Election ?08: HOPE vs. HATE
2008-10-17 21:08:00 I make no bones about it, I am voting Obama, and I want you to do the same.

Let?s Be Frank, Shall We?
2008-10-01 01:23:00 Watch this video at YouTube One of the biggest complaints against Democrats, and the Left in general, is that they lack the focus and efficacy of the Right in terms of “winning” in politics; to put it less delicately: they don’t have any balls.
