No it isn't, Robert.

 Anyone who wants to rummage through several years of my archives can see it.

They would waste their time for nothing.

I have no "crowd." I have been reading Crossfire for more than six months.

 For at least the past month at least 80% of the traffic

That is a lie.

What "drooling right wing fanatics" would you be referring to, Robert?

....speaking of personal attacks and cheap shots...

No, actually Bob Sakowski started ALL-POLITICS along with Stan Hardegree and
John Hull. Are you now going to claim that Sakowski is a "drooling right wing
fanatic?"

So, now you are going to speak for everyone who no longer posts in CROSSFIRE?
