It's insane Capt. Obvious Mar 2014 #33

nice headline hfojvt Mar 2014 #14

I smell desperation this early. Rex Mar 2014 #17

my own fear hfojvt Mar 2014 #19

Yes, I think they've caught onto the fact that social engineering works Rex Mar 2014 #21

sometimes it works for Democrats though hfojvt Mar 2014 #24

What we need is a liberal version of the M$M. Rex Mar 2014 #26

Really bad headline. tritsofme Mar 2014 #22
