That is about as bad as it gets.

And yes, I am glad my father and uncles are no longer with us.
They would be horrified and furious.

Of course, Bush/Cheney sold us out too.
To Halliburton, the military industrial complex, and the Banks.

The GOP is not a political party, it is a crime syndicate.
And we can argue which crimes are worse, but it is all bad.
