– Implicated in voter caging: While Priebus was chair of the Wisconsin GOP, the state party engaged fomented voter fraud conspiracies and hatched a voter caging plot with well-funded right-wing allies to suppress minority votes. One Wisconsin Now Executive Director Scot Ross said, “When voter suppression allegations have surfaced in Wisconsin for the past decade, the name Reince Priebus isn’t far behind.”

So there’s a new face, but it’s still the same old party.

1. He thanked Jesus for winning him the position as RNC chairman...

I'm sure Jesus has a special fondness for moneygrubbing Republicans.

4. Were there 97 Jesus' dressed as R's in that group?

This is precisely one of those whom Jesus spoke to watch out for, those that desire power at the expense of everyone else; trapped by his own hubris and vanity, he will fall as so many have before him. Hypocrites rarely survive scrutiny, although when exposed, little is done to stop them or their followers.

The general consensus seems to be something along the lines of "rancid penis."
Is that correct?
