[bluesc]

Look at that. "Surge", "top tier".

Badass.

[69360]

I've been looking and I see nothing negative about Ron today in the news. Can't say that for the others.

Tipping point anyone?

[smithtg]

if there is negative stuff, its always petty or about Iran, or about how the socialist state wont survive with President Paul. The others always have negative news because of how fake they are and its easy to dig up dirt on them
