So much truth in these quotes!

They not only illustrate how politicians are, but also how gullible people are--or choose to be--when somebody is promising them goodies.

Like adults who still believe in Santa Claus.

Hey wait a minute. YOU don't believe in SC? Oh that is not wise.

I steadfastly object to the insinuation that any comment above might remotely suggest that there is no Santa Claus.

I did a search for Santa on TOTV. He and Mrs. Claus moved to the Village of Charlotte on 9/25. And that sure looked like Santa in his avatar.

I see Santa Claus in the Villages all the time. There are several men walking around who look like they are right from Macy's Toy Section near Christmas.

The next time you see Santa could you ask him to put a home in The Villages under the tree for me this Dec. 25? Thank you!
