It seems some things never change!!
Let me guess...
The Brd. city council rejected a proposal by Fred Larson to build a gazillion square foot manufacturing facility for making can coolers.
Good one, trip!
Or else his idea was stolen and produced for pennies overseas.
I think Romney and Bain sold it
after bankrupting the company of its assets,. Or was that some other company?
Obama 2012
Romney, the October surprise! 1040s!
Wrong. It is all President
Wrong. It is all President Bush's fault and don't ever forget it.
Now, I've got to look at my empty chair.
F&B
Just where did they put all those trout back in your day??
BTW A classic is on AMC now. The Republican The democrat & the Crow Wing dflers

Joke of the day. Somewhere in kenya a village is missing its Idiot.
Careful there OFB,
when the truth is spoken the left goes nuts and southie ,snow, che, eyolf and the anonymous Democrat Candidates (Mac and others) really step up the personal attacks.
Well, OK, snow isn't really anonymous, I guess.
Best political joke of 2012
ROMNEY: Believe in America,
But stash your cash overseas!
Obama 2012
Romney 1040
Best political joke of 2012
Obama fooling southie and 100 million other people. A criminal conspiracy that should have been investigated and the perpetuaters sent to prison for their fraudulant "ponzi" scheme .
Tis sad, but true
It really is sad that many people voted for Pres. Obama thinking it would help race relations in this country.
They are saying they got caught up in the excitement.
I saw some interviewed on TV and also the statement of
Artur Davis among others.
I'm not getting the obsession with cash overseas.
Do you not think that John Kerry doesn't and didn't have cash overseas? John Edwards - cash overseas?
President Clinton - cash overseas?
I bet Harry Reid has cash overseas.
Jon Corzine - cash overseas - that MF Global money went some where.
People did not vote to help race relations!
Why would you ever think that? Were they in dire straits?
They voted to improve the economy that _______ destroyed.
And it is getting better. Even Romney admitted that. And they voted to improve our standing in the world. And that has happened. In addition to the death of bin Laden, the Iraq War is over, and next month there will be a huge draw down in troops from Afghanistan.
They all have cash overseas, but the GOP nominee is trying to pretend it is a non-issue along with his other investments. And I can't help but feel that his church would be astonished at what he has invested in.
People did not vote to help race relations!
Obviously not the left. They and Obama have used this subject to divide this nation to the point of collapse. It shocks me that an ex-teacher would promote this kind of stuff but then I remember the union influence and the personal greed that most union people celibrate.
"She's got her's" as eyolf would say.
Have a nice night southie, lots of people are still paying for it.
People voted for:
-Hope and change
-Good paying jobs we can all count on
-Keeping their house from foreclosure
-Putting gas in the tank ...remember that
Anyone see the seven state average price for gas today?
Yes We Can!
