    What a waste of a Congressional seat. She’s a cheerleader that accomplishes support for ongoing situations. That’s it. Whoop dee freaking doo. She leads nothing new and simply parrots the leadership of the party. Have you ever gone to one of her town meetings ? What a joke. She meets no one and you can’t ask a direct question. Everything is filtered through associates and “handled”. Good Lord

      Hillary Clinton, the Ice Maiden, was very much the same.

      When the Purple Heart stamp came out, there was a ceremony in New York near Newburgh where Washington spent a winter during the Revolution, and invitations were sent out to Purple Heart veterans like myself to attend and supposedly be honored, which was a crock of pure **** at what was clearly a political event for Hillary to praise first of all, Hillary herself, and then the people involved in coming up with the stamp, how hard they worked, each of them, as she called them up one by one for praise from us as to how lucky we were to have them getting us a stamp of our own, and there Hillary went into other stamps that people were lucky, like us to have gotten, stamps for example with birds on them for people who like birds, and never once did she make mention of the fact that she was i the presence of a tent full of people who “earned” that decoration the harder way.

      Then, after the ceremony, I was foolish enough to think that Hillary would have all the Purple Heart veterans pass by her so she could personally thank each and every one of them for their service, and that never happened.

      Instead, Her Very Much Highness Hillary stayed behind a rope barrier with her goons positioned to keep the veterans away from here, while she was taking congratulations from people in suits behind the rope with her.

      During the ceremony, one of her goons, some Secret Service dude going to seed, came over and stood right in front of me so all I could see was his ass, which pissed me off, given that I had been invited there, so I stood up and tapped the goon on the shoulder and told him to move and get out of my way, which he did.

      When I sat back down, somebody said, “that was the Secret Service you told to move,” to which I replied “I don’t give a **** who he was, he was standing in my way!”

      Maybe Luria had Hillary as her political mentor because they sound so much alike.

    Outside of press releases, does she really exist?

    Ya’ know what ? I don’t want everybody to think I’m a malcontent that won’t give Ms. Luria a chance. I have an idea of how she can help me and probably darn near 95% of the people living on The Eastern Shore. We all have cell phones and our service is terrible if I use a kind word. How long, how many years is Verizon Wireless going to be allowed to get away with this ? That question refers to the fact that we pay the same amount for our terrible service that so many parts of the country pay for very good service. We have the same problem that so many rural areas have. Verizon believes there are not enough phones here, therefore not enough income, to justify them putting in enough towers and technology to give us the same service as other areas that receive good phone service.
    Hogwash. How long has Verizon been getting a return on their investment ? If anybody advertises more than Verizon, I’d like to know who that is. Maybe Budweiser ? Advertising is not cheap. They advertise here. They are making plenty of money. Enough to finally get us the same service that everyone else in this country pays the same amount for.
    I believe our Congressional Representative has the ability to get together with other Representatives of other rural areas. She can use her favorite word that I think she misrepresents when she says she gets bipartisan support. She should get together with her fellow Congressmen and lean on Verizon and make them give us all the same quality of service, or get us a reduction in fees. My phone only works 1/2 the time in 1/2 the places I go. I’ll accept a new 50% lower cell phone rate, but I’d rather just have excellent service. Anybody wanna take bets on whether or not N. Pelosi will let her take up the cause ? Or that she would ?
