Mike S
-62 Years old as of 12/31/2010 -Retired from the US Army after 26 years. I was a Signaleer then a Tanker, (the new PC title is DAT Distinguished Armor Technician, we have another name for it) -Retired as a First Sergeant -Married -3 Children (One daughter married a Jarhead the other a Swabbie). Son? Well he can't choose as well as his old man if you get my drift -9 Grandchildren, (6 girls and 3 boys) -Opinionated but willing to listen to a well thought out and presented arguement. If you are rude and crude to me be prepared to get it right back. I don't call names but all else is fair gain. I've been reported and even blocked before, doesn't bother me at all -Don't consider myself a veteran. I am a 'retired soldier' (even brushed up against the gates of 'Fiddler's Green' once, so keep that in mind if you decide to lambaste me for one of my answers. I'll tell you like it is even if you don't really want to hear it -GOOD LUCK TO YOU

Do gays really want her as one of their senators? Golly, such a choice here. What do you think?
