Norml posted this in the Nebraska forum, but I felt a wider audience should be able to see how low the right will go in this country, even when it comes to a silly city council seat.

3. disgusting

It must be a requirement of GOP membership to be a mean-spirited piece of crap. I wonder who he considers a "good Democrat"? Let me guess - Zell Miller, and everyone else is a socialist.
