The left would rather hear eloquent lies than the hard to swallow truth.

Yes, the ComDems are rich with empathy.

They are really empathetic towards their countrymen who don't toe their line...

Even the RevComDem youngsters like to get in the act (even if they are in another country)...

Yes, there's nobody more empathetic than a RevComDem.

I ask everyone to refer to them as “Obamacages”.

The UK daily mail, doing the reporting work our press should be doing. This just goes to show that ABC, CBS, NBC, etc. are not actual music at work but arms of the Democrat party.

I don't see anything wrong with putting FGBAs (Future Gang Bangers of America) in cages. Consider it like training wheels on a bicycle. It prepares them for their future life in stir.

She seemed very stressed. It was still her - but she had been handed talking points...
