"He aint even a good RINO. If there was ever a good RINO." Your right. He paid his dues as a POW. The Senator is the Manchurian Canidate. Not from the new movie, the one from the fifties. I respect him though I'm afraid of him.
That in no way qualifies him to be a U.S. Senator! Not unless being a passenger on a 747 qualifies you to fly it!
