How can you tell if a Democrat lies, steals, cheats and hates America? Answer .... he's breathing!!!!
Lack of courage to charge a member of the elite rulling class. Party affiliation is not a determining factor to the present Administrations Justice Department. This is due to a lack of testosterone producing glans IMHO.
It would make a difference if he was white. They didnt have any trouble putting Duke Cunninsham in jail.
Now there is a REAL election issue.
Well of course they didn't have any trouble with doing that to Cunningham. It doesn't take a lot of effort to kick your own a$$.
