GOP will cave, not a complete set among the lot of them. More deflated then a Patriot game ball.
LOL. Funny because it is true.
Whiskey always makes me feel...irascible.
(bows sweepingly)
Thanks, m'FRiend! (whew, no thrown tomatoes...)
Check out “Man Seeking Woman” on FXX, Wednesday at 10.
ok then ; ) A+++
Obama has been strutting his stuff
Congress said enough is enough.
They invited Bibi
Offending the Me-me
Nice to see the GOP call O’s bluff.
FRee Republic is the gathering spot of choice for irascible old coots! They are all over the 2016 presidential election threads.
I’ll check it out.
My first official 2016 prediction: Sarah Palin will primary, or otherwise run against Lisa Murkowski for the Alaska Senate seat. The seat Lisa’s daddy gave her in in 2003, the one Palin thought she should have got. This will be the last battle in the long war of the two families.
Indeed.
good one! A++++
that is for dang sure! A+++
Hey, I resemble that remark.
saw the thread where Byron York said she bombed in IA. of course the deranged defenders on FR won’t hear of that. Maybe she can still win up there, but nationwide ofc, no way.
Yea, but I didn’t use the WFTD.
Irascible Obama has been strutting his stuff.
Somehow it got cut.
shows how observant I am! LOL! A+++ and an extra + for honesty!
I had to click it to see which irascible old coot it was about! There are so many.
It’s been a long time since someone used the white font of death. That’s worth an A+ right there!
I love that prediction. Lisa did not deserve that seat.
If you are referring to Sarah, I watched her speech and was VERY disappointed. I've been a big fan and defender of her in the past, and I thought her speech in IA was awful. It was nothing more than a litany of sarcastic quips against the Dems -- no new, or defendable, ideas.
Carly Fiorina (who nobody seems to like) was a far better speaker, although I could give her a few tips on delivery. I missed Scott Walker's speech, although he seems to be getting great press from it. Personally, most of us in Wisconsin want him to stay here and finish the job we elected him to do. The nation can have Walker in 2020 or 2024. Everything the press says that they were surprised about Walker, we already know. We love him here.
I was surprised at Gov. Perry. He was terrific. I've always been lukewarm about him before, but I was very impressed with him on Sat. I wish he'd dump the horn rimmed glasses. You can't see his eyes which raises the "trust" factor. He's a good looking guy and rimless, or wire-rimmed glasses would make him look more believable.
