pResident Obola was re-elected, yet I saw many stories bout how bad his ratings were. We’ll see about this election.
Salena, what we want is not to get along with Marxists, but to return the USA to the freedom it had.
Here lies Karl Rove

It still could be a squeaker, what with cheating and all.
We just voted. I think we did some damage. Didn’t vote a straight (R) ticket. Some of the (R) candidates were just as creepy as the (D) candidates.
