E-Mail From Bert, the Samoan Lawyer

Commenting on some recent events, and quite interesting: How many of the purported Republicans and/or conservatives that have been pronouncing Romney a sure loser in the last three weeks are among those that, during the primaries, said the GOP had to nominate him because he was the only one who could win?

Barack Obama At Loyola In 1998: ‘I Actually Believe In Redistribution’

VIDEO: ‘A Prairie Fire of Debt’

“A prairie fire of debt is sweeping across the nation. And every day we fail to act, that fire gets closer to the homes and the children we love. And rather than putting out the spending fire, President Obama has been feeding it. He has spent more and borrowed more. The time has come for […]
