I didn't know that Elizabeth was still with us! So glad to see that she's still among the living, I surely am.

Hey Gosh, why do you LIE about saying Burr is against Veterans. I am a veteran, ARE YOU?

Oh, my bad. And I thought you were just this loser.

I had no idea you spoke for all the real Veterans Groups mad Burr played politics with their benefits.

Hey Gosh, why do you LIE about saying Burr is against Veterans. I am a veteran, ARE YOU? I have met Burr, HAVE YOU? Put the HATE aside and bring some facts to your argument.

Spectre should have just not run again next time as Republican and retired with grace. He left purely due to self interest and self preservation. Spectre has to explain himself to Pennsylvania voters if he decides to run again as a Democrat.

Disappointed in Specter, Shocked by torture, For the Wall Street Bailout, Against the Main Street bailout, Against Veterans, For Right to Life wingnuts...

At least Burr doesn't disappoint anyone but his supporters.
