“Does that sound familiar?” Pelosi said, to applause from the gathered activists.

Harry Reid is a closeted homosexual. Nothing else explains his interest in “tea bagging”.

IN what way did George Washington warn us about political parties opposed to government? Given that Washington was part of a party of men who led an armed rebellion against government, I doubt she is telling the truth.

Someday he’ll stop wasting oxygen.
