Mike, I am confused by your message, what is it besides hiding behind a flag, a song, and a symbol. I am surpised you can find Indiana, you and your phony "Washington" outsider mentality. You are a legend in your own mind, come and see what it is like to work and live in this state. You are a lifelong politician, admit it and carry on.
Why not exclude all places that cater to the rich. Private clubs should not have rules: rules are for the serfs only. In fact, we should subsudize the private clubs, they should not pay property or sales taxes. You go rich and powerful, rules are not for you.
Poor little LadyJ! Typical Democommie. In case it got past you, the dems have totally screwed this country in the past 3+ years. We have a democommie in the White House who apparently never read the Constitution, while claiming to be a constitutional scholar. We had a democommie-controlled Congress (opposite of PROGRESS?)passing bills that "we'll have to pass before we know what's in it". This impostor president has violated the U. S. Constitution too many times to count. The Attorney General is a race-baiting gunrunner that refuses to stop illegal immigration. And, the head of NASA, a once-proud agency that put several men on the moon, is now our liason to the murderous Muslims. Great job, democommies! Sometimes I wish they really would try to take our guns.
Pat Bauer try t do right about the state but the Republican leader and all of them did not think of us. Only the money they will get from their rich corporation. Of Course the Democrats had union, so I won't vote for Bosma or whatever his name is.
Well you are talking about Republican, did all of the Damage in this state. Sure the Democrats did some but most is the Republican. The Republican set us back not going forward. Hurry passed bills won't listen to any amendment our way only. The Republicans drew up these district so they could win again. Which is a crying shame. I will not vote for any Republican and I got the list who voted for the RTW Bill and who didn't. Tired of the Republicans
