Ken Mehlman Address at Southern Republican Leadership Conference

A few excerpts (via GOP.com) Do Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean really think that when the NSA is listening in on foreign terrorists planning attacks on America, they need to hang up when those terrorists dial their sleeper cells here in the United States?

DB Ports World Backs Out. Sort Of

Interesting.

In a flowing, gushy editorial, disguised as a story, AP writer Marc Humbert proves he really knows nothing about Hillary, nor about the poll that said only 16% of people would vote for her.
