Who is laughing all he way to the bank now?
I believe it’s Rush. President Obama and the Democrats should wave the white flag in their strawman war on Rush Limbaugh. The Media Research Center delivered the grim casualty figures for the Democrats. Since January, the top talk show gabber’s … Continue reading

The Cape Coral city council fears success of the tea party! The bureaucrats got in the way and did their thing. Reading the comments I think it will happen anyway. These are the type of roadblocks I would expect from … Continue reading

Typical
Another anti-Republican rant by none other than RC LLoyd. I’m hard pressed to determine what RC’s concern is. Is he trying to convert Republicans to his cause? That seems laughable, but if he’s not trying to convert them then he … Continue reading
