43. The Crime That Will Keep On Costing
Sun Feb 17, 2013, 01:50 AM
Feb 2013

I blame Bush/Cheney/Rumsfield/Wolfowitz/ etc, that whole bunch and just as much big media for gross enabling with prejudice and pom poms.

And now - The R's drone on about Obama and the debt when they know it's the bogus war expense and tax cuts for their wealthy buddies/donors. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out witch tells us how dumb most of the tea party is.

Now if only people like Chuck Todd and David Gregory would do their jobs instead of licking the R's boots so the people that are trying to run the US in the ground won't cut off their access.

After going through the pain of watching Cheney on Charlie Rose the other night, I have no doubts at NRaleighLiberal Feb 2013 #1
