254. "Do what you want" is pretty plain. Don't behave like an aggrieved and put upon voter

Fri Dec 27, 2013, 10:52 AM

Dec 2013

because some truths--like the simple, brutal, "Get Off That Horse" truth that Warren isn't running, she's said so two dozen or more times, she hasn't done ANY networking, and she has "pledged" to serve out her term (which ends in 2018)--are self-evident.

The Hillary vs. Elizabeth (or go on and use the diminutive "Betsy"--like her siblings do, whatever...because that's what's being done with this repeated "cage match" or "girl fight" imagery) mud-wrestling articles that are posted on fringe websites are continuously dragged up here for the mandatory 'frothing at the mouth' games over something that just ain't gonna happen.

If anything is "divisive" you might want to start with the OP, instead of crabbing at me for possessing situational awareness of the intentions (or lack thereof) of my Senior Senator.
