Once again Gabby shows us how she is a Judgmental person....

Nowhere in the article is the term Hillbilly used...

That is all Gabby and her Judgmental attitude where she thinks she's better then everyone....

So much for compassionate Liberalism....

So much for compassionate Liberalism....The man himself said he is a simple "hillbilly" now I think he was only refering to himself in a way that says he is a simple person with out a lot of drama... It doesn't say it in this story but he refered to himself that way in another story I read..

Sometime you all get so fixated on someone you look for issues in EVERYTHING!!! Geez

just so you DON'T have to look stuff upn yourself here ya go

Oh I can "conceive" it very easily, now having it come to fruiition is a different story...:laugh:


The think you need to remember is that just because you now have money you aren't any smarter than you were resterday, so don't act like you are.. Quickest way to the poor house after winning all that money!!
