McDermott is one, big horse's ass. There is absolutely zip for excuse for such despicable, childish behavior. If he doesn't like what this country stands for, tell him to get the hell out.
And for Heaven's sake, Washington State, would you people WAKE UP and fire this moron next election, once and for all?????
It's not the people of Washington that keep reelecting McDumbott, it's the people of his district. He represents the "Central District" (primarily Blacks, immigrants and assorted minorities) and the Gay community. Unfortunately many of them love the jerk, and there's virtually no chance of replacing him with an American.
Our only hope is that his little ploy of leaving "under God" out of the Pledge of Allegiance may upset some of the religious Blacks. Then again, they can usually be counted upon to put their Democrat allegiance ahead of God and country, no matter how bad the Democrat candidate. That (D) behind the candidate's name sadly takes precedence over everything else.
