Even if enough Iowans don’t listen to Rush in time most Americans are. If he happens to survive Iowa with a his skin it will be downhill from there in my opinion. Thankfully. The only person worse for the country out of the Republican side is Rudy, and Huck is starting to [...]

Fred Thompson Too Sane for President?
