So not worry. America will be sending in the GOP/RNC to help the fight. The "Insane McCain Clan" is ready for getting into another war. The "Mickey Mouse Mitch McConnell Club" will also be air dropped in. They are ready to go, and one will find them to be completely nuts. Not to be out done! Here comes the "Bonehead Boehner Bunch," and the "Crazy Cantor Cronies" are also itching for a fight as well. They love to watch in their many 'quietrooms' movies concerning the "Art Of War." America needs to quickly put all of the Tea Beggers on a Military Transport right away. There is no time to waste!
