155. There is no way to stop it...because the fucking Greens and left left riffraff elected George Bush

who packed the courts and ushered in United...now some of you seem to think that Democrats should be all high and mighty and not take the money...that happened by the way during Obama's time in office; there was a rule implemented at the DNC...did you see any winning? We have to win before we can address the money and starving our candidates is not the way to go. The rule about money has been rescinded and thank God for that. In Ohio, they gave up on our gubernatorial candidate in a month or two...only those who were convincingly ahead got money because there wasn't any damn money...so some purist may enjoy losing and wring their hands sobbing, 'the Dems must take the high road', and watch the GOP literally kill people and steal our rights one by one, but I want to win and stop those bastards...so we do what we have to in order to win...or it really doesn't matter.
