    Great job Sharon…

    Sadly, it just keeps getting worse and worse in this country of ours.

    dayum, girl! this one ROCKS!

    …oh, and i’m sure you’re as disappointed in lampson and cuellar as i am. sad.

    Good job Sharon. There have been fewer Democrats in office. Now we must be selective and elect decent Democrats with integrity to office or we’ll see the list of corrupt Democrats grow. Merely getting anyone with the Democratic label won’t cut it. How fat their bank accounts are cannot be the litmus test for a “viable candidate.”

    I agree, Faith! I am far from a win at all costs Democrat. I don’t want any more corrupt Democrats hung around our necks. We need to all be vigilant in cleaning up this horrendous political mess and in accepting no less than impeccable ethics.

    Anon 9:54: Thank you for that link. Too bad those people don’t get something going on in their own bedrooms instead of worrying about what’s going on in everyone else’s. They might not be so twisted…
