Good for the GOP...!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, who called 1-800-rent a set?
I sure hope they learn to like having a set.

I’m so proud I could burst! But I don’t want to get pizza and beer on my laptop, so I won’t.
Way To Go Senator Jeff Sessions!
Excellent.
Obama must not be allowed any reccess appointments. Though I don’t know if this can be prevented indefinitely.
Yes, excellent!
Breath by breath, step by step, the Marxist Muslim must be stopped.
Will the real GOP stand up? First, the GOP rolls over for the media and then they make a stand.
Pick a side and quit confusing voters.
