Why does she feel the need to say that so often?

And is anyone in her HQ? She isn't getting applause on her applause lines.

Um, more like the same Michelle..for another 4 years.


She sounds too arrogant to drop out. Maybe once the check stop coming in? Which will be tomorrow when no one is returning her phone calls.

I'm getting old and sometimes I can't find the remote fast enough! Even 10 seconds of her annoying voice is too much to take.

to the house, hopefully her district will say 'No" to her this time, but that fact that she has won there several times tells me it's not a very intelligent district.

but most of the 6th is like Mississippi. I'm hoping they redistrict it so it's not 100 miles end to end, but I'm not holding my breath.

It's the usual "vote for me because I care about your one issue (gays, guns, abortions), but I'm really working for the 1%". Nevermind it has the most foreclosures and highest unemployment in the state.
