“Thanks for not explaining anything”

I apologize...I meant to provide a link. He actually goes into a little more depth than the article, i.e., The New Progressive Party of Puerto Rico.

I thought you were supposed to ‘never let them see you sweat’. The Dems are basically running up and down the streets screaming like their hair is on fire.

Well, ever since they rammed ObamaCare through, against the will of The People, and every week a new outrage is found within the body of the bill... their hair is pretty much on fire, as far as November is concerned.

Do you think Obama and Company will get that civil war they have been working on 24/7 since January 20, 2009?

I call the Democrat ones Communists and Traitors. The Republicans have many RINOS in the herd.

With Obama Marxists, Inc. manufacturing a crisis per day, hard as we try, it’s difficult to follow all the peas in his multiple shell games.

I agree, I just thought they would try to hide their feelings.

He is not a progressive. You may despise him but please stay truthful.

Maybe we are talking about two different things. Sorry if that is the case. I thought you were referring to this exchange between Rep. Jose Serrano with Thomas and maybe confussing the two:

You may be talking about something else and I misunderstood.

No biggie....I get confused all the time...LOL. We still know 95% more about what really is going on in our country than 100% of the state run media....(grin).

If it wasn't for Glen Beck's show we'd still be in the dark. I could not believe my ears.

Did you know legislation passed (Pact Act) which forbids cigarettes to be sent through the mail, effective July 1st? Never a peep from the MSM as even they'd have a difficult time spinning it to be 'out of concern for it's citizens'. It's to keep the tax burden States from not getting their fair share.

Great post, FRiend! No, I didn't know about the "Pact Act". And effective as soon as July 1st?? Man, this Gangster Government is moving at the speed of light... my head is spinning.

I was going to say "November can't come soon enough." Instead I'm thinking: I hope the U.S. survives intact by November 2nd... :-(
