Showing up and voting against Democrats amounts to “skewing” elections.

loosely organized movement.....

It is.....and that is our strength. There is no single target for the Rats and RINOs to isolate, ridicule and demonize. We know who we are, what we are about and what we want.....and our enemies can't figure it out......GOOD!!!!!

And I could not be happier about it. My heart is with all who attend the convention and look out for Saturday’s keynote speaker to kick some serious butt!

God Save the Republic!

So, what's this lying sack of sh!+'s view on whether the New Black Panthers and ACORN and MoveOn are dangerous? She should resign or be fired. Thanks blueyon.

If the right people are office then there’s no need to contemplate leaving the union.

They’ve proven they can raise millions in a matter of hours and they’re skewing elections across the nation,

So if we all wear purple shirts while skewing elections , does that make it OK?
