Some of Bobby's other issue positions (I'm not making this up):
1. Eliminate drivers licenses
2. Eliminate paper money - conduct state business in gold and silver
3. Death penalty for abortion
4. No local ordinances against backyard chickens
5. Rape victims must pay for their own medical exams

I commented on this yesterday and it's not here. This is the third comment that hasn't posted.
I will go again.

As a woman and a human I say good riddance to this heartless creature and I am NOT sorry for my comment.
He was bad and made my stomach turn with his evil, hateful ways.
