How many more lives will be lost before other living, breathing, desperate human beings are helped?

1. Rethugs have exhibited a callus and irresponsible disregard for humanity. The
elements that made this country great have been thrown away by the Rethugs only interested in personal gain and wealth with no regard for America than themselves.

2. Mitch McConnell, Sir, is a Murderer: Killing a Man Is No More Than Eating a Peach To Him

His only question is; will this help the rich men who own me body and soul get richer quicker? If the answer was yes, he would set his own mother on fire with a smile.

7. A man died so Mitch could score Political points
That Sir, is what they have become. It's astonishing how small and vile humans can be when they try.

3. The money spent on one bomb could have saved this man's life many times over.
But the powers that be have other things to worry about....

4. But what is so outrageous people are still going to vote for them
I bet Ben Nelson gets re-elected in Nebraska even after all he has done. Do you think McConnell and DeMint and Bonehead won't get re-elected? They sure as heck will. And the people who vote for these pieces of lower life are mostly the ones responsible.

6. That is true if you trust the election system
I lost that trust long ago. I am sure Obama won despite the effort to rig the election. His win percentage was probably bigger than we will ever k ow

5. And how many more are out there?
I have been homeless a few times, I have been there except I was too sick to job hunt, and I could not get my hands on a gun and there/then had no way to do the deed or I would have.

They are cold and callous, our lives are nothing to them.
Just counters on the roulette wheel they play at all day.
