$$$$$$$$ and lots of it.

Luv, luv, luv the new dam money.
The media doesn’t understand that the tea party is not an actual political party but really a state of mind.

” really a state of mind. “ and the boogie man lives rent free in their heads...
Exactly!!
WE ARE AMERICA !!!!!
The left just doesn’t want to admit it; they’re scared to death of us .. along with Cruz, and Lee, AND THEY SHOULD BE.
Like Robert Byrd in WV.
