  • One of my favourites

    In my nightly line up of podcasts, if the Posse is there it goes to the top of my list.

    There is never a personal attack. The comments are respectful, the arguments are thoughtful. Well done.

  • Disappointed

    I was very disappointed in your softball interview of James Carville. This man along with the rest of his ilk have the blood of millions of unborn children on his hands yet you decided to let him dance around his reasoning for supporting abortion. I thought you were better than this. I was wrong.
