I am a little dismayed at the votes of our “conservative” team of Mississippi lawmakers. I know why Benny voted against it, but why did Pallazo, who I thought was tea party, vote for this heap of smoking manure?
With a motor mouth president plus the media there is no way on earth to stop the TEA PARTY reality in the same way that it will take decades to evolve from the democratic party, communism and other parties of the mind.
