Why is our government calling democracy a waste of taxpayer money? The $9 million of gas tax dollars spent for Take On Traffic toll lobbying campaign is a waste of taxpayer money.; 8:06 AM, November 07, 2007

In Wyoming, Perry and his thugs would be hanging from trees long ago. I loved living in Texas until Perry was elected, now it's a screwed up mess of a state.; 5:09 PM, November 07, 2007
