Too late Nelson. You’re from my state and your lame ass is outta there in 2012. Bye bye Benny boy.
WHAT AN ASSHOL3!!!!
You can’t serve two masters, Ben. You chose poorly.
Wow, another DEMONcRAT profile-in-courage. NOT!!
This turd doesn’t deserve a a post here.
Of course he did, and he’s not up till 2012... hoping to put some distance there...
Depose them all. Satan will know his own.
