Pro-rape republicans....gee, I wonder where he/she heard that?? How dumb.

Anyone remember the article last week about the weapons that would not fire during an attack in Afghanistan? I'd call that "harm's way" bigtime! And I just heard this morning that some of that $$$ went to a museum and some to a Ted Kennedy library.
