RNC Sham 2012

Posted by Jon McKeone

    Whether they're RINOs or not - the party has be...  more

    Jon McKeone It is challenging for anyone to follow rules when they clearly demonstrated they can be changed on a whim at the last minute. You'd think after a couple hundred years of elections the process would be old hat by now.

    Jonathan Cousar Well, the only reason they had to be changed was because the Ron Paul people were trying to CHEAT by breaking them!
