17. Great. The entire country *isn't* a bunch of mindless nincompoops!

I live in Iowa and Rmoney was here last week. Hubby and I were watching the local news, as they covered Rmoney's speech. I wish all of you could have seen the two soundbytes. The guy can't pull a normal sentence out of his mouth. He seems robotic,
uncomfortable and out of his element.

My husband and I looked at each other and laughed. The guy *seriously* needs new writers. He was trying to say that Obama had his chance and now it's time for someone new. He blathered on and then his voice trailed off. At the very end, he did that goofy smile of his--you know the one--where he looks like a piece of plastic trying to mold his mouth into a smile.

It just doesn't work.

The man is pathetic.

And one more thing--I've about had it with the rabid lather that right-wing-radio listeners have themselves whipped into. Have you listened to this garbage lately? OMG...it is so over the top. Glenn Beck is pedaling food insurance every hour--because Obama is going to implode the country and leave food shortages. Oh yeah, he's also going to outlaw gardening. So get your dehydrated beef stew RIGHT NOW PEOPLE!! Seriously...the far right is stoking some serious hatred and polarizing bullshit. I for one, cannot wait until Obama wins this thing--just to hear their idiotic heads collectively implode when they have to deal with Obama for another four years. Beck today was talking about how God has been speaking to him about what he must do. So, he's planning something big, folks--for July 30th! God told him to do it!

Batshit crazy, meets lies, meets delusions, meets radical politics. It's insane.

Great news on this poll. I tend to lose faith in this country sometimes, knowing that a contingent of our citizens listens to right-wing radio and laps it up like programmed lemmings. Good to hear that many of our citizens see Rmoney for the dolt that he is.
