And it could have been far worse, Peggy!

Imagine if he had actually instituted those Personal Investment Accounts with a plunging stock market?

Imagine how utterly destroyed the Party would be if he actually had pandered to the pro-Lifers and won a ban on all abortions and started arresting obstreticians?

Or if he had been able to shut down the public school system through his “voucher program”.

Imagine the chaos, Peggy!

…OK, citizens and soldiers… even given my bent as an olde sergeant to vent my visceral disgust in terms not respectful of endearment to the general public or tender ears… I just can’t accept “Blue Texan’s” deliberate use of the word a**hole in describing Nooner’s anal sphincter in the very most discussing colloquial terms…!

Clean up the vernacular “BT” or you’re on latrine duty…!

Olde soldier sends…
