Day 188:
Are these guys going to hurt us Walter?:
No Donnie, these men are cowards.
Fuck the republicans, and fuck John McCain for all the support he has given them over the years, making one right vote after a life time of wrong ones will not absolve you. I applaud Lisa Murkowski, and Susan Collins for staying true to some sort of moral principle.
