ReplyDeleteIt's coming, just give it a few more years.

ReplyDeleteI believe you. Chief Bush and vice chief, their warrant officers (Congress) including their mess officers (DoD, State, etc) were all Republicans, werent they?
That's why if I were a US voting man, I'd be or vote a Democrat to the White House.
