Ummm, that shows up on a total of ONE crappy blog on the entire Internet. Jesus Christ. I would think you'd be more intellectually honest than that.

I DON’T think that I have ever LAUGHED so hard in my life!
YOU! who just a few monthes back posted to me something like, “In just a few short years ‘Dr. Paul’s’ name will be spoken amoung republican’s with the same ‘reverence’ as Ronold Reagan’s name is now”....
That is Extremely, Extremely, Extremely funny!
I have not laughed this hard for years!
I also at one time “swore” that I would never support McCain....
But that was B....S....
Before Sarah.
Oh, and welcome to the team!
