The arrogant bastards, Schultz, & Rhodes on talk radio, Markos @ KOS, the borg at the democrat underground. LIARS, marxist sock puppets for obama.
Let them squirm in pain over this investigation, Go ahead randi, screech your rambling, angry, hate filled venom for your 9 listeners, then go soak your head in the same sauce ed has been for years.
The 4 years of zer0 are half gone, Tea Party is rolling back the legislation, but the damage caused to the economy, our International relationships and our currency should be reasons to impeach an remove the pResident
