  • Unleashing Grassroots Creativity

    Number of comments: 8
    One of the things I love about the Huckabee campaign is that the Governor still doesn’t have the kind of big bucks necessary to hire expensive consultants, so he relies heavily on his grass roots supporters to provide creativity.

  • Saddam cried like a baby

    It’s funny how the lib controlled press carefully picks and chooses what is told to the American public. While we (the powers that be, who ever they are) ponder what to do about Iran, little is said about the fact that Saddam pondered the same. It would now seem that the [...]
