Does Howard Dean run the RNC?; Update: Jeremiah whines
Scroll down for updates…
Howard Dean smells an opening.
Seizing on the heavy-handed response of John McCain and the RNC to the completely unobjectionable anti-Obama ad by the North Carolina GOP I spotlighted yesterday, Dean is now pressing McCain further on the issue–and claiming that if McCain doesn’t succeed in forcing the state party to withdraw its ad, it’s a failure of his “leadership” (read: bullying) skills.
The DNC has sent out this e-mail to supporters:
While the McCain campaign made a show of protesting the ad, McCain made no mention of the fact that key officials in the North Carolina GOP are members of McCain’s state steering committee and McCain donors.
Nor did he mention the fact that the state chair who is bucking his leadership is a member of the arrangements committee of the Republican National Convention. Given his ties to state Republican leaders, if McCain is serious about making sure this ad never airs, he should have no trouble making it happen. If not, McCain should return their contributions, remove them from his campaign committees, and strip the state chair from her role on the GOP’s convention committee.
Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean today issued the following statement calling on McCain to exercise real leadership and pull the plug on this ad:
“This is a test of leadership for John McCain. If he can’t pick up the phone and make members of his own party stop airing a television ad he claims to oppose, how can he lead our country through an economic crisis or the war in Iraq? After shifting his positions on gun control, immigration and tax cuts throughout this campaign, McCain should not equivocate on this issue. Making a show of releasing your emails to the press is not leadership. If he is serious, he will get this ad pulled.”
McCain and the Beltway GOP elite have no one to blame but themselves for engineering this debacle. They’re delusional in trying to put a positive spin on the episode. See the RNC’s superiority complex pose at David Brody’s blog. If grass-roots conservatives have been left with the impression that Howard Dean runs the RNC, it’s not because of anything Howard Dean has said and done over the last 24 hours.
NC blogger Katy Benningfield provides some local reporting and insights:
The phone is ringing off the hook at NC GOP headquarters and the money is said to be rolling in, but it’s not enough. Our party needs more and they need YOUR contribution to get this ad off the Internet and ON THE AIR. Contribute online, here.
The state party is apparently receiving threats, as the Raleigh Police Department has been guarding NC GOP headquarters all day. The doors to the Hillsborough Street building are locked. After the firebombing of the same structure by anarchists a few years back, they’ve learned to expect the unexpected.
This is making national news and Katy’s Conservative Corner has never been more proud to be a North Carolina Republican than today.
John Hood shares more NC analysis.
Meanwhile, TV station WRAL has rejected the ad. The article doesn’t say on what grounds they made the rejection.
Here it is again. Always happy to remind you of who the real extremists are:

John Hawkins at Right Wing News to RNC: “Weenies.”

Update: Excerpts of Jeremiah Wright’s therapy session with Bill Moyers are trickling out…
In his first wide-ranging interview since video clips of his inflammatory sermons were aired, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. defended himself over the controversy, saying that his words were twisted.
Mr. Wright, Senator Barack Obama’s former pastor, gave an interview to Bill Moyers on Wednesday, to air on PBS tomorrow.
“I felt it was unfair,” Mr. Wright said, according to excerpts of the interview released Thursday. “I felt it was unjust. I felt it was untrue. I felt for those who were doing that, were doing it for some very devious reasons.”
In Mr. Wright’s sermons, he suggested that Americans bore some responsibility for the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, saying “America’s chickens are coming home to roost.” He also blamed the government for the spread of AIDS among African-Americans, characterized the United States government as corrupt and referred to the “U.S. of K.K.K. A.”
He did not apologize or back away from his remarks in the interview, instead saying that people wanted to paint him as “some sort of fanatic.”
…When asked what the people who aired the clips “wanted to communicate,” Mr. Wright said, “I think they wanted to communicate that I am unpatriotic, that I am un-American, that I am filled with hate speech, that I have a cult at Trinity United Church of Christ. And by the way, guess who goes to his church, hint, hint, hint? That’s what they wanted to communicate.”
Jeremiah Wright did a fantastic job of communicating that all on his own.
Now, everybody hush up. We’re being “not appropriate and helpful,” you know.

Update: Allah has a vid clip of the Moyers-Wright therapy session.

I think that John McCain has the right to set the tone for his party, and it is a right he has earned through the primary votes.
