tendencies. She is a dangerous person who is so sheltered she doesn't realize she is openly confessing to being mentally unstable. I would not want to be near someone like her. She cares about absolutely no one but herself.

for his wealth because he hasn't been directly involved in Facebook for several years.

His 10 years of US citizenship were definitely worth it for the $2 billion he made (possibly more following the Facebook IPO).

6. I hate that "50% of the country...bla, bla, bla" talking point...

Why do they let that go without rebuttal? Every damn time. Of course, its a lie. That statistic includes all the children in the US, the elderly on SS, the disabled, etc, etc. They should be prepared to swat that down fast...and so should we.

9. I'm sure they think that even little children are dead weight and need to go shovel coal in a mine

and don't need a public education. They only care about the unborn. After that, it's the law of the jungle and survival of the fiittest for them.

1. MANY people on food stamps are working these days because they are receiving slave wages.

2. If she's a so called "conservative", how pray-tell do you BEGIN to balance the deficit and budget that is so massive and big on the backs of those that are poor and don't have any wealth or income, but allow the wealthy and corporations that have every single year taken more and more of the income and wealth pie in this country, to not pay taxes. The very fact that she is OPENLY arguing for this is simply shocking to me. There is absolutely NO WAY that this country will ever balance the budget and eliminate the deficit with what she proposes. Her policies would create a feudal hell hole in this country. Look at the historical tax rates that the wealthy and corporations paid when we did not have such deficits.

She is such a disgusting pile of trash.

I swear, RW mental illness exemplified by this raving Heidi disgrace to the human race has to reach some tipping point eventually. It's way overdue.
