Now I'm curious what kinda closet activities she'd partake in. Just got my vote.

I agree. At least she's honest about being a vampire, unlike the rest of those leeches in DC.

  Yep, if she's only 65% Lying Sack of Shit, so she must have a twinge of honesty here & there.....you've spotted it!!

Besides, ol' Slick Willy would make a hella first lady gentlemen(?).

Now, back to Palin, the Republican answer to Hillary.

but if you've seen the condition of this town's streets you understand that they sorely need repair, and this IS the proper responsibility of government to raise money to repair the streets.

Yes, it is! And, as a Californian, I feel compelled to warn you that - while both state and federal gasoline taxes are supposed to accomplish such - neither has done so: Nail down that "tax" to the specific purpose by statute or referendum… Or accept your potholes and such as your due, from politicians wanting more taxes, more money to spend. (Their priorities are probably not yours… )

So, how comes it you actually admit that at least on the local level-- which is where Villa Park's village board would be-- honesty might be in short supply? So, if honesty is hard to find locally, where the politician lives in town and actually has to deal with his constituents every day across the back-yard fence, we can somehow find these honest politicians to send to state and federal offices, where his/her constituents are hundreds or thousands of miles away?

I did vote for a local bond issue which will likely raise taxes--- but if you've seen the condition of this town's streets you understand that they sorely need repair, and this IS the proper responsibility of government to raise money to repair the streets.

Here they seem to "repair" perfectly good roads at random.

We have roads in this town that haven't been maintained since I was a boy-- and I'm 59 now so that gives you an idea of just how bad it can get here. The main drags are OK-- the side streets are in real trouble.

In this town, repair of perfectly good roads doesn't seem to be a problem. Finding roads that aren't reverting back to the days when they were mud trails that a team of horses would have difficulty pulling the cart on--- that's the problem.

You come back a couple days later, the dust is gone, as are the workers, and there is shiny new tarmac as far as your somewhat nearsighted eyes can see.  Half the construction in the world happens in China, and it shows.
