The budget allocated, would merely shift over to black ops. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Bhairitu <noozguru@...> wrote: > > On 07/24/2013 06:45 PM, Michael Jackson wrote: > > If they voted no on the bill, it doesn't necessarily mean they are Nazis, > > just doing favors for those who are so they can receive favors in return. > > IOW, traitors.
