Well Mitt... I'm tempted

[FirstChair]

Not a good night for Obama and the Dems last night. The traditional marriage amendment in NC won by a wide margin, 20.8 percent of Democrats expressed "no preference" in the Democratic presidential primary where Obama ran unopposed.

In Wisconsin Tom Barrett crushed his heavily union backed opponent 58/34 and will face Scott Walker who already beat him once and received more votes than both Democrats.

The biggest insult? A prison inmate came within 20 points of beating Obama in West Virginia. Obama doesn't stand a chance in WV anyway, but how embarrassing.

Well that's a riot... and in a federal prison too, much better treatment I hear than state prisons. Got to hand it to him I guess. Voting for him not because they want him, but votes of protest sends the message loud and clear to Obama's camp.

Which, along with the marriage amendment vote in NC is probably why he announced his de-evolution to his 1996 position today.

By the way, welcome to our little 'family.' Like all families we have our differences but we'll try not to get any mud on you.

Thanks speechlesstx... Glad to be here even when the fireworks start! It is stimulating and thought provoking. Wondering (answer if you want to) how your username came about, because I’m not seeing you have a problem holding your own, excon either, all of you for that matter. Lol! Glad to be here and since I'm a female I might lean a little more on the emotional side now and then yet realizing we need a balance of all appeals…logical, ethical and emotional in finding which appeals to us individually on a particular subject and what we can agree on collectively. I do see a meeting of the minds and hearts as being obtainable. We can always agree to disagree as well.

Oh, and I'm a Texan. :)

And FirstChair? That sounds musical...

Hello again, Steve:

In all these years, I did not know that about you. You're really a warm sort of Texan, aren't you? Ok, I'll stop beating you in politics so badly. Baseball too.

That's because no one asked. Dude, I told you a long time ago we would enjoy sitting down and having a cold brewski together.

P.S. We're tied again. Just got to get my pitching up to speed.

I love it, love it! I too get speechless at times and am in awe. Thank you for sharing the meaning of speechlesstx. I kind of thought you were a Texan. Boy howdy, do tell!

This is most likely going to get mixed views and reviews. About 'FirstChair' OK, here goes... I believe we live to die and we die to live and all the living in between should have a higher purpose to life. I know there is a life after earth life. I know there are kingdoms of worlds beyond and one of those kingdoms is called, the Celestial Kingdom. In this kingdom, families can be together forever. I believe it is possible to have an eternal marriage in the next life, to be with an eternal companion and become an eternal family. I also believe in the principle of sharing my eternal companion with spirit sisters because of our sisterly love, that if there are sisters who have not an eternal companion, I would be willing to share my eternal companion of whom I am sealed to, so that they too can know the fullness of love and their creation. I would love to be in the “FirstChair” of his wives.

So first chair you are morman or at least are influenced by mormon doctrine so a companion of mitty

No judgment here, you have a purpose and you know what you want and that's to be admired.

By the way, this month's jobs reports reveals that more people went on disability than got new jobs.

Yep, things are looking up.

[tomder55]

And people are going on disability ;not because they are disabled ;but because their extended unemployment benefits have ended .
We are swiftly creating another permanent dependency class.
