In Palin we trust

Woe betide anyone with a sticker on his car for liberal Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif. This according to freshman Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who advocated for loosening the District of Columbia's gun laws from the House floor on Tuesday night.

"Bad guys aren't dumb, they are just bad," said Jordan, "and here is the dynamic that is at work. If you have a bad guy, a bad guy out there on the street trying to figure out which home he is going to rob some night, and there are two adjacent properties side by side. In one driveway is a pickup truck with a gun rack and a bumper sticker that says, 'I love the NRA' and 'Palin for President.'"

In the very next driveway, you have a Volkswagen with a Greenpeace bumper sticker and, respectfully, 'Waxman for President' bumper sticker as well, which place do you think he is going to target for a crime?"

So hurry up and buy those Sarah Palin stickers, D.C.

I disagree with Congressman Jordan. I would rob the Republican house because they are more likely to be rich.
