this breaks it down nice and easy to read

anyone against any of these things should be ashamed of themselves for being a tool

I've done $20...and I'll do another $80 on the NJ governor's race. It's your deal....if ya win
I put $80 into the CGCS kitty...if you lose put your $100 in. I bet Corzine loses. Step up or shut up.

CGCS wins. Commit or back off. Do liberals play? Or are you a liar? It's worth the challenge to me.

It's strange how an incessant poster is absent when chips are down.

Those that talk the talk seem to fail to walk the walk. Go figure.

Good to know that someone cares about important stuff, as opposed to petty little things like people facing the choice of not getting needed medical treatment or losing their house.
