In 1848, as he stood at the second floor window of the Wolfe Tone Confederate club on the Mall in Waterford with the green, white and orange flag in his hand, 24-year-old Thomas Francis Meagher could hardly have envisaged how his creation would become such an iconic symbol in an independent Ireland decades later.
he s campaigning with ted nugent. ted has been a factor politically for a long time. most candidates have kept him at arm s length. another issue, certainly hot button. why is abbott campaigning the second amendment? is there effort to repeal it in texas that we don t know about making it a hot button had you? my god, i would be shocked in at all places texas there were a repeal movement. when you talk about what motivates a primary voter, there s nothing better than guns, maybe abortion. he s probably talking abortion as well. those are the issues that strive people who are the hard core registered in the primary process to come out and vote. i suspect and we can revisit in six months it will be a completely different set of issues and focus come general election time. grabbing a lot of headlines. thanks very much on the second amendment about the president s comments. speaking to us by satellite.
