I do agree we won't go anywhere with him being on the Joyce Foundation board. Civil libertarians usually speak out against restrictions on "hate speech" and "politically incorrect" speech. They also are usually for ending the war on (some) drugs. I'd like to also here him say something against the red-light money cameras too.

So then she had her people call Obama by his middle name, and it worked. Then she has her people show a picture where he is dressed in tribal garb, which looked pretty Muslim, and it worked. Hillary's got it. Who needs wrestling when there is a Democratic Presidential Primary? Hillary tried crying, and it worked. So then she had her people call Obama by his middle name, and it worked.
