Is it tribal instinct, or just an honest dislike of transparent bigotry?

Stick to partisan arguments. Humor isn't your strong suit.

I voted for Cali as well. He's a Cougar Fan and I doubt that's his only redeeming attribute.

Huck's VP aspirations evaporated when Romney dropped out. That's when McCain dropped Huck from his top five and quit taking his calls.
