Call it signs of desperation or just down right hatred, but what the California Republicans have done now are new lows: State investigators have linked a Republican campaign to letters sent to thousands of Southern California Hispanics warning them they could go to jail or be deported if they vote next month, a spokesman for […]
This past spring we read headlines of how “the brain is back”. Of course they were talking about Karl Rove, who came back strong into the political arena once he was cleared in the Valerie Plame leak case. Shortly after that, Rove remained the headline.
