As a verified hater of all things Romney and Obamney, I'd say it
couldn't<br>
be happening to a better S.O.B. The only thing better would be if
Obama <br>
was provably involved in the graft as a verifiable participant.<br>
<br>
(not that Obama hasn't done worse things).<br>
<br>
*<br>
<br>
On the other hand, this is a snarky October surprise designed to <br>
beslime the plastic bastard Romulan under a cloak of stinking alien
dung.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately most of those who would vote for Mitt Zombie will stagger
to <br>
the polls and vote for him anyway, dismissing this for what it is,<br>
just a hit piece. The dazzle-eyed Obama supporters are going wild with
<br>
excitement.<br>
<br>
But, no one with even half a lick of sense should be enamoured with
either of<br>
these dastardly dudes. All should be able to see what is up.<br>
<br>
Amerika, we have scoured the countryside in search of your leaders.<br>
Here are your two choices - Barabbas and Haphabbas.<br>
<br>
Which do U want?<br>
