No. I did not make up the story. It really occurred. I'm too old and tired to get excited anymore so thought I would share the experience with others. Others can form their opinions and act, or not act, as to their feelings concerning v***r f***d.

Thanks Loki and Slatten49. I enjoy the majority of contributors on this site and find amusement with the few angry liberals. I actually feel sorry for them as h**e is a very self-destructive emotion. Oh well, it is their choice. I wish them freedom to follow their own directions whether good, bad or indifferent. Good luck to us all.

I have appeared several times on the format as "sisboombaa". There are two reasons I chose this "name". First, this is the answer "Carnack the Magnificent" gave to the question, what sound does an exploding sheep make. That explains me when I was young. The second, it is also a cheer that cheerleader use. This explains me now. I'm nearing 80 years old and an tired. Am a total Conservative with a sense of humor as I am on my way out. I wish those I love the best. Those I have had conflicts with I also wish well. Good luck to all of us.

Julun, with all due respect, you couldn't be more wrong. You fail to see my humor in a serious statement that should be checked out. I know what is going on. I just want to fire up those who wish to follow in my foot steps.

Being a conservative living in a liberal state (California) has always been a challenge. Most often I was up to the sparing but now at my late age and failing health I must restrict my activity to just being a cheerleader on the sidelines. Yesterday, I wanted to d**g my old body out to v**e. I never received my sample b****t in the mail so didn't know where the polls were located. I drove around and found it. Upon entering I saw six volunteers and approached one. I stated I had not received a sample b****t and she answered that I was not the only one that many had reported the same thing. I then asked if those not receiving the mailings were all registered republicans. Three of the volunteers laughed and three frowned. They couldn't find my name on the list until I helped them. I filled out the b****t, returned it to have it fed into the machine. The man took it from me and tore off the bottom receipt and threw the folder into the pile of returned folders. My b****t was still in the folder. I stared at him, he said "oh, sorry", retrieved my b****t and fed it into the machine. Now, my question to you is, are the three mishaps honest mistakes or****? The state is California, County of Amador, county district number two. Would there be any readers that would be in a position to check this out? I'll be right behind you, from the sidelines, cheering you on.

I live about 400 miles north/west of Las Vegas. Yes, I'm surrounded by liberals but not of their ranks.

Don, I have enjoyed many of your contributions and this item is no different. Too bad we can't meet over coffee or a highball for a discussion as I think we are so close in our thinking and beliefs. Take care and keep up the good writings.

Thanks Don, great piece. Too bad more people won't read and understand this.

Whether or not if you agree with Joe's position he is someone to admirer for sticking to his beliefs. I just happen to agree with Joe. I admire his courage.

Common sense should tell us Joe is a hero.

Stop, the final word on Joe should be based on common sense not rumors. It is my belief that Joe is one of our heroes; bless his heart.

to "onelostdog": Thank you for the kind words. I think you are a special person.

Since you see the beauty in and of your contribution there is no need of my comments accept too say it is one of the most beautiful expressions of t***h ever printed. I cried with love and compassion when I read it; and read it several time. I will remember it always.

Having worked with or around attorneys over the years. I have had experience with about 150 (plus or minus). I can say there was only 4 that I had respect for both their morals and knowledge. What a sad comment. I am not an attorney if you're wondering.
