He really is a simpleton, dont you agree ?
This is the reason why people don’t have faith in their government. I’m not sure that simpleton quite cuts it. We’re represented by a retard. Unbelievable.
screw patrick and the boat he rode in on..Think his father left him anything??he can`t handle the wealth so I pretty much think his days are # he`ll do himself in..he should get out and get help.same with chaffee.WE JUST LOVE RICH PEOPLE, like Madeoff with our lives.
If anyone qualifies as simpletons here, it’s the three people who submitted the previous posts. Patrick was on the mark about the blame and prejudice we heap upon poor people, just as he was about the importance of safe stable housing for people trying to pull their lives together. His remarks, just like much of his work, reflect a concern for his fellow citizens. It is beyond me how he can be taken to task for that. Incoherently composing nasty remarks from behind the veil of anonymity is cowardly and pathetic.
I hear you, Bill, as do the majority of Americans…the age of greed and fear-mongering ended 1/20/09. If the party of “NO” wants to fight against compassion for your fellow man and planet let them- their ilk will be relegated to the dustbin of history as we move forward as a nation and planet.
What an absolute boob Mr. Kennedy is and he confirms this time and time again.
Totally devoid of any knowledge and common sense, Rhode Island deserves who they vote for. Turn this loser out and bring in someone with common sense and can deal with reality.
