Which we knew before the Obama victory. Both of them, actually. Good thing we’re allowed, finally, to speak of it, though. That way we can vent without fear of turning off those moderates and independents who went and voted yet again for Obama! Checkmate!

“Ex-GOP Chair: Florida Voting Laws Were Meant to Suppress Democratic Vote”
Or, “bitter dismissed embezzler looks to harm the GOP by giving cover to Democrat talking points and is corroborated by establishment-backed loser Charlie Crist, who like establishment-backed losers Dick Lugar or Lisa Murkowski or the late Arlen Specter seem to care less about what party they back so long as they maintain power.
