Go Tom go! Show the drunken yellow puke and turkeyneck what its like to be a REAL American.

Bingo!!! I would have put it this way: All the news that fits to print. You can always tell when the NY Slime is agitatedthey attack the conservatives. Hey Pinch; go home to Carlos Slim, your savior. You are doomed.
Just listened to Cotton being interviewed on Fox News. I am awe struck at this guy! He’s got the David going up against Goliath kind of courage, and sharp as a tack to boot. Exactly the kind of man we need in this hour. We have the good people of Arkansas to thank for putting this man in the senate!
Praise from the pig sty may explain his refusal to an invite to do a talk to talk on Mark Levin’s talkie.
Seems to me he was out in front
Same strategy with a letter used by John Kerry, Ted Kennedy and other Democrats during the Reagan years.
