[limpyhobbler]

Organizing for Action, the offshoot of President Obama’s campaign committee, is now supporting Republicans — a few of them, at least.

1. Your OFA donation dollars helping keep Paul Rand and Aaron Schock in office.

the vote. I don't know too many democrats or independents that would turn down a vote in support of a path to citizenship, but I'm not going to go around knocking on people's doors telling people what a great guy he is.

3. Glad I never gave 'em money

They're out there supporting my GOP congress critter. The guy that displaced Grayson by the by.

You could get in trouble at DU for doing something like this.

Somebody must have shit for brains.
