  SplatShot I hear ya, Buddy! This is one fantastic chop, and for the record it wasn't me.
  I haven't voted yet.
  Hopefully this moronic individual can be tracked down.
  
  Hitspinner Either jealous or clueless. Very likely a 1 Karma voter with microscopic influence. But it is the insult, always If the disrespect keeps up Kellie or Mac will likely lob a grenade. Great chop. I see a cup in my crystal balls
  
  lucianomorelli Excellent play with colours on his face.

Republican Keystone Pipe Dream
- - nycpixelrob
    So Republicans voted several times for Keystone pipeline. Looks like Pipe dream to me. This fellow on the left side is Stephen Harper, Canadian prime minister. Canada and Koch brothers are to be the biggest winners of this pipeline.
    Feel free to disagree with me!

Hillary Clinton Running Her Presidential Race in a Storm
- - Swashbuckle
    I wish it wasn't true, but I think Hillary Clinton will run for president in 2016 unless the world magically ends before it. Once again the Clintons forge left and right, out of right and wrong.

- Hitspinner Maybe? She must not be afraid of right wing nut-cases with rifles? I don't see the right tolerating any more years of a socialist agenda. That is my fear. The liberals should probably give it a rest and avoid the storm. Nice chop by the way
  
  Swashbuckle Thanks Hit Man. I would agree that Obama's biggest achievement might be to convince 53% of the electorate to move to the right. Politics is getting to be like a train wreck - you can't watch, and you can't avoid watching.
  
  NewsMaster She's in very fragile health, yet is under big pressure to run. Will she be able to handle the campaign? Gonna be tough

  Swashbuckle Thanks. This came out more objective than I actually intended. I'm not a Clinton fan. But, I'd like to think, although outdated, I'm a a gentleman.
