One of our state representitives came up with a quote that's too good to let die. Democrat Drew Saunders of Mecklenburg County (Charlotte) said, "Even the baby Jesus accepted gifts, and I don't think it corrupted Him." Classic politician if I ever heard one. -------------------- TheCarolinaScotsman Ya'll drive safe and come back soon.

Ok, they can have all the handknitted potholders and bake-sale cakes their office's can hold. Jeeze! How many of you are given gifts just for doing your job?????? -------------------- Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like inside somebody else's skin.

But the difference is it's for doing her job well and helping the company...not for voting a certain way. -------------------- May those who love us love us And those who don't love us May God turn their hearts, And if He doesn't turn their hearts, May He turn their ankles, So we'll know them by their limping.

Apparently not.

When our schools have enough funding and the politicians have to hold bake-sales to raise money to campaign, I'll be a happier camper.

Just my $.02
