and this is the most unbelievable mass of idiots on the Republican primary slate they could muster..Its even more unbelievable that Repukes would vote for a crook..a shamed politician that actually paid a $300,000 fine(obviously lobbyist money) and he is now leading the pact and we are worried about Obama defeating this guy???...
