The mask is off and your ideas to harass and control this country are repudiated. Your silver spoon fed life no longer has control over mine. Take a long walk off a short pier. Oh and shut up too.

The only good thing I can say about these two pr!cks is that they did such a thorough job of destroying their own legacies that they made Yeb Bush less popular than the Ebola virus among Republican voters.

Even then I knew he was only a speed bump. He was still better than Gore and Kerry. Absolutely no loyalty toward him. FUGBs.

They’ve confirmed my view that Hillary Clinton wasn’t running to continue the Obama legacy. She was running to continue the Bush legacy.

My mother did. We're from the Dallas area and he was well known as a great man and human being there. He was right about that "great sucking sound" too.
