Has our country ever had such a sleezeball [View all]

as this man rMoney is, running for President. I thought that bush the lessor was the bottom of the barrel but thats not to be. This gentleman, If you can call him that, takes the low so far that even Chubby Checker couldn't limbo under that one, or whatever they called it back then, the limbo rock or something where they held a bar and the dancers would bend over backwards and see who could get the lowest and make it under it without falling on their asses. People supporting this man is an affront on what our whole Democracy is about or was about before the dick and w came though the door.
We don't need this kind of candidate nor do we need this kind of person as a citizen of our once great country. This man and his type should be in a jail cell somewhere or made to leave our country not be running on a major party ticket for President.
You know the thing is, that I don't see any Obama bumper sticker around here in NE Ok and I understand why, Your car would be keyed every time you went into a store and left it in a parking lot because so many of our neighbors and acquaintances are so racist that they can't give this black man his due. You know something else I don't see any Romney bumper stickers around here either. I have seen a few passing though motorist who've had an Obama/Biden sticker on their vehicle and a few who had an old bush/cheney 2004 sticker passing though but I've not seen one yet that has had a Romney sticker on it. When the press, tv, shows the rallies for Romney and in the few incidences where they've shown a picture of the crowds the ones I've seen for rMoney has shown that only a handful of people show up and in the rare occasion where they show a picture of the crowds that show up for President O it always looks like thousands and sometimes thousands more are there. How can it be that the Press, tv, newspapers, can say that these two men are running neck and neck in the polls?
I'll apologize for my strong dislike for this man or 'maybe that should read cretin' but the taste of bush/cheney is still very much with me, how is it that with everyone who has at least two brain cells to rub together not see what this man, Romney, is is beyond me.
Personally I think the Press is lying to us about all of this and are trying their best to make it look like it is close enough of a race that the republicons can steal yet another presidential election.
