"Is there anyone on DU that is paid by the Democratic Party or the White House...?"

...tell me that I am all the time. They imply, make up silly names and use other tactics to try to get to the bottom of their silly conspiracy. Some people are obsessed with the thought.

I sometimes want to post...never mind, that would get be hidden. Mostly, I simply laugh that people are consumed by the thought.

LOL!
