1. YES! Cause the GOP can be controlled by anyone or group that hates sanity

Everyone ran for office as a ReTHUG. They are all responsible for this mess.

5. Is it really all that different than in the 90s?

Didn't we see much of this before in the crusade to get Bill Clinton's head served up on a plate?

6. Yes it is different

Very different. This generation of rethugs is way more vile then the rethugs of the 90's and now thanks to the nra they have more guns.
