More antics of our elected Congressional Representatives. Yes, they really, really, really, care about what we think! Congressman Clyburn (yes,
D-SC) of South Carolina must be working so hard for the People that he can hardly stay awake at one of his own fucking Town Hall Meetings!

"Are you going to vote to include all Americans or all, anybody that's in here in the country right now?" one opponent asked.
Fudge responded, "Well, I don't know how many people who are not Americans that are in that number. I don't know that answer."
