You talk about your freedom, your independence, but I know what you really want: protection. Not just from the random cars and predators that dog your path, but from your own weak self and unholy cravings. I will always be with you. My voice, my hypnotic eyes, the magnetic force of my personality — all yours, forever.
— Edward Cullen,
the Twilight series

Plus, you’re an expert on offshore tax havens!
Hmm. This guy seems a little cold to me. I’ll wait to see who else is running.
He is only cold to deter you from your unseemly desires. SOMEBODY has to do it.
Shouldn’t he be running as a Democrat? That quote sounds like Big Government. “I know what you really want: protection…from your own weak self.” Is he a RINO?
Just how long could Bella’s virginity have perked along during a Democratic administration? I rest my case.
Ooooo, *sparkly*….
And don’t believe the lamestream media’s stories about “conflict diamonds.”
What I like about Cullen is that he’s probably taking the long view–after all, he’s going to have to live. . . er, UNlive. . . with any decisions he makes for a very extended period of time. This makes it unlikely that he’ll press any legislation for short-term gain. Plus, he IS sparkly.
This is truely bizarre! If the ‘Republican’ name is to be used, an understanding of different economic concepts is needed, such as ‘supply and demand’. ‘Keynesian economics vs. Austrian economics’. Please use something other than ‘Republican’ and ‘Democrat’ for this ‘fund with voting’ event.
I’m guessing Sarag voted for Jamie.
