We aren't using the Education or HHS department money to fund MoveOn. There's a big difference. Did Clinton do VNR's and such? Absolutely. It's wrong across the board. America the government shouldnt be trying to win over America the people with propaganda. That's just wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
