    Lincoln Continues To Get Trounced By Boozman

    So, Democrat thug Rep. Etheridge offers the typical non-apology apology after footage of him assaulting a young man was posted on youtube.

    Earlier today, while Aaron was combing through his morning emails, one particular email stood out. Folks, Aaron can’t divulge his sources for the picture he was emailed, but he guarantees its authenticity. In the picture you can clearly see Willy Folks, Larry Marchant, Nikki Haley (in the top hat), and Andre Bauer. Clearly there was an inappropriate relationship. Aaron B. Gardner

    Does Chuck DeVore Have The Momentum?

    After the SUSA poll came out, Erick and I both wrote in support of Chuck DeVore.

As the day progressed and the standard arguments fleshed out, I realized that | Read More »

His detractors should take notice – this primary ain’t over yet. Here are the highlights of the debate showing why I | Read More »
