Let's go back and see what I originally said "There is no shortage of bi-polar gun nuts among those hard hat union guys" Did I ever say there were a higher incidence Kevin? Did I say it was a universal truth Harry? If you guys lie about what I say, it is easy to say I am wrong. Can you quantify "no shortage"? |
