And what do they mean by "significant changes"?

"Earlier Gallup asked if voters would favor 'Cutting spending for programs other than defense, Social Security and Medicare.' 72% of R said yes. Only 13% favored defense spending alone. Gallup could have asked if the respondents if they favored 'cuts' in Social Security and Medicare rather than 'significant changes'.”

Yeah, I'm wary of the wording, too.

Sheesh - there goes another one.

I remember the whole Luke and Laura thing, too. So many people I knew fell into it head first.

Beautiful!

And I love the kitty in there, too!

This could be a Christmas card, as well. VERY original!

You did good, samplegirl. At one of those moments when we all really needed it.

Damn.

Just heartbreaking.

The legacy of their work will have to speak for them both, now. Cuz that's all we've got left.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
