Clowns in a circus. I picture them running around whacking each other with giant comedic hammers, pies are flying, it looks like they are really mad at each other, but whether they are the good clown we are supposed to chear for, or the mean clown we boo, all the clown's paychecks are all signed by the same company. They are employees putting on a show.

Something most people don't consider... if Obama and Romney are both financed by Exxon and Goldman and Monsanto and UnitedHealth and Dow and Lockheed and GE, why would anyone believe that they EVER intended to do anything different? Do people believe these companies give this money away out of the kindness of their non-existent hearts?
