I have no doubt some number of Idaho legislators also belong to one of these radical groups.

If terrorists are clever enough to influence legislation about terrorism, maybe they're not mentally ill.

He is white trash that keeps running for office but so far has been handily defeated. He is a 3%er. His house looks like white trash, crap scattered everywhere.

Thank God he will never be elected. Sounds like someone to keep BOTH EYES on though. Be careful!
