Cheney, Bush, The Pope and Clinton’s Rockefeller-nose used the same weather machine that made Hurricane Katrina flood all the African Americans of New Orleans, to flood Atlanta. The Catholic G-D of the treasonous traitors that commited 9/11 are targeting me because I know they did 9/11. Those neocons are not above using the power of weather to silence their foes that misuse Latin tense and expose their treachery. Death for Treason.

This is a truly impressive list of supporters, I have to hand it to Tom. He is putting together a truly impressive campaign, and if he is the nominee (instead of myself), I will proudly support him and wish him all the best. He is a class act.

Well, one supporter Tom Graves will not have is Ms. Gena Abraham Evans. Afterall, if she lines up her former lovers and squeezes them for support and money for Mike, poor Tom cannot compete. Even that impressive list of legislators won’t be able to drum up a list of support that long and yes, even with their “indidiscretions”. Not particularly a Tom Graves fan but rather him or Lee Hawkins over the Gena/Mike team. Hm…..wonder though….if Mike gets elected and she starts charging for what she was giving away so freely in GA, we might be able to pay off the national debt. It’s a thought.
