This is what they'd like you to believe; however, inevitably, deserving voters will be knocked off diva77 Feb 2019 #15

Judicial Watch is a right wing organization -- so I'm not sure I'm understanding what diva77 Feb 2019 #17

They follow law, not people. SPLC does, too (more "left"). akraven Feb 2019 #18
