That was a voice of sanity for a change. HH was good guy, too, one of the best. And the description of the GOP lies and deceit is no different than it is today, but more shills now.

Naturally, by the time RR ran for office, the greedy old patricians had bought him off. I wonder how many people voted for him thinking he was as sane as he was back then.
