There are special systems set up for that. A minor point, but it goes to show how people can sound off on things they do not understand.Silverfiddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13541652236676260219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-78254160821381529472012-11-10T12:23:09.602-05:002012-11-10T12:23:09.602-05:00Yeah, we do.Yeah, we do.Will "take no prisoners" Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02315659209094683602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-83949594767517318502012-11-10T12:08:32.819-05:002012-11-10T12:08:32.819-05:00Or should I say in support of as opposed to on beh...Or should I say in support of as opposed to on behalf of? ;-)Les Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120280762698472496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-21377134974903538312012-11-10T12:07:37.622-05:002012-11-10T12:07:37.622-05:00Common sense.

He was impeached. Only the second president in US history to have had that happened to him. He was found not guilty by the US Senate. Clinton will be remembered throughout history as having been impeached. And RN calls that walking away?<br /><br />So now we have a resignation by the head of the CIA and RN is sowing the seeds of conspiracy with absolutely no facts, evidence, or information.<br /><br />Truly Beckian in its audacity.
