The link has to do with Democrats, not Republicans as I mentioned. The topic if the thread was about republicans - yet you try to divert attention elsewhere you do not help make your point. Regardless of how people feel about Democrats, it does not change how I feel about the republican party, as a whole, handle the 'nut jobs' - the same can be said of democrats - someone from the Democratic party should have publicly slammed the guy who thought Guam would top over, for instance.
