Is there no other reasons why Mike Villines will resign?
Now you people know why I left the party — they eat their own. Adams, Ashburn, Miller and now Huff. And Villnius. A return to Thunderdome. What do the crazies in the Republican Party want? Their relevance is voting for the budget. They should be careful to maintain their 1/3 1 “minority.”
