You know what makes me want to throw up, Rick?

The thought of all our families who ache for their father, mother, sister, brother, or son who they will never hold in their arms again, lost to a war we had no business waging.

The thought of all the soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who struggle today with injuries seen and unseen, that never needed to be borne.

The near collapse of the world economy and all the pain it has caused families and individuals here and elsewhere, yours truly included.

The dimmer futures for tens of thousands of young people coming out of college or high school and into an economy that SUCKS.

The havoc wreaked on Iraqis who did nothing to deserve it,

The loss of lives in Iraq and Afghanistan,

The horror that was rained down on others in our name and under our beautiful flag,

The dishonor that your party brought to our entire nation

The imbecile who puffed his chest out and blathered talk of 'for us or against us' and 'mission accomplished' while he desecrated the sacrifice of my father and grandfathers, all veterans

The inertia that this country was frozen by as we were spoonfed lies by the Fox 'News' liars

but nothing makes me want to vomit more than the thought of you smug ignorance pimps getting anywhere near the chance to lead this country ever again.
