The 5th district in NC. If we don't have the dumbest Representative she has to be a close 2nd.

In the good old WASP days, just because you were white didn't mean your success was assured, but not being white meant that you were assured to be kept out.<br /><br />Remarkable how something so simple and apparent can be so blindly denied.LanceThrusterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02988610775554524387noreply@blogger.com
