Re: [FairfieldLife] The Meditator Bloc Vote?
Surprised he bothered. Not too many votes for him here, although I do see some Cruz yard signs not far from my house. Now that's something I would never put up -- for anyone. Why tell my neighbors my political views? Now I know my near neighbors are dangerous extremists! Apparently Charles Grassley, our oh-so-conservative senator, didn't much care to visit Fairfield because of all those liberals we harbor here. Bernie Sanders is here today for his coronation. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Cruz sneaked in behind the Cornstalk Curtain? From: "dhamiltony2k5@...
