we have a double BINGO!

Dems = pathetic self centered “politicians” who think G-d plays games with lives

Reps = G-d fearing Americans who put life and liberty ahead of politics...

They should be told that the convention has been relocated, to New Orleans.

McCain is handling the campaign like Babe Ruth in batting practice. His judgment has been superb.
