Well, the rest of us take comfort knowing that you wouldn't be intimidated.

It's retaliation on the 26 law suits Texas has filed and it's FU attitude towards Obama.

Why did West, TX not get Federal Disaster Funds but the NJ and NY did after the hurricane ?

That is actually not really true in this case.

The process is someone files a law suite against the violating county and it is taken care of via the court system. Holder/Obama is not involved.

I believe the Obama administration's formal response was based on the fact that Texas was able finance the rebuilding on its own without federal assistance.

I'm wondering, why is it legal to requre me to show ID to purchase a gun?

Civil rights are being trampled by ID requirments, where is the outrage flordia.bob? Why isn't Holder rushing to my rescue? Why isn't Obama getting to the bottom of this atrocity?

that's your dream...not reality. You can't name one state in which 'voters' voted 3or 4 times in an election cycle. your claim is unsubstantiated.

typical.
