Elizabeth brat I was wondering that too and I'm glad you asked. I know Kennedy's reputation is that he has been very good to MA residents. I thought very highly of Jimmy Carter in the past, but in the past year he has said some very controversial things and I'm not 100% sure anymore. Lucille I think Jimmie Carter is a kind-thoughtful man. These days, I think he may be a little overboard with some of his things. Nevertheless I think he is sincere and honest, agree or not.

As with most other things, no one says I have to agree with everyone all the time. |

It can be marinated, which would eliminate the need for a sauce. |

Wonder if she likes Kerry or Kennedy! I've had no use for John Kerry since he voted to authorize military action in Iraq. He was the ONLY elected rep from the Commonwealth of Massachusets to vote yes and he said at the time that he knew his constituents didn't support his vote. I think he did it because he wanted to run for president and I've voted against him as senator ever since. Kennedy may have a sorted background, but he has worked hard for the people of this Commonwealth. JMO. Elizabeth |
