Easy: in office too long thus out of touch!

The Washington political buddy touch. One smile and pat on the back with a boot on the back of your neck and a hand grabbing your wallet in perpetuity.

Thank God there is still something that confounds the elites and oligarchs of this country. They probably will not learn humility, but perhaps at least they will learn caution.

They’ve had a great run of many decades, using America’s leading position to run up massive debt in our fake, fiat currency, conduct their hideous government sponsored social-engineering experiments, and to skim and gather for their own benefit.

“Would be hard to tell the difference. He was the least healthy looking man I’d ever met in person.”

He looks about like every other Scotch Jewish Senator I’ve ever seen!

Jim DeMint is working to move legislative control away from K Street, so when these RINOs are retired next Nov. they actually WILL have to work for once.

Toomey exposed and ousted Specter, and now he is becoming another sellout. Sad. DC is poison.

The only good news is, neither he nor any of those who thought this way will learn a damned thing as a result.

Unfortunately, neither do the ones that keep re-electing these douche-bags.

Plenty of party plantation living that think as long as there’s a (R) by their name, they’re good enough for ‘em.

No. The single most important adjective: CAREER

All this does is demonstrate that Toomey has been in DC way too long and needs to spend an equal amount of time in Scranton or Wilkes-Barre Club Fed for fraud, graft, kick-backs, etc.

Fixed it for you.

A heavy lift because most are corrupt. ....ALL can be bought...the only 'work' they do is locate where the next revenue bundle is they can grab to line their own pockets.

“..”It was Hillary’s Turn to be President.”.....”

And it would have worked but for Donald Trump and 60+ million Deplorables.

Trump had teased running before, but this time he actually did it.
The Second “Shot Heard Round The World”?
