Secret Agent legislator! Their childhood dreams have come true. Finally, subterfuge and underhanded dealings are in their purview. "You let the wrong word slip, While kissing persuasive lips, The odds are you won't pass the bill tomorrow."

If it is a good bill and their constituents want it, why the hurry? Why not ASK the constituents, or at least let them read the bill on their own.

Rupublicans lost elections because they promise to put people back to work . . . 51% of the voters said to heck with that and voted Democrat to get handouts from Santa Claus.

Bubba's plan - Keep kids in failing school, keep them ignorant, and keep them in poverty, and they will always vote for democrats.

I'm about to go Democrat. I need a vacation. Paid for, of course, by YOU!
