Is there a list of the traitors?
The Republican party is infiltrated so massively. Its seems that we are done for.

Along with the demonrats!
20 Radical Leftist Republicans are holding the nation’s business hostage.
These people need to be voted out.
You don’t think that the NY post would provide you with that do you?