On the other hand, Howard Dean is the reason why I left the Democratic Party
Score one for Howard Dean.
When you don’t have a good explanation for your actions – criticize the person that brought it up. Classic Obama. Next up, everyone is a racist who finds the Rev. offensive.
I still don’t see anything wrong with the ad being run by the NC GOP. Obama’s relationship with Wright, etc. is factual and fair game. And, if those down-ballot candidates have endorsed Obama, they have directly linked themselves and their campaigns to him. If they aren’t ashamed of Obama and Obama isn’t ashamed of his “friendly” affiliations, etc., what’s the big deal for Obama, the DNC, the RNC and/or McCain?
And, I’ll say it again here….
I hate to agree with Hillary Clinton on anything. But, if you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. Obama isn’t feeling heat,…yet. Wait until the general election, if he wins the Dem nomination. And, if he can’t handle having his affiliations thrown up now, what’s he going to do when he is dealing with third world despots, etc.?
Someone should tell Dean to get one of his nominee wannabee’s to drop out and stop tearing his party apart, or shut his trap.
He might as well. The RNC would probably do better with fund raising. I know a lot of us conservative Republicans have given up sending money.
I actually think this ad calling Obama “too extreme” would help him identify with the youth in NC (if they bother voting).. and the little cute-sounding grandma at the end doesn’t help the creators of the ad either.. in fact I almost laughed like it was some spoof on straight-laced old grannies! I see no reason to block the ad, but I don’t really think it will hurt Obama.. the way the announcer says “he’s just too extreme for NC”.. sorry but that makes me cringe, like, are you really being serious? heh.. imho they’re doing Obama a favor going live with this ad..
Fair enough. As long as we recognize that this is “Vote for Hillary” strategy by the NC GOP and not an ad against the state’s Democrat gubernatorial candidates.
And interesting how the anti-Obama ad is getting far more national exposure since McCain denounced it. I wonder if that was the desired effect?
heh seriously, does nobody else see it? Imagine SNL trying to create a skit to mock conservatives.. other than the very first bit, this ad is IT! lol..
Dean really isn’t a good candidate for discussion of leadership. If he were half the leader he thinks he is, he would have found a way to stop the uncivil war that is going on in his party … not that I am complaining about that war. The destruction of the Democrat party has been great entertainment.
Didn’t see this one coming. The enemy is running out of ammunition, quick give him some of ours. Idjit.
The precise reason that Rush Limbaugh has been encouraging Republicans to vote in the Democrat primaries is because the Republicans won’t bring up and emphasize these issues, and Hillary will.
If nothing else this election year has sure pointed out some real losers we have trying to run this country for “We the People”
It’s quite disgusting. Bunch of immature idiots if you ask me.
When I read that McCain opposed this ad, I knew it was a mistake.
If he thinks that the Dems are going to play nice with him during the general election, he is an idiot.
Now, he is being called out and I wonder how he is going to spin this into him looking good.
If he pulls the ad, he is stuck with NOT running any negative ads in the general election.
If he doesn’t pull the ad, he looks like an idiot now. (More than he already does.)
Dean’s an idiot who engineered the Florida and Michigan debacles (read “failure of leadership”), Obama is not fit for office because he’s a baby and a socialist, Wright is an anti-white, anti-semetic mentor who is more dangerour than David Duke because he is successfully recruiting. They should all go drown themselves.
Still think McCain is ready for prime time? Speak softly and carry a big stick. He should try it.
Michelle,
You’re exactly right, “McCain and the Beltway GOP elite have no one to blame but themselves for engineering this debacle.” There was absolutely nothing wrong with that ad. And by no means was there anything racial. If McCain is going to cave on ads simply pointing the beliefs of his opponent then he is going to be in a world of trouble this fall.
Howard “the scream” Dean must’ve overlooked that one pesky little thing called the 1st Amendment.
Oh well.
OK now, which one is McCain and which one is Howard Dean?
/weep for America
Yeeaaarrggh!
Whose side is McCain on?
To: Howard Dean
MSG: May the last peanut you eat be rotten.
Amazing. All this ad does is replay what Wright actually said. There is no negative spin or twisting of words. How could that be controversial?
He is trying to reach across the aisle – to Republicans. I hope that helps.
It IS a failure of his leadership, just like it was a failure of Huckabee’s leadership to not stop the push polling.
