More Green Party Bullshit... (tags)
Just when you thought there was nothing more to say about the Green’s self-destructive behavior.

Abramoffgate: It’s the Same Sleaze, Just Bigger! (tags)

The biggest obscenity is this: Brave U.S. soldiers are dying in Iraq in a war sanctioned by the “most corrupt Congress in history,” and started by a wacky President - George W. Bush.
