...sorry 'bout that swine.
If nothing else, the Baraqqis always run true to form.
Once you realize who they are, their actions are always predictable.
And the hypocrisy of the MSM is astounding.
This is the Examiner you have posted from.
It is not news. It is a blog.
A damned scummy blog, too.
Make note of it.
i hear ya... sometimes i feel like Popeye, "That's all I can stand, I can't stands no more." and i have to go do something else
I can’t for the life of me understand how any patriotic soldier could ever vote for Obama.
...and Obama knows this. Why do you think they are hiring an army of lawyer to disenfranchise the military vote?
