Proof Democrats are corrupt and the only way to defeat them is to fight them, not hug them as the RINOs do.
Four Americans were killed in Benghazi, but that is the tip of the proverbial iceberg, if Team Obama was “walking” shoulder-fired heat-seeking missiles to Al Qaeda.
Which part of the UCMJ did he violate?
So every serving military officer, and all officer appointments are senate confirmed, should quit?