But that’s the POINT. The commercial was made by conservatives, and McCain doesn’t lead conservatives. He may gain a lot of Dem votes by decrying conservatives, but he’s losing more people every day on the other end of the political spectrum.
Soap,
Thanks for clearing that one up.
_____________________________________
Where’s all of the McCain supporters now?
Rush said just this morning that this is largely an attempt by the “Drive-By Media” (e.g. Chris Matthews) to define and to limit free speech during the campaign. He’s right, as he is most of the time.
Ultimately, anybody who argues anything against Obamarama will be described as a racist.
I’m beginning to think that the McCain campaign (and party under his “command”) will only need a very small tent to house all the occupants.
McCain won’t go negative because of what happened in South Carolina in 2000. Talk about chickens coming home to roost.
You know I really am beginning to wonder… Mexico’s?
In any event, with this move, he just lost ANY positive thoughts I had built up for him over the past few weeks.
lgm and Rusty are taking a break after getting soap in their eyes!
Since Raleigh is the state capital, it would not be surprising if the Democrats (led by Mike “invisible” Easley) would pressure WRAL to drop the ad. This election cycle is our chance to break the Democrat stranglehold in North Carolina and McCain’s stance has serious consequences.
Primaries he won with 20% Democrats voting in GOP Primaries.
Yes, he has a right to set the tone.
IF he wins in November.
That is why I won’t be voting for him in November.
Nobody can move the GOAL POSTS on the Right to the OLD CENTER except a winning GOP candidate.
He ain’t better than a Democrat, to me. He is WORSE.
And that is saying way too much.
Punk McNasty. You guys want to give him his revenge.
I’d rather see him pay the piper.
Personally I think it’s a perfect reason for me to send some money to the NCGOP and request that they keep the add on the air! I think I will, in fact! I can afford $10 for such an add!
The problem is that John McCain doesn’t have much political goodwill with his own party. He’s thumbed his nose at his own party so often, that when he starts sending the orders down to the lower ranks, he’s not getting a lot of respect. If he now capitulates to the DNC chairman, he’ll have even less pull with his own party. McCain better be crafting up a good response, telling Dean to mind his own business.
I’m taking Ann Coulter’s word over Punk McNasty’s for what happened in SC in 2000, it’s in one of her January ‘08 articles.
I think that Truth Squad is something he envied from Bill Clinton and his Bimbo Eruption Committee – and John McNasty is a man who LOVES his revenge on his POLITICAL ENEMIES.
#23:
It’s the same problem that Mark Steyn is having due to the “inflammatory,” “racist,” and “Islamophobic” elements in his book, America Alone. He just used real quotes from real people and real exerpts of the Koran and Islamic law, and yet he is being sued for hate speech…it’s crazy! We are committing racism and hate by showing video of a racist, hateful man preaching to thousands. That used to be called good reporting.
I was just beginning to feel a little more supportive towards McCain as well…
rpg1616:
Exactly! McCain scolded his own for daring to utter Barack’s middle name at a rally…(albeit several times over and over) but WTH? Like 30pcs said:
HUSSEIN…HUSSEIN…HUSSEIN. There….now sue me.
Hey, hey! All you conservatives just need to “calm down.”
/ducks
Could you imagine if Bush had a racist, hate-mongering “Reverend” like Obama does? Or if his bid for the Texas Governorship kickoff was held at the house of a known and admitted terrorist who was unrepentant? The left would be going bezerk with that news every minute of every day. But when it happens to one of their own…nothing to see here, move along.
This is one of many reasons I left the Democrat party. The other is the way they stabbed Bush and our country in the back repeatedly in the War On Terrorism. I am from New York and I knew many people who lost their lives on 9/11, including one of my best friends who was married with two lovely little girls. The way the Democrat party has tried to undermine almost everything after that is the reason I will never vote Democrat again. However, I am an independent, not a Republican. It’s just that Republicans have some ideas I believe in (lower taxes, less Gov’t regulation, etc…)
Here is a question for Howard Dean: Governor Dean: You are the chairman of the Democratic National Committee and Jimmy Carter is a former Democratic Party President and he is also a superdelegate to the Democratic National Committee. What steps did you take to prevent Carter from meeting with Hamas? Despite the nominal objections from Mrs. Clinton and Senator Obama, President Clinton went on the trip to meet with Hamas anyway. Doesn’t your failure to control Mr. Carter and your inability to persuade Mr. Carter not to meet with Hamas show a lack of leadership on your part? Are you, Governor Dean, so ineffectual that you can not prevent a prominent Democrat from meeting with leaders of a terrorist gang? Does the failure of Obama and Clinton to stop Carter from meeting with Hamas show a lack of leadership on their parts?
