i just started watching it now

watch the damn debate...and cheer on Johnson! it's fun! i like both candidates, but i much prefer Johnson to win...good patriot (i don't really care about the Moscow thing, i was half-joking anyway)...Barnes is soft on crime commie, but i like his personality, ironically enough

Ron Johnson, earlier: "I've suggested that the EPA rather than focus on CO2, focus on these pollutants that really are harmful."
