And you have to admire that I actually had the right call,,,the polling data showed Wisconsin was trending Romney ; I was more correct in that assessment than BigTex was when he opined that it was impossible for Romney to win the nomination !

BigKotex has been trending dumb for more than a decade.

Still he can't come up with a single accomplishment. Just sad.

CBJ7 thinks "foaming at the mouth" is an accomplishment. Maybe for a provider, but not for the POTUS.

They demand so little from Dear Leader and its looks like he's delivered!

books cant vote no more than Kelly Blue Book can buy a car

Did this sound a lot more clever in your head? There had to be something else you wanted to write or did you just feel you had to write something? Bikes can't vote, dogs can't vote, fish can't vote, houses can't vote...nope! It doesn't get any smarter sounding with age.
