Can’t we make them happy by giving Diebold ann Halliburton

Then can we start some Homeland Security that actually
protects the homeland?

They have to have the machines rigged. They really want to be on record against port security, after the Dubai controversy?

It won’t be long now, Frame, Rush’s show just started. Or Rush will ignore it, like Hannity does when it is something that can’t be spun.

Maybe it was the Republican Congress’ evil twin that voted against port security and for Al Queda?
