You guys, did you see this ginormous article investigative report dealio about Move America Forward, the "support the troops" group that scammed everyone, including your angry uncle, into giving them a kazillion dollars for care packages that were going to go to the troops but actually went fuck if we know where? Yes, yes, we know the article appeared yesterday, but that thing was like one million words long and also too we had to keep starting over because we were laughing so hard.
Of course it's his fault. He didn't take a strong leadership position like a Putin or a Netanyahu and lead our country to crushing victory thus leaving our poor troops to languish in the field.
I donate to the USO from time-to-time. They're probably on the up-and-up. They rent my name/address to some other organizations for fund-raising. Wounded Warriors, for example. But I also get letters from the the far fringes of right-wing world: Heritage, Larry Klayman's hatepit, the NRA and so forth. Usually those envelopes say "Stop Obama Before It's Too Late!".
I'm dismayed that these organizations regard people (like me) who donate money for the troops as a sympathetic audience for their overtly Republican political messaging. The implication is that our volunteer military has become somewhat partisan. That's not good for America.

I&#039;m surprised that Sarah Palin wasn&#039;t in on this. Sounds like her kind of grift.
Most food items, including tea and coffee, are taxed a low rate in Missouri. This terrible injustice has not driven the teabaggers away.
someone needs to staple this article, printed in reverse, to Darrel Issa&#039;s forehead so he can read it every morning in the mirror.

it&#039;s too bad that the IRS was so busy investigating Tea Party-affiliated groups that they didn&#039;t have ti - Wait.
