They seem to stay one step ahead of Pennsylvania in the race for our cash.

Was the horse BLACK? Or BROWN? Did the vet call it names? " Hey glue ass." : "Take that pitbull chow" If so I think there should be a law against his actions and against his bigotry.

Nobody would be "under-served" is they weren't over-robbing the stores. The only way these stores will stay in business is with subsidies.

How is it that Dem can't connect the next move, cut spending. Instead their minds jump to raising taxes. Even more insane is to raise spending. Nothing like kicking the economy when it's down.

Imagine running John McCain in perpetuity. Throw in a little ACORN action and we end up with a one Party system. No thanks. Primaries are Party events, not state events.

How about taxing crack and heroin. While taxing tobacco does bring in some funding from the 40% who don't pay federal income taxes, Fast Eddie gets his percentage from the poor now. Those poor folks who roll their own are paying many times more taxes than a year ago and while this is a horrible and smelly addiction , Fast Eddie isn't having any problem kicking these folks while they are down.

I contacted SAS and FOAC. You may want to contact any other pro-gun organizations like the NRA and GOA to come to her support. We don't need a Virginia Tech incident here and an armed student body will prevent such incidences.

How dare he call himself a lifelong Republican. I wonder how Ridge voted. Limbaugh draws endless criticism from those who don't listen to him. This goes to prove the logic and facts he uses is too dangerous to trust to the sheeple of the Left.. They just may eventually see the light.

Does anybody lower the amount of food stamps they get if the kids are being fed 10 meals a week on the USDA PLUS food stamps. Pull these kids off their irresponsible parent or parents and put them in institutions for neglected kids and put them to work learning how to earn and spend a buck and what it takes to be a GOOD parent. Put an end to the subcultural programming of defeat and dependency.

"It's gotta go beyond the politics of either party." Has Ridge not heard of Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton? Does he find it offensive that a Conservative has enough backbone to stand up and defend his record while history is being rewritten. Keep talking and collecting the checks you castrato.
