Sean Hannity said he was moving out of New York. There goes a ton of tax revenue for Cuomo, and several jobs lost.

I'll be gone for awhile. I'm going outside in the single-digit global warming climate to push the snow around. If I'm not back in an hour, have Obama Hillary NEVER MIND! Just send in the marines.

I think it was too cold here to get additional snow, we were spared that insult. Good luck, stay warm.

And here I had always thought panache was the result of dropping a heavy skillet or saucepan on your foot.

No fair!

Hey teach!!!! SAJ copied my homework before I could write it!

Not for nothing, but shouldn’t her asinine positions be the focus?

The rest, is just a distraction, that feeds into being able to deflect from them.

FWIW...If no women dyed their hair...there’d be no hairdressers...

Just a thought

are you ready to concede that we are pretty much doomed? there was a special election in VA YESTERDAY. YESTERDAY! and it wasn't entire counties, it was PARTs of counties, and people were confused about whether they were in the part that was involved in the election or not. And this helps tip the VA Senate to Dem control.

Since the detractors of Rick Perry called him “Governor Good Hair”, I think saying AbortionBarbie is a madeover woman is fair game. The reason this story is important is that her whole persona is “poor girl with a baby who made it through hard work and perserverance”, instead of 16 year old pregnant girl who got married and lived decently, then had an older man pay her way through school AND take care of her kids for 3 years. Every poor girl should have it so bad

If you were paying attention, you would have seen, that “xs just may be right about being doomed”. Several days back.

I am shocked you missed that.

I was waiting for the response..lol

as greg abbott said, if you can’t believe what she says, how can you trust her to govern?

I do not totally disagree with you.

I just think, once you get to Abortion Barbie, the point is made.

Making the argument obliquely, detracts from directly attacking her position, which is the source of her alleged credibility.....

The rest, just gives her defenders a way to deflect....rather than being forced to defend her idiocy...

She could abort a baby herself on national tv and her liberal defenders would still support her. Nothing we say will change that. I find it ironic that feminists will attack us for mentioning her looks, yet she is the one who had plastic surgery and dyed her hair - no one made her do that.