THAT is only HALF the issue…Dons of the Mafia do that quite well.
It requires a man of INTEGRITY.
McCain’s been carrying a BIG STICK for TOO LONG – Gang of 14, McCain Feingold Thompson, McCain Kennedy Shamnesty, Anti-Torture Amendment, demands crash course on DISCOURAGING TORTURE in the American Military…
And if people followed his preaching to its natural conclusion, if it is wrong to publish anti-Obama, anti-Democrat ADS – then it must be equally wrong to VOTE AGAINST Obama.
I think a LOT of Conservatives will take his advice and do that very thing.
I’ll be voting for a WRITE-IN CANDIDATE, though.
This is as calm as it will ever get for McNasty.
2 Chronicles 7:14
Numbers 16
When the good Lord sees fit to relieve us of our pain, then we will rejoice with great rejoicing.
McNasty won’t be the guest of honor at our celebration.
These “Mallard Fillmore” comics say it bette than I ever could.
http://jewishworldreview.com/strips/mallard/2000/mallard041408.asp
Punk McNasty?
The man was a prisoner of war and is an American hero. He deserves more respect than that.
You know I want to comment on this but I fear that I will be labeled a racist. You know the PC movement that does not allow anyone of the white race to comment on the racist tendencies of other races.
As a matter of fact I think people want me to apologize for being white even though I had nothing to do with segregation, Jim Crow laws or slavery.
Such a sad state that Americans are in due to the fact that we cannot seem to learn from the past and move forward.
We cannot change the past.
Good point.
He deserves and has gotten respect for his service. However, that no more excuses his current conduct than Obama’s color excuses his.
I personally just donated to the NC GOP and hope everyone who believes that this is the perfect ad for now and later in the general to do the same…..make the national GOP recognize that the money comes from the grassroots and the grassroots is itching for a fight against this Marxist.
I invite the usual liberals who comment here to explain how it is possible to twist the words “God damn America”.
As BO said, words have meaning. He’s right. I know exactly what Wright meant.
Well, I’m not sure how Michelle reaches her conclusion, but you’re gonna’ have a hard time convincing me, or any other Conservative/Republican, we’re taking our marching orders from Howard Dean…Or, pay any attention to what he says.
An update? I’m so confused… What do I do now?!
I agree with Jim Geraghty’s analysis:
It’s amazing the amazing how one can think clearly and critically when not filled with knee-jerk hatred of Sen. John McCain.
Ain’t THAT the truth.
heh,heh,heh
Lol. Whoops.
Note to self: preview button.
That’s what I get for trying to get ready for work and comment at the same time.
No worries. Obama can speak for everyone. ‘I can say things to african americans that other people can’t say’. And my favorite one…’I have lived in a primarily muslum country and can say things to them that others can’t’.
(paraphrased)
“claiming that if McCain doesn’t succeed in forcing the state party to withdraw its ad, it’s a failure of his “leadership” (read: bullying) skills”
and are you, michelle, actually wiling to carry water for howie dean by legitimzing that claim?!
let’s review — we have the “king” of the party of collectivism [who has managed NOT to choose a nominee yet] badgering the chosen nominee of the party that is supposed to be about individualism for choosing not to explcitly micromanage one particular action of one particular state party.
/as posted above, we’re supposed to care what howie dean says why? and that presupposes we are to give creditability to anything he does say in the first place?
McCain is obviously telling us that he does not need conservatives (our definition, not his) to win in November. He can sway enough Democrats to come over to his position. I don’t know whether he is correct or not, but I was wavering between holding my nose & voting for him & sitting the election out. This is one more step in the direction of sitting the presidential election out.

McCain is a weenie. Never give in to the Dems, didn’t the weenie republicans learn anything the past 8 years? Tell Dean to run his own party.
The grumpy old man is just hell bent on committing political suicide when it comes to conservatives and all they value. I am just dumfounded in the opening he gave Howard Dean on this issue. None of the above looks beter and better every day as my write-in vote for POTUS come November.
