We’ve got the attention of all the libs. The only thing they know how to do is suppress dissent by calling normal people nazis, radicals and mobsters.
They are in disarray - they can’t believe that the sheep have stopped bleating and are acting like wolves.

Public redress of grievances without pink foam getups or anarchists burning effigies of sitting presidents? Completely patriotic.

“Results not scientific,” no kidding!
Ambiguous choices that are not mutually exclusive, that dilute each other and prevent any meaningful measurement of opinion whatsoever—the MSM hallmark.

The ‘Rats and Obozo are in deep doodoo....combine this with the leftist violence beginning as a response to the public outcry and the results will be to their peril....only God knows how that peril will take form...

God bless America and may freedom return to her shores....

Click on the Orlando Sentinel link provided in the original posting here. When you get there, the poll gives four choices in the article. Click one! Most of us are clicking the third one.....

Thanks.

pitiful?

When Obamacare is handed a KO loss no one will be describing the town halls as "pitiful" anymore.
