It's called living in the real world. <br /><br />The fact that the Seals Drones are attacking Dold for this is just proof that they are trying to obscure the fact that SEALS DOESN'T LIVE HERE AND CAN'T EVEN VOTE FOR HIMSELF!!!!<br /><br />The louder the Seals Drones rant, the more desperate they are to cover Seals' serial carpetbagging congressional runs.<br /><br />It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out...Your average Seals voter could probably even connect the dots.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194608964536238003.post-20824614034511781882010-09-29T20:17:12.401-05:002010-09-29T20:17:12.401-05:00Hey Carl -

They aren't backing the pup, and are probably sick of seeing him as he's been to 6 endorsement sessions with them in the last 40 months. <br /><br />catlady continues to show how stupid she is taking dold to task for not living in the district even though pup is a 9th districter. Even more hilarious is the fact that she now calls herself e10. In baseball an error is scored e and then the players number so e5 is error on the thirdbasemen. E10 is therefore error 10 and I for once agree with her that she is the 10th district error. <br /><br />FOKLAEAPSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194608964536238003.post-78212555717369358062010-09-28T21:07:01.074-05:002010-09-28T21:07:01.074-05:00Take the Meds Carl.....take the Meds.Take the Meds Carl.....take the Meds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194608964536238003.post-4663824736700842292010-09-28T20:27:13.917-05:002010-09-28T20:27:13.917-05:00You know, I'm so amused by the multiple attemp...You know, I'm so amused by the multiple attempts of the troll who wants desperately to leave a link to Ellen's Blog in comments, that I'm going to just let all three attempts sit there as a testament to their IQ.

Right now, the Federal government doesn't really know your net assets, it just knows your annual income. <br /><br />So what, you might ask, if the Feds know my new assets? Well, I think this is serious because once the feds know your wealth, it won't be too much longer until the Obama-like figure determines that people with assets over $1million can afford a little more to fund out-of-control government spending. <br /><br />If you own your home, have saved a nest egg, own some cars and perhaps have a nice job, we are not too far away (if Seals has his way) until you are taxed on your income, taxed on your wealth, denied social security benefits and then taxed on all that is left after you die. For what? Record out of control spending. It is time to stop this madness before it is too late. <br /><br />Don't be fooled by Seals' seemingly innocuous claim that the wealthy can afford to go without social security benefits. Think of the implications of the (un?)intended consequences.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
