Let me take a wild guess
Hillary supporter ?
Illegal aliens of ALL ethnicities. And yeah, I was hoping that # would be a lot higher.
I have a feeling the author is really scared of Hillary's ineptitude.
Reagan scared the crap out of them.
BTW I see Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin endorsed Ted Cruz today.
Funny, I’ve been saying that about Sanders and Clintin.
This woman is an especially odious breed of liberal bint.
I guess being a Three Named DemoncRat Vampire means you can’t see your reflection in a Mirror.
Looks like she got the Specs from the Oversized Woody Allen Collection at Walmart.
Oh yeah, Rock On Garth!
Only a little better than one with a hyphenated last name.
“Heather Digby Parton”. With a name like that, I’d be mad at the world, too.
GARTH BETTER LOOKING.
I hate to pick on Dolly’s sister; but, we are sick of GOPe
and willing to at least consider SOMETHING ELSE entirely.
We’re tired of the games and utter disconnect of that GOB

Hussein has been, nor than Hitler-y WOULD be.
