Nov 2012

I have not said ONE word this entire election cycle as I have been working on other issues....important issues like my health and making lifestyle changes, you know getting my act together! I preferred to keep an even keel and stay out of the fray....better for my state of mind, and I am so much better for it too, not near as angry as I used to be!

Well, this post has so much that I agree with that I could hold back no longer; WHAT A HOME RUN THIS IS, johnlucas!

You are so right-on it brings tears to my eyes: THANK YOU! The last four paragraphs should be required reading here on DU.

I expressed back in February that I had no fear that any one of the republicans running had a chance against the President and nothing has conspired since then to make me change my mind.

L A N D S L I D E.......stick that in your ear mister romney!
