ORANGE ALERT: The (almost) daily outrage

"I am sickened at the extent and pervasiveness of dishonesty and misdirection by individuals in the highest office of the land, including the President." -- U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah

Reading this report is a sobering revelation of how far we have strayed from the aspirations and principles of the founders.”

— U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah
