jade I am not generally the one that that makes those types of remarks without provocation. And to be honest there are those days that...

I do apologize to those civil individuals that I may have offended. But to those of you that make the remarks about revenge and we should do this to so and so, ect.

Why make those remarks? If I wanted to be bitter about some, I certainly could and have been. Bitterness is like a cancer that consumes us from the inside out. We all need to work at getting well, and making stupid remarks about past leaders, etc will not help!

I am attempting to grow and become a better person. But at times ... Again sorry, I should have better self-control.

I just read your comment on the GOP rejecting Pelosi's energy proposal. It was clear, thorough, informative and based on facts. How refreshing! I will definitely put you on my watchlist and am sending a friend invite. Thank you for your common sense.

There is no leader of the Republican Party. There probably won't be one until the GOP nominates its next presidential candidate. But while the hierarchy of the players shifts, the party drama follows an expected pattern.