Geraghty? The guy who predicted, on the basis of exit polls, that Obama would win in PA? Is this a replay of the vaunted “strategery” that Bush was supposedly stumbling his way through everytime he disappointed the right? Like vetoing McCain-Feingold, and then signing onto it and saying that the SC would shoot it down. That worked out great.
No matter, I’m donating to the NC GOP, and I might even considering donating to Hillary after this:
McCain slams Bush’s Katrina relief
It’s not about Bush; it’s about pandering to Democrats and minorities. McCain obviously doesn’t need our votes. Good luck with that.
You mean like lock step behind McCain?
I’ll look around. I thought I saved the muslum one.

This is why McCain should have kept his big mouth shut about this ad in the first place. If someone later complained he could have just said, it’s not my place to tell them what to do with the ad. But he put himself out there like he has the respect of the party faithful (and I mean the real Republicans in the party, not the fake ones like himself). Not! I still can’t believe this man is our party’s choice! What a nightmare.
hm, so the ad has been pulled .. .

/HEH
Mr. Wright said, according to excerpts of the interview released Thursday.
Narcissistic projection alert. WRIGHT is the one who says things that are unjust, untrue, and he does it for some very devious reasons. Wright peddles REVOLTING HATE SPEECH as homily, which very sadly his congregation gleefully absorbs, it even seems to energize them. He’s wreaking the same kind of damage to young black minds that the madrassas in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan do to young Arab minds, damage which will take generations to undo. And it’s a damn shame.
Rev. Wright is obviously not very smart, because if I were him, I would keep my mouth shut and lay low until after the election.
P.S. According to the ABC News blog Political Radar, Senator Obama’s efforts to boost his foreign policy credentials include the following remarks in March of this year,
“If I go to Jakarta and address the largest Muslim country on earth, I can say, ‘Apa kabar,’ — you know, ‘How are you doing?’ — and they can recognize that I understand their common humanity. That is a strength and it allows me to say things to them that other presidents might not be able to say. And that’s part of what’s promising, I think, about this presidency.”
GOP denies report that it will pull ad. When I heard they had decided to pull the ad I was crushed. This is an issue for our State. We have lived under corrupt politicians for to long. The fight that the NC GOP is showing is refreshing, and long overdue. I donated what I could, and hope others will also. Hey, Obama is who he is, and must be exposed. If the GOP is afraid of the fight, they deserve to be the minority party in our new Socialist utopia.
I’m in Florida — you know, the place where hurricanes not-named-Katrina hit us in the same year, and the year before, and where we soldiered through without massive Federal government assistance — the place where skyrocking home insurance rates have contributed to the highest rate of foreclosures in the country?
McCain could care less about working Americans who shoulder their own responsibilities. Let’s talk about Katrina!
#74 sambo:
Okay. I completely disagree on the essence of this quote, but genuinely wanted to see what you were referencing.
Thanks, sambo.
Howard Dean can kiss my Conservative a**. This guy has a screw loose himself after his 2004 debacle. He’s one to talk with his demand that McCain get the ad pulled.
Hey, Howard, why don’t you worry about your own problems before you start meddling into somebody else’s business? You’ve already failed your leadership test because you can’t even friggin’ get a nominee for pete’s sake. Furthermore, you will disenfranchize Michigan and Florida just so Obummer can sit on his high horse of hypocrisy.
Here’s a hint, Howard: you keep your Wicked Witch of the East Shrillary and Winged Monkey #1 Obummer and the Republicans will deal with Winged Monkey #2 John McCain on their own.
Boo-freakin-hoo!
So, lemme’ see if I got the picture…
Wright on Video: “G’Damn America”
RNC in NC plays the Video, and McCain says: “Don’t play the Video”
Howard Dean says, “Yes…Listen to McCain.”
But, at the end of the day…
Wright is still on Video, sayin’: “G’Damn America”
over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, again…All the way through November.
go get ‘em Howard…heh,heh,heh

I’ve never liked how the government, and I’m including local and state, handled Katrina, especially when Florida had its rear handed to it the year before. The lack of preparedness still floors me, three years later, but what really offends me is the chest beating going on now that this is an election year. I’m no fan of Bush, but what does all the blaming do now? How do you move forward? What is McCain, or Clinton or Obama for that matter, going to do about the fact that insurance rates are making it extremely difficult for all Gulf Coast residents?
