carlquintanilla A fine rep. What must she have thought about Bobo?

What she accomplished while in Congress is the true and accurate meaning of pro-life, not the Republican/Conservative definition of pro-life, which is utter crap.

Too bad not everyone who works gets these benefits.

Lying media knows they roasted her for crying
