[Rhodes22-list] food for thought

[Brad Haslett]

Pete,

You truly are an asshole.  Herb said no such thing!

Fidelity to the wife?  Is that now a litmus test?  I personally sent
money in 06 to the Condi08 campaign.  She couldn't possibly have a
wife, or perhaps she could, what difference does it make?

Achievement in education?  Name one. Just one. Name a single success
that Obama achieved in education.  I'm not asking for a bushel basket
here Pete, just ONE!

Pray?  Don't bother.

Here's what you don't get.  The "rock" of the economy will just go
underground during a socialist administration. It lasted 40+ years in
China, who knows how long it will last in the US.

To quote my old friend from my Nashville days, "there are givers and
there are takers in the world".

Pete, "WTF do you offer the world?"
