ReplyDeleteThank you for that video.
ReplyDeleteGreat video.... except for highlighting Rush Limbaugh, who I find to be a dishonest, disingenuous gas bag who is so polarizing as to not be persuasive to the conservative cause.
ReplyDeleteYou can't explain away 6 trillion in 4 years.
ReplyDeleteGreatest few minutes of my life since Montana's drive in the '89 Super Bowl. Damn good video, Czabe.

ReplyDelete"I voted for a black guy! Aren't I enlightened?!"
They never stop to think that this guy is spending us into bankruptcy. All that counts for them is, "This guy is black and I voted for him. How cool am I?"
Fucking idiots.
