First, the organization spent almost twice as much helping re-elect Republicans as it spent helping Democrats. Second, reporters reviewed email correspondence that showed No Labels contemplating a plan to attack Pelosi and use her leadership as a wedge to divide congressional Democrats. And third, its clear that No Labels never had any meaningful ultimatums or demands on rules for leadership during eight years of a Republican-led House, or over the last four years of a Republican-led Senate. No Labels only has challenges for Democratic leadership in the House, specifically, for our next speaker, Nancy Pelosi.That sure seems like a label to me.

Use to tune in when he was on Tom Hartmann,he did mention this fake group no labels,and something about the group smelled from the get go.
Now we need to smoke out Mark Penn and his fakery.

and question motives. The fools born every minute aren't all Republicans by any means, and don't these people know it.
