In other words if you are a republican in those days you'd be a democrat now. Unless you get real conservative after living a few hundred years and that happens. Oh I was reading a comic book about George Washington. In the real world. Paper. Ink. So it was not the internet. But the outernet. Proving once again "its always what you don't think". And just when you think you know what's going on.
