I am a lifetime conservative woman who has voted Republican
for over 30 years. I am totally disgusted by the recent comments
on rape by Richard Mourdock and even more disgusted
that Mitt Romney did not pull his ads for this guy.
I guess Mitt believes the same thing. He just lost my vote!
A very interesting read and a great post alltogether. thanks for sharing this information.

What a wonderful idea! That’s a perfect way to honor your children and have a beautiful design as well. I’m really interested in hearing how much the design of the star means to people myarchitectures.com
Overwhelming support from other countries to stop the war in this country is pretty good. The Iranian government should be able to respond to it positively and think of the fate of his people by ending a war that has been happening.
This was a great and fun article to read. I really do appreciate this information.
But the sound track, with that inane maddening banging gong/bell/bamboo zylophone music was the worst, most maddening thing I've ever heard.
