Grampa Dave, thank you for your fine statement:
"I can't help but feel the real shame is on us, the American voters. We continue to let our troops, our heritage and our nation down by sending the dreggs of our society to represent us at the highest levels"
I would like to add
"and we send our finest citizens in harm's way to protect them"
sp
We send out best and brightest into harms way, and then send criminal, perverts and the dregs of society to DC as elected members of Congress.
