the media time given to these gadflies keeps everything pulled to the right. Who is often quoted from the Democrats - not even Pelosi. She is usually mentioned when the RW has a jab for her.

they want to blather on about bowel movements, the "liberally-biased media" falls all over themselves getting a microphone in their pie-hole.

enough. Lindsey is a show horse just like his boyfriend. Plus, he's running for reelection against a Teabagger, so he has to try and stay in the spotlight.

trouble maker and one of the main reasons the country is so fucked up. As much as he has obstructed and caused harm to the country, it is almost on the edge of treason. Absolutely no concern for the American people.
