Sadly, he believes that messaging falsehoods about his various positions will see him across the threshold of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. I hope the fair-minded and observant Republican voters will show him short thrift. He should be banished to the obscurity he deserves, instead the MSM seems eager to afford him some credibility. His quest for the WH brings with it the inescapable threat of another Bush getting their hands on the levers of power by way of the VP spot. Jeb Bush! Just days ago the senior Bush accompanied the Mittster for his explanation of what he/his religion stood for to the knuckle-draggers. Most observers would note that altruism is an alien attribute of these powerful people. So I suspect some form of quid pro quo bargain was forged for the appearance. The Mittster is a genuine comic.

Just kidding of course. I don't believe Mitt has the capacity to love a man or a woman. For that you need a soul. So, he’s not just a bigot, but a self hating gay? Just kidding of course.

Pakistani Intelligence (ISI) was definitely involved in 9/11. At least in training and funding.

Not enough people are drawing this OBVIOUS comparison. Bush’s invasion of Iraq is almost identical to Hitlers invasion of Poland. Including the results. Just like the Pol’s, the Iraqis are using homemade explosives to strike back at an overwhelming occupying force. And just like the invasion of Poland, Bush used an attack on the homeland as an excuse to invade Iraq. Comment by BARTLEBEE — I Couldn't say it better! Plus, 9/11 was not made by islamic jihadists with boxcutters... it was an internal military operation! Bush’s invasion of Iraq is similar to Hitler’s invasion of Poland.
