narrowjay0, this is a UNITED STATES SENATOR you're talking about. I dare you to go to the halls of Congress and tell him to his face that "there are so many lies in this". I fucking DARE you.
Then again, you caN'T prove him wrong anyway. You're just another fiscal libertarian who only cares about waking up in a MTV Cribs/MC Hammer mansion one day. You're just another asshole who assumes -- if we cut the budget of every essential social service -- that you'll supposedly get that mansion. WRONG!

Are you a Democrat disappointed in Obama? Hate neocons?
Kelly's right.
Help us do something about it.
Vote for Ron Paul in the GOP primaries, and kick the warmongering neocons out of the race.
Do you really want to run the risk of a Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum or Newt Gingrich for president? Another war? No more Neocons. Show them the majority of america is sick of them.
We welcome your help. Please consider it.
Search "Blue Republican" if you want to know the game plan. Interesting stuff.

narrowjay0, this is a UNITED STATES SENATOR you're talking about. I dare you to go to the halls of Congress and tell him to his face that "there are so many lies in this". I fucking DARE you.
Then again, you caN'T prove him wrong anyway. You're just another fiscal libertarian who only cares about waking up in a MTV Cribs/MC Hammer mansion one day. You're just another asshole who assumes -- if we cut the budget of every essential social service -- that you'll supposedly get that mansion. WRONG!

Are you a Democrat disappointed in Obama? Hate neocons?
Kelly's right.
Help us do something about it.
Vote for Ron Paul in the GOP primaries, and kick the warmongering neocons out of the race.
Do you really want to run the risk of a Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum or Newt Gingrich for president? Another war? No more Neocons. Show them the majority of america is sick of them.
We welcome your help. Please consider it.
Search "Blue Republican" if you want to know the game plan. Interesting stuff.
