Still can't resist getting jabs to Conservatives- first the nasty remark re : Limbaugh's place- now Bristol Palin.
You slimy Progressives are such whiners.
deborah Dec 31st 2010 10:54PM
And YOUR comment does not represent conservatives very well.
Neither in your behavior nor in your words. Especially since
anyone reading the article can plainly see that nothing bad was
said about Bristol Palin. Your post? Simply less than a class act.

langston hughs? didn't he write Home Alone II?

Well, well Diedre, what a tacky manuver. I agree with BJV. You just make yourself look like a freak. That's so obvious that people are just going to turn you off. Good luck keeping your followers.

Exactly what is your issue? The writer named some properties bought this year, and discussed the one for sale. Sounds like you are the tacky one -- or maybe just a little nuts.
