Obama re-election could spawn increase in domestic terrorism
#gop #obama #terrorism I’ll just call it right now – if Obama is re-elected and the Democrats re-take congress, you will see a dramatic increase in far-right domestic terrorism. Unfair? True! Look for a dramatic large scale terror attack on the scale of Oklahoma City or worse. I say this

Or to put it another way, 83.4% Batshit (and the jury’s still out on Ron Paul). Jon Huntsman, the only thing between the GOP Presidential Primary Field and its own category in the DSM-IV, has left run screaming from the building: Jon M. Huntsman Jr. informed his advisers on Sunday
Continue reading“When Mitt Romney Came to Town”
This is a devastating ad by Newt Gingrich. It is a brutal attack on Mitt Romney. No, it’s actually a slap across the face of capitalism unbound. Right wingers are shocked, disappointed and plain livid. Their outlaw hero Newt has gone Occupier. No Democrat would have dared been so nakedly
