Calling all Obama Supporters...

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22936) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 24 Jan 12

Chiang_Mai_boy Kind of silly to try to enter into a discussion with someone who thinks that defining the President of the United States as an "anal fissure" represents a high level of debate.

Since you insist on doing things the same way they're doing it in Illinois, what are you going to do to avoid becoming just as broke? Don't blame your coming debt crises, mass lay offs and skyrocketing taxes on anyone but...

Why isn't Ron Paul leading in the GOP race?

ladybugmagic @ladybugmagic (3978) • United States 22 Sep 11

I am not being facetious or snide, but shouldn't he be the front-runner, especially among the tea party? Why is Rick Perry winning the polls?
