I suspect the actual plan was hyperbole. But I think it is perfectly legitimate Squinch May 2013 #44

IMO, that smacks of meanness and pettiness, premium May 2013 #47

Hmm, people need to be shown the error of thier ways... Puzzledtraveller May 2013 #14

Frightening is the fact that most Dems do not realize Repubs play politics like a blood sport LonePirate May 2013 #32

This is a fact. Those guys from OK worked hard to prevent aid from getting to disaster victims. Squinch May 2013 #48

You seem to be misinterpreting everything I'm saying. kentauros May 2013 #69

Ah. Then I did misunderstand you. Squinch May 2013 #73
