I wonder whose taxes are paying for the attacks by the spammers?
I dunno, I think they're probably just kids who flunked out of college with the mentality of 2 year olds.

On Monday, March 15th, Congressman Burton spoke to Congress on the need to continue our defense of Israel. At a time when we should be worrying about Iran, a country that has a nuclear development program that threatens the entire Middle East, we should not be criticizing Israel and we need to support them in every way possible.

I think we should stop supporting and subsidizing Israel.
And there is no evidence that Iran is building nuclear weapons. That is more evil nonsense from the war-mongerers and our stupid press.
And anyone who claims otherwise obviously DID NOT LEARN A DAMN THING FROM THE WMD LIES.
