Some Republicans are demanding a balanced budget amendment as a condition for raising the debt limit — why not just vote against the increase?

Saw this television Ad yesterday during the golf tournament. Incredible and unbelievable. I thought it was a parody at first. Full of lies — kind of reminds me of the Kerry/Edwards claim that Chris Reeve would be walking today if Kerry was elected.
Right out of the gate, Brocko Bama gives political correctness the kibosh! He makes fun of Nancy Reagan and then phones her to apologize. The he compares himself to my dog! ‘Our preference is to get a shelter dog, but most shelter dogs are mutts like me.’ My dog is still waiting by the phone for a call from Chicago. I’ll let you know what | Read More »
