They remind me of a very low-class advertising campaign for a Cuban furniture store, many years ago, with the slogan, “Lo que importa es el cash!” [What matters is “the” cash]. They are only concerned with the status quo that makes them very, very rich.

Don’t you realize these commissioners do not care? The minute they get elected they think they have this omnipotent power to do as they please. <br /><br />For a voter to even get to first base with them, we are required to show up at their amateur meetings with hat in hand, bowingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37248244.post-28878132688255236492012-12-14T12:18:35.804-05:002012-12-14T12:18:35.804-05:00Well said Gimleteye.
