but that doesn't mean that Inhofe shouldn't be tarred and feathered.

How many times have we heard people describe serial killers as nice people? Sometimes, even rape victims have nice words to describe their assailants. Go figure. I don't understand any of it. But it happens. Sanders is just as wrong-headed. Sanders needs to look at what Inhofe has DONE as a politician and make assessments on his record of behavior. How many lives has Inhofe ripped apart because of Inhofe's draconian political views? How many terminal illnesses has Inhofe caused by his asinine anti-environment, climate denying decisions? And Sanders thinks he's a nice guy?

primary today, I would vote for:
