*Original Caption from Yahoo pics had Pombo as a (D) - I corrected it to (R). ;)

This is yet more evidence of the power of love. Hopefully that guy will come around.

3. This made my eyes well up. Maybe America CAN heal.

[EST]

6. Maybe it has already begun to, since the references are to

Pombo (D-Tracy)

4. This is what America looks like!! United not Divided!!

If we don't get rid of the * cabal we will never be a United country again...

5. The world needs more of that.

BTW, Pombo is an R...an extreme R.

Thanks for the post, k & r.

[Kadie]

7. Yep. Pombo is an extreme R. Thanks for pointing that out.

I missed the typo when I copied over the caption. I was so taken by the photo. I will go back in a bit and see if they have corrected it.

12. I hope you change Pombo's "D" to an "R" in your 1st and 3rd captions.

That man is a vile POS.

There's still time to make that edit. Please? :)

[Kadie]

15. Changed it.

8. Very not-what-I-expected... and very gives-me-hope.

wonderful.

9. OMG....

...the pic of McCaffrey and Mizener hugging brought tears to my eyes.

:cry:

I have a son. He was in the service. Thankfully, it was during peace time ~~ while Clinton was in office ~~ and he came back to me safe and sound. I cannot even begin to imagine the pain I would suffer until the day I died if he were killed in Iraq. I cannot find the words to express how I feel, it just tears me up to see parents with pictures of their beautiful children that Bush used as cannon fodder without a thought or a care. His lies took these children out of the lives of their parents, families and loved one. May George Bush rot in hell for all eternity for what he has done.

[davidinalameda]

18. wow

[Fleshdancer]

19. Such a heartbreaking thing to have in common

:(

[zbdent]

20. Makes me believe that Pombo realized that

there were cameras around, and if he smacked down McCaffrey, he would really be in bad shape ...

so he acted like a real human being ...

Sorry, it's the tinfoil in my hair ...

21. Deeply moving...

End this wretched war, NOW!

That's the shame of this administration.
