Mr. Billy, Mr. Billy let me buy your vote.
I'll give you a good time I'll buy you a coat
Never worry about it sir, no one can touch you
Take our money and vote as we say
It will be a good day for you it will be a good day!
And people keep voting for him. Maybe, just maybe, this next election people will wise up.
Evidently when Mr. Bill ran his "fed up" campaign, he was fed up with others rakin' in the dough.
He's done what he said he would, which is open up business opportunities; he just failed to mention he meant for himself.
If you do not like Billy, primary run against him. We need a conservative representative....not a democrat...
Aw maybe the Klan will run somebody against Billy this time. You are right we need a "real" Conservative and the best Conservatives are Klan Members.
I certainly hope comparing Billy to a democrat was done in parody. Same goes for any praise given to the Klan.
Not a bit of it, everyone knows that without the Klan's support, there would not be a Republican Party in Missouri.
I certainly don't know that. Please elaborate...
Without the Klan stirring the pot, you would not have the fear factor to use against the poor folks to make they think they need to keep you all in power.
Time for Boss Hog to go. He does nothing but spew the same hate, fear and ignorance that his owners tell him to. The Republican party better wake up and smell themselves. Time for a change.
