  1. Whoa!!!

    Let's show some compassion for the tards here. One of their major kool-aid suppliers has gone belly-up. You will see Here4Richter, TonyTard, and Freddy Foreskin wandering around in a daze, trying to establish a connection with the Mothership circling the Hale-Bopp Comet to see what their new instructions are.

    Not sure if Ex-Groper is still alive and on this forum but if so, that should reduce his post count by about 50%.

  3. Yeh, either that or it was and that is all they had going for them.

    The Mueller Gazette sort of pooped out a bit when Mueller showed up to impersonate Joe Biden and say that he had never heard of Fusion GPS.
     
  4. History and mission[edit]
    The Center for American Progress was created in 2003 as a left-leaning alternative to think tanks such as the Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute.[7]

    Since its inception, the center has assembled a group of high-profile senior fellows, including Lawrence Korb, Assistant Secretary of Defense under President Ronald Reagan; Gene Sperling, Director of the National Economic Council under Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama; Ruy Teixeira, political scientist and author of The Emerging Democratic Majority; and, most recently, former Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle and Elizabeth Edwards, late wife of former presidential candidate and former U.S. Senator from North Carolina John Edwards. Sarah Rosen Wartell, a co-founder and executive vice-president of the center, has been named President of the Urban Institute[8]

    The center helped Congressman John Murtha (D-PA) develop "strategic redeployment",[9] a comprehensive plan for the Iraq War that included a timetable and troop withdrawals.
