getting together.

and I notice it at just the time the 80-20 is coming to be, with the extremist 20 soon going to be rendered politically obsolete
at the voting booth.

at just the time, two major senate races are being done as we are in election season now.

I haven't though noticed one true Barack Obama supporter jumping ship, and as I am one, I haven't either.

What smear will it be tomorrow? The birther one again? Rev Wright again?

80-20 is coming, just like LBJ got a 73-27 victory on this day so many years ago.

The warrantless wiretapping is on international calls. FarCenter Jun 2013 #15

But didn't the "whistleblower" dispute those facts? kentuck Jun 2013 #16

No, read Greenwald's blog carefully -- he is trying to conflate domestic and international calling. FarCenter Jun 2013 #17

How did you interpret this? kentuck Jun 2013 #24

The preceding paragraph explained it FarCenter Jun 2013 #29

And that is the problem. kentuck Jun 2013 #31
