At Christmas Parade today, Republican Congressman was booed
I attended a Celebrate the Season/Light up Night...beginning of shopping season parade, in the town near where I live.

Our congressman Tim Murphy (jerk) was in the parade and when the announcer said his name, a fair amount of people booed. I thought that was really kind of funny and very telling. I also found myself talking to the fellow standing next to me and it turns out he is a republican who is really fed up with the GOP and the war.

So clearly the mood has changed...

The other republican in the parade was a state senator whose son is being investigated in the death of another young man, his name is Bob Regola and the guy running the parade had to keep telling them to stop throwing candy so close to their car because it was luring too many young children too close to the vehicle....dumb and callous republicans.

I hope they nail him for using his office staff as campaign workers. What a maroon...

5. And why would Foley's party want to lure kids to their car.
Were they boiled lollies they were throwing?
