Why?
Because it shows just how much the Democrats are cracking up. And I’m tickled pink to think that the Dems will self-destruct and [...]

Turns out, though, that he might have jumped the gun.
Oh, Senator McCain is still leading with 26% to Governor Huckabee’s 24%, with Rep. Ron Paul at 21%, with 87% of the votes counted.

Some cry “racism” every chance they get.
Some stage protests every chance they get.
Some start blogs…

And, I really don’t plan to talk about that first group. But you know who that group is.
It’s that middle group.
