I thought Dean was trying to hypnotize the crowd by repeating "You have the Power" three times.

Once again to the Democreeps on their "take our country back" mantra;

1) It's not your country to take.

2) If you do get the country, you'll just give it away anyway. Most likely to some ridiculous socialist or communist.

What's wrong with Alan Combs? He looks like he's lost weight. He looks sickly. No jokes about his looks, please. I'm just asking if anyone knows if he's ill.
