and tried to find your source of GOP imaginations. Do GOP assumptions come to you on a regular basis?

Is extremely passionate less than love but greater than like and equal to undying admiration, just trying to find out how I feel about the man according to you?

Your GOP context is not my context because I've left GWB behind years ago and don't understand why you haven't too.

First you say GWB and the GOP agree that Nadar is an American hero and now you say they are PROBABLY thankful. This is a huge turnaround from a cherished and honored American hero to sending a thank you note.

I'm still trying to find the truthfulness in your words as you didn't provide any GWB and Repub Quotes citing Nadar as an American Hero and your bedtime miscalculations.
