Would you mind adjusting your subject line, please? And maybe lute year in? I think it really goes to show that this is a life long commitment for him!

That's how we treat people who step up and join the military.. right Clintons??????????? Glad we had a real Democrat willing to stand there and call this bigot out! We can vote to fight or vote to cave...

Sure was nice to see Pat Schroeder! I miss her.

3. About that guy Duke Cunningham -

From Wikipedia:

"Cunningham resigned from the House on November 28, 2005, after pleading guilty to accepting at least $2.4 million in bribes and under-reporting his taxable income for 2004. He pleaded guilty to federal charges of conspiracy to commit bribery, mail fraud, wire fraud and tax evasion. He was sentenced to eight years and four months in prison and was ordered to pay $1.8 million in restitution.[1] On June 4, 2013"

Seems he was a highly decorated vet who got an over-inflated opinion of his worth and self. Interesting bio:
