The swine flu deal seems to get more bizarre by the day. Are we the only Nation that has not banned travel to Mexico?
Travis, I think Specter will win the socialists' nomination next year, but his political career is over. Mark him gone. I just don't believe he can be re-elected, even as a Democrat. I have never liked this guy, he has been a traitor to the Republican Party and the conservative cause since the Reagan era, and Ronnie himself didn't like the man!!
