[freakscene]

i'm 'all over' 'palin crap' because i suspected the idea to be wrong, and looked it up?

i'm still waiting for you to start a socialized health care thread

[BuyOnDips]

The problem with the left and main stream media constantly smearing Palin on false charges is akin to constantly crying wolf. After awhile, nobody will even pay attention to the attacks, even if some are true, because of all the lying in the past.
