Letter: Political con artists

It is ironic that Sen. Marco Rubio uses the words “con artist” to attack a presidential candidate. He was mentored by a political family that may have perpetrated the greatest con in American politics — conning Congress, the media and the American people into sending our men and women to war in Iraq because of so-called weapons of mass destruction.

Now this political family sends another mentor, Mitt “the Twit” Romney, who uses the same words to attack the same presidential candidate. It is no wonder that the American people are fed up with the establishment.
