May 2012

They have accepted any and all who would vote for R behind the name and thus have the tea party nuts, antiabortion nuts and with giving attention to Ron Paul the paulbots. Their true party members now has to suck up to all of them and will probably lose the war. For those who thinks Paul is so honest and does not bring home the bacon in the form of earmarks in which he then votes against the bills he attaches them to and I would not call honest in saying he is not for spending.
