Is't wonderful, just 30 days before the election Buddie Lee pulls out the big one, well we can pick up the dealers, but what about the people bringing the drugs to the dealers. The main one arrested, has been using and selling drugs for over 10 years, WHY wait until now to do this. Ronnie do you really think this is going to buy you and your clan another term. Wake up and find a real job...........
