Amen to that! It's interesting... because that was also "Reagan's crime" only he did it out in front of the American public and the liberal media just couldn't spin all of that "good news" into the demon they wanted to make out of Reagan.
McCarthy's other crime was being from Wisconsin where a deep and abiding affection for socialists, communists and other labor-union sympathizers runs very deep. They were only too happy to dump McCarthy overboard.
That "deep and abiding affection" only runs deep around Madison. The rest of the state, except for a few areas in Milwaukee, is far to the right of the wackos around the capital. Wisconsin is a state where even a large percentage of Dems are hunters and gun lovers. Don't mistake Madison for the rest of the state.
