Our candidates did not have the courage of their convinctions. And they suck at

campaigning. Honestly, we should consider hiring Campaign Managers away from Repubs.

What Shakespeare Character Are You?

You are Luciana
“That love I begg'd for you he begg'd of me.”

You are a textbook idealist. When you fall in love, it is head over heels...and usually, it's love at first sight! No matter, since you are all heedless optimism and idealism. As a result, you can be a bit sensitive and your heart (and ego!) has been bruised more than once. Your friends value you for your good nature and positive outlook on life. You can be sneaky and crafty when you go after what you want, and it doesn't always turn out how you expect - but it does always ends up for the best!

Courage of Their Convictions.

would be the phrase.

When one has it, they sound strong, brave, fearless.

Granted The TeaParty Repubs sound Crazy with what they have chosen to be convinced in but, the courage of it comes through and that is what is attractive to people.

Irony.

Today my window for changing my insurance opened and, I was able to compare plans.

I qualify for ObamaCare.

ObamaCare will be half the price and includes Dental.

HALF.THE.PRICE.AND.INCLUDES DENTAL

and I have to watch this mid-term election?

Fess up DUers, who here has hit a deer with their vehicle?

You swerved, but still hit the deer. Now you may face a raise in your car insurance rates for something you feel you could not avoid. Even if you have never had this experience several insurance companies are raising rates in states with high or rapidly increasing rates of deer strikes.

Currently West Virginia has the highest rate of deer strikes, where your odds of hitting a deer are one in 39, followed by Michigan, where insurance rate increases are directly correlated with an increase in deer strikes. So, unless you plan to move to Hawaii, where your chances of hitting a deer are only one in 10,000, you may want to take some precautions.

Accidents with deer occur most frequently between October and December which is mating season. Collisions with deer are increasing due to deforestation and building in rural areas forcing deer out of their natural habitats and into more highly populated areas.

The collision rates have increased the most in New Jersey and Nebraska where statistics show a 54% increase in the number of car versus deer accidents in the past two years.
