They probably found his membership card.

“...suicide is usually the worst solution to someone’s problems.”

Especially if the suicide is a murder.

The Tea Party is a state of mind.

How can there be an ‘official’ of a grass roots set of passionate people that has no real organization?

I read this morning that the head of the Republican Party has denied McDaniel the ability to examine the voter logs, saying that some errors were made, but that they have all been fixed.

Sad state of affairs where political speech needs permits, and political campaigning is criminalized and political opponents are thrown in jail and forced to take poison pill to save their honor.
