Janet is a former Democrat recently turned Republican recently turned…well, she doesn’t know what she is anymore, but she doesn’t seem to be fond of either Democrats or Republicans.

The US Tax System Explained

Karl Rove – Political Consultant to the Democrats

I didn’t know much about Karl Rove until the Democrats started trying to get him to fired and/or locked up. Karl Rove was, from their perspective, the political genius who managed to get a complete idiot in the White House two times, and he had to be taken down.
