3. May they all find peace with God.
Do you remember last July when it was unbearable to wake up every day to see that another soldier had been killed in Iraq? It just seems as if the same day keeps playing over and over again. And what makes it so painful is the knowledge that this is all happening because of a cabal of lies.

6. 543
543 lives with great potential snuffed out because of the lies of a simpleton, greedy rich little coward ass ,priviledged frat boy who canot even speak the English language coherently.

who as of late, has trotted out his slave, botoxed, eye lifted, maybe more than once,joker smiling, let's pretend my husband has intelligence , ignorant, banal, insipid fat assed liar of a wife who loves being the first lady without any portfolio at all, to fend for him (which she does quite willingly as her role as a Stepford La la stupid head librarian)

Families afflicted by this ignorant stupid man, never will ever be the same. Mothers will be left in charge of trying to support the two, three or four children following the orders of an insane, cowardly prick of a man as he cuts benefits that might help. These wives will forever be struggling to raise these children without their father--that is NOT easy and is really a enormous struggle. I know of more than one that were faced with that in the Vietnam war--

543==:cry:
