That would be helpful. It's important to have a progressive voice of opposition to intervention.

No one who knows anything about him would come to the conclusion that he's anything but a right wing,racist,teabagging idiot.

Will someone explain his expertise or Senate prominence to me, please? I'm not sure why there would be a response at all. It's not a SOTU, it's a foreign policy speech.

and he truely believes that the majority of the country hang on his every word, when 99% of the country hates his every word.

"There is something really, really sad about you. This excessive concern with little weasels is a sickness.

You are devoting your life to weasels.

It is a sign of something wrong in your personality."

That he will need to take a long, cool sip of water during his remarks. Just like his hapless counterpart, Marco Rubio.

I think I may just watch the ferret-faced Kentuckian.

It's interesting to see how the African-American Democratic, and democratically elected president is treated compared to the corporate bastard and drunkard AWOL Piece of Sh*t bush was treated.

Never should America put up with any lying GOP pigs. STFU, you dirty rotten bastard lying Republican traitors!
