Um why didn't Mrs. McCain visit some of the hard hit areas in the US rather than visit a country i have no clue about? I think that 1 billion is needed for all hurricane victims this year. Hey COUNTRY FIRST right

4. We had to learn the names, and locations on a map, of all of the SSRs when I was in fifth grade
That was 1967 when there still was a USSR.

6. It doesn't have to be - Georgia has plenty of resources
Specifically agriculture and mining.

5. Do you recall the name Shevardnadze, and/or the claims of
vote rigging in their election of 2000? Sorta like foreshadowing our own elections.

Public schools really do suck sometimes, don't they. Or were you out that day.

7. Edward Shevradnadze had a VERY high profile as prez of Georgia.

8. I remember watching
an episode on a guy in Tenn who helps out ppl who don't have dental or health insurance. He lives in a school for a 1 a month because the state thanks him for that support. He gathers doctors, dentist to help out. This is for one weekend. it's so sad cause come sunday they turn away tons of ppl. Umm McSame wife could of thanked him if it was Country First? I think its Freedom Droppers?
