    there should be a special method of execution for these reprobates who kill the innocent with explosive devices. They should go out the same way as their victims.

    Six more murdering criminals that would still be on the streets if the Dems had gotten their cut-n-run ways.

    But hey, as long as Nancy got new curtains, Harry get’s to pretend he’s CIC, Algore get’s rich on the latest scam and Michelle is finally proud….isn’t that what’s really important in the world?
