O'Reilly and Rush need to take a look at this. . .even Neil Cavuto would be interested.

Incredible; clear why the Dems make such a show over campaign finance reform; knew it was a bad joke; just not how big!

Funny thing, now I am wondering if this info has been put into public view, compliments of the Clinton's.

Okay; I will 'get a grip' here; they are certainly not under every rock - just most of them. . .
