Who Dat Man!!??
At boy t'ink ju's lahk me, t'rough an' t'rough!

I remember watching the 2004 Democratic Convention, and the big buzz of the day was this charismatic speaker from the Illinois Senate that just simply sent tingles up the legs of every Left-Wing whackado on planet earth. And as we all know, that certain charismatic speaker from the Illinois Senate was one Barack Hussein Obama.

So is it too early for me to get fired-up over someone in 2012? Why not? Especially in light that the GOP just got their asses handed to them on every level... and I mean handed to 'em on Biblical proportions. Literally and figuratively, we just got our butts whipped by the jawbone of an Ass.

Anyhow, here are a few stats that I'd like you to take a gander at and see if these opinions match yours. I know damn good and well they don't jive with much that the now bleeding profusely "moderates" in the Republican Party espouse.

And besides... he's a good Catholic boy!
