DeafRepublicans2008, and they also explored the issue of politicians flashing the 'I love you' sign.
Sadly Deaf Republicans 2008 Godwinned themselves recently, which was a real shame because they had a rather off kilter but endearing brand of vitrol with hyperbole, dead horse whipping, and a patented leap-for-the-throat ad hominem fighting style in any of the comments in any blog post if someone dissents. You might disagree with their stance on the issues, but gosh darn it, they're frequently going off-message for AMERICA!
I don't know where I'm going with this, I was going to make a point about one issue of 'Foreign Affairs' giving me a year's worth of reading material with a single issue, and I've still got a stack of unread issues from 2007 and well-reasoned, informative, and balanced articles have no place in the elections in America. Unless, of course, you're a socialist with a too-small American Flag lapel pin or something.

Nitpick: Obama wore a flag pin in all three debates. McCain did not.
