Well, there's a news flash.

However, Chris Shays has extremely little room to bellyache about other pols disregarding the Constitution for political expediency.

Yeah. But you brainwashed fucktards weren't smart enough to get Ron Paul put up as the contender .I s'pose since he wasn't a murderous war criminal with his Bible in hand like the previous Nazi regime.

He would have beaten Osama bin Leroy with ease but the repugniscum idiots were hell bent for soldier McSame, the POW that was shot down while shooting at a factory full of women making light bulbs. A true Amerikkastanian hero !

Fucking AmericanT.....................Idiot nation.