Not a fanatic, a fraud.
Uh, nothing. We have a Republican Governor, Charlie Crist, who ran on rolling back insurance rates and property taxes. He got elected, immediately signed on to global warming, complete with photo ops with Schwartzeneger in California.
He’s done nothing about property taxes, but he did, at the last moment, endorse McCain before the FL primary, which McCain won.
Thanks, Charlie. All hail the new GOP!
Out here in meat&potato-land, we want McCain to tear into the idjit democraps for being wussies on the war, and all the while trying to pick our pockets.
Not going to happen, I guess.
Is this the moment when the cowboy protagonist is pushed to the edge, like in the movies? I hope McCain calls Dean’s bluff and lays Obama’s guts out in the street for the crows to peck.
I mean, Obama is the off the left hand side of the scale, holed up in the gutter with the Weathermen and the Wrights, for crying out loud. Smack him down!
How’s this for a plan…
We’ll have the gov’t subsidize your insurance out of the taxpayer’s pocket.
Which will mean I, as a resident of Spokane, an area with little risk of hurricanes, will be paying for your insurance.
YAAAY !!!
ACTION ALERT FOR FELLOW NC VOTERS:
Send a message to McCain and the RINOs. Do not vote for him in the GOP primary. If we could keep him under 70%, he might realize he had better stop screwing conservatives.
Bad news:
Al-Reuters reporting NC-Reps are pulling ad!
http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSN2429689820080424?feedType=RSS&feedName=politicsNews

Actually, I had renter’s insurance to cover my losses, was able to clean out my apartment, and moved to DC, where I pay more than my share of taxes, thank you very much. I guess my taxes are helping you clean up after that random April snowstorm your area just had.
Vermont used to be a conservative state, once. Then they got Howard Dean and Jerry Rubin. It’s been downhill since then. And, that was when he was somewhat rational. The man has, for the past few years, been completely overboard in his antics. I suspect one day, some men in white coats will come and take him away, “scream” and all.
Opps…maybe not:
NC-Reps:
Ad will run..
http://www.charlotte.com/breaking_news/story/594910.html
The Republican party never learns; they will never score brownie points with any dem or the lefties in the MSM by playing nice with democrats. Since when does anybody have to apologize for telling thre truth about Wright, and BS artist Obama????? McCain and the RNC are full of sh*****t; and if they keep this up, Im one conservative who is about to change to independent, in search of a party that represents what I believe in; and what the current Republican party used to believe in. Color me….sick to death of faux Republicans in the WH and running for election for the WH.
Gee, the only interesting thing I found on al_Reuters was this:
From “Rogue’s” link:
So, the question is…
If it doesn’t have anything to do with Perdue and Moore, why do you have an objection to running it?…”Inflammatory”? to “who”?
Circle THAT square
Something tells me many sycophants such as yourself, wouldn’t believe anything negative about Mr. Hussein Obama if it hit you on the schnauze. (Obama, Wright, Ayers, Rezko, favorable treatment for gangbangers, voting present as a legislature, Michelle Obummer, etc…)
Recap of not too distant past…Hmmmm…OJ has victims blood on his socks….hmmmmmmm…..jury finds him innocent? I hope and pray this false guilt for a poor oppressed minority/white guy(BHO) doesn’t blind like it did with OJ. Americans must hold this long legged freak accountable for his “just words”.
The problem with most typical libs like yourself, seems to be that you feel a need to interpret for us unenlightened folks, what your fellow libtards really meant to say when they say something stupid!
What is the deal with McCain and his contempt for free speach? First, he stifles speech by pushing a ridiculous “campaign finance” law. Now, he is demanding that groups pull their television ads. What’s next? calling people who vocally oppose open boarders racists…oh wait…never mind.
How very frightening
Addendum to #93
The fact of the matter is, that Jeremiah Wright, has cast his net even farther, than just Obama.
It’s a reflection of the whole Party…The Party of Big Mouths & Small Ideas.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch
“Florida moves to ban fake testicles on vehicles”
“first they came for the trailer-hitch balls, and I said nothing”

If you use illegals or bash them, you are censored MOST of the time.
If you speak ill of the liberals, you’re in deep doodoo.
Everyone here should go visit and try to post! HAHA! A real eye-opener!
