The chickens, having come home to roost, consumed Boehner… Nixon made a deal with the devil by opening the Republican party to southern racists, and, now, almost 50 years later, the party is paying the price

CPAC and Occupy…. Anything that makes Andrew Breitbart go this fucking nuts, has to be good

By Mark | February 12, 2012
