35. Follow The Money. Duh!
Fri Nov 8, 2013, 03:47 PM
Nov 2013

Kind of like a dog bites man story. Well, last Tuesday the Koch brothers didn't get very much for their money. George Wallace couldn't take over the Democratic Party and remnamts of that faction, back by big money out to make a profit, will not be able to take over the Republican Party either, Citizens United notwithstanding. Frankly, I'm surprised that Rand Paul hasn't talked about "pointy headed liberals" and then we would know that things have gone full circle.
