No, but she did say she wasnt registered to any octoberlib Nov 2017 #3

It sounds like she is super-conservative because one of the comments she got on that photo LisaL Nov 2017 #32

Possible, but the fact that she contemporaneously documented in 2010 is interesting. VermontKevin Nov 2017 #39

Sounds like she expected Al to do the same thing as the republican she took the photo with did, LisaL Nov 2017 #54

I note that the Facebook interaction with her sister in 2010 where she describes the incident VermontKevin Nov 2017 #57

How did she describe it? Did she say he groped her? brush Nov 2017 #88

She told her mother, father, husband at the time, and wrote about it on Facebook too. VermontKevin Nov 2017 #68

As long as its on facebook, you have to believe it. LisaL Nov 2017 #74

Well, telling her sister about it on Facebook in 2010 is interesting. VermontKevin Nov 2017 #76

She got a reaction from the photo that they were too close to each other, not two bibles apart. LisaL Nov 2017 #85

Yep. It looks like they're joking about how close together they are. kcr Nov 2017 #114
