Soulless Rethugs On Display

By now, most people have seen the revolting video of Arizona Sen. and bitter pus-bag John "Grumpypants" McNasty's town hall put down of Caren Teves, the mother of an Aurora, CO shooting victim. It's a tone-deaf, thoroughly cruel piece of business.

Now we learn that the victim's father wrote letters to both McNasty and his Rethug counterpart, Sen. Jeff "The" Flake concerning the importance of sensible gun control/safety laws. Here's what transpired:

"A few weeks ago, Tom Teves, of Phoenix, sent his senators a letter. His 24-year-old son, Alex, was killed last year in the Aurora, Colo. movie theater massacre, and he wanted to tell them Alex’s story and encourage them to take action on guns.

What he got in response, he said, were cold, impersonal form letters from Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake, both Republicans. Neither of the letters even addressed the Colorado massacre. In fact, they brought up an entirely different shooting, the schoolhouse killings in Newtown, Conn., and mentioned each senator’s ongoing support of the Second Amendment. It was like Alex Teves’ death hadn’t gotten through to the senators or their staffs."

Both Grumpypants and Jeff The Flake should be ashamed of themselves. Sadly for the rest of us, they are shameless, soulless, and without the moral compass that most human beings have. Maybe that's the key to being a Rethuglican politician.
