This should be a wakeup call for the GOP. Will it? Or will it be dismissed as just another RINO or Democrat planted antagonist? What wil it be?

Finally Senator McCarthy was brought up short during the questioning of the United States Armys chief counsel, Joseph N. Welch, who at one point demanded the senators attention, then said: Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness. He later added: Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?
