26. I should contact him
and tell him that I've got several clocks that haven't been cleaned in a while. They need to be taken down from the wall and dusted good so that, hopefully, they'll start keeping good time again. I should ask him what they'll charge for the service and if they also do windows. Everybody should call and write with similar remarks! :evilgrin:

32. So tell him
that your clock isn't all that dirty but it could stand to have some new batteries installed if he wouldn't mind, since it hasn't been keeping very good time of late.

38. We could mail clocks to him for cleaning
On second thought, the clocks never make it through mail room security. The secret service would probably blow them up because they'd suspect them to be bombs. (Remember the recent flashlight incident?)

Hi Agent Mike! :hi:

2. I called his office
gave them my address, told them I dissented against Alito, and asked when I could expect him to come and clean our clock.

He is being pushed or threathened - maybe they are saying they will out him from his closet.

16. not much difference between him and john mccain
except mccain voted against making martin luther king day a national holiday, took S&L bribes, and would not defend his wife or kid against rove and company pissing all over his family

they have no character

17. Grahm was the one who said 'bigot' then Mrs. A wept. He was implying
Kennedy said he was a bigot. Ted did not use that term

23. i know that. but she didn't cry when kennedy said it. she cried
when graham mentioned it. so it wasn't uncle ted who made her cry. it was graham. of course, that crying was very nicely timed.

11. Sounds to me he just threw down the gauntlet
Democrats should not let him get away with this... They talk about partisan, but what are they doing, all of them are voting the party line as usual, they are much more partisan than we are...

22. he's an idiot
What interesting about Graham is that he keeps forgetting how my retires move here from other states. SC gives all these tax breaks for retires and the holy rollers are slowly but surely losing political power.

We saw Lindsey Graham eating with an older lady at our local Arby's a few months ago. He looked so small and was trying not to be noticed. We didn't bother him because he should be allowed to eat and not be pestered. I guess that was wrong of me to think that way. Now if I get to see him again I will introduce myself and tell him why he's wrong. He wants America to think we are all bible thumpers down here and that isn't the case. He knows it too and I bet he will start kissing our liberal ass in 6 years to keep him job. Going to be too late.

That is curious. In fact, I find quite a few of your statements troubling.

37. even moderation begs for a clock to be sent for cleaning - REALLY!
I've seen that moderation at times too ... but now, I'm sending him MY clock to get cleaned -- he can't throw down THAT gauntlet with me and not expect me to take him up on it! oh yea, and it will also keep his a$$ busy while his mouth is moving

41. He's been good on ONE thing
He is just awesome on the matter of prisoner abuse. I admire him on that.

That makes me hate him all the more when he is so bad on everything else.
