America's Super-Secret War Criminal
The life of George Herbert Walker Bush represents one of the most corrupt and devious people to ever hold the office of the presidency hostage. He is not deserving of anything but an actual trial for his treasons against the United States and the millions of people that he was responsible for murdering during his various official positions in the government.
As Vice-President, GHW Bush was able to cash-in on what he had done (for himself) as CIA Director (1976-77) when he began his ventures into drugs and guns around the world.

You gotta love this tee shirt....it says it all! It should be worn by every single person who voted against his or her own interests in this midterm election. What is it about self-destruction that GOP supporters don't understand? Never mind, just keep the federal government out of their Medicare, their veteran's benefits, their Social Security, their Department of Education, their EPA, - stop them from regulating toxins in their food, their air, and their water, and, of course....keep the giverment from stopping the financial institutions from robbing them blind again. The inmates have taken over much of the asylum, and it's only a matter of time until they run the whole damn place.
