Haven't posted here in ages ... but just heard something on the radio I wanted to share ... [View all]

Mike Huckabee stated today and I paraphrase "No wonder Donald Trump is leading in the Republican poles ... he's got 10 to 1 coverage on everyone else in the media to the rest of us" blah blah blah ... etc... etc... Brought in mind to me "Citizens United". Ya think our elections can't be bought? Think it through and think again. Just thought it interesting that this concept would be brought forward by someone on the Republican side. Funny stuff if it wasn't so serious to the integrity of our elections. Peace out.
