With enough money you can get on any top 10 list, I guess.
Charlie looks great! Beware the talking back! When we got a new puppy last year, we thought it odd that a mastiff would “cry” or “whistle” but assumed she would outgrow it. She never did! She whines to go out, whines to come in, whines when she wants attention, and sometimes whines for no reason at all! So much for being the big slient type!

Hmm, good question. I supposed the idealist in me wants to think that for the most part, most of those on the list are fairly honest, with only occasional rigging. It’s hard to know though.
I guess I can only speak for me and say I’ve never taken money for my vote for anything. 🙂

I know you will never take money for your vote but by the time you reach the voting booth, the big money to secure the list of candidates has already been spent. We don’t live in a democracy.

Romney the RINO was the presumptive Republican Presidential nominee because he had the money and more importantly, he could be relied upon to deliver lucrative political favors to his big money contributors just as Barack Hussien Obama has done. One candidate chose not to enter the primaries because she was unwilling to deliver the lucrative political favors in return for big money contributions. Now Romney the RINO has discovered that the big money contributions can not guarantee him the nomination and may be not even a win in his birth state, much less the Presidency. While Romney the RINO will no doubt defeat the last of the Pigmy Pachyderms who have been pestering him, he is now exhausted and his image grievously wounded. Soon the Great White Huntress, who once hunted the herds of Wholly RINOs of the North and has been patiently watching from her lair overlooking the frozen lake, will step onto the field to slay the RINO with her RINO rifle. (how much you bet she has a semiautomatic Barrett .50 BMG?)

I would like to see a poor everyday American with Common Sense become President one day. Imagine the possibilities if real American Patriots had a shot at the White House!

Well she used to be lower middle class, and the frivolous ethics charges did drive her to the brink of bankruptcy, so perhaps we should not dismiss Governor Palin because she has managed to dig her family out of potential poverty to become a multimillionaire?

Thank goodness that after yesterday, we continue with the fight to unseat Romney – the chosen of the ruling corporate class.
