my bifocals are only good for reading and computer work. This means that at work I'm often looking at people over the top of them. I've tried progressives (with essentially plain glass at the top) but they just don't work well for my situation. So I guess I end up at times looking like a stupid ass.

I will say though that, looking at those pictures, he doesn't appear to be using bifocals so he may not have my excuse.
