Who is showing up at these anti Republican meetings in red districts. Possibly a lot of Soros financed losers.

Need more data.

This is as stupid as the idiot in Indiana that said women release a hormone to prevent pregnancy in the case of rape.

Despite describing the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 as a “horrible waste of tax dollars”, Mullin’s plumbing business took approximately $370,000 of government funds from that program.

Must be related to that AH Egg McMuffin McMullen who ran for President on the “Mitt Romey is a Looser” Ticket last year.
