.... comes from behind.

BTW President Obama will crush either Mitt or Rick in the general
but I want Mitt because Rick will get out the vote of the "true believers" in the
fall.


Although I find it funny that even after Mitt saying he liked grits that he would
get beat in the south.

This seems like a good place to share this brilliant LTTE, compliments of Alexander Anderson of Carrboro, NC:

"Having grown up in Scotland, a country with a public school system still divided along sectarian lines and a long history of pious piffle and sanctimonious cant, I cannot help but be alarmed by the utterances of the leading candidates for president of my adopted country. I did not dump the queen for this!

The lavishly funded, charitably deducted, sex-obsessed, homophobic shotgun wedding of convenience between the Protestant Religious Right and the Roman Catholic Church is not something that my early education prepared me for, but, if history has taught us anything, I fear the honeymoon will be a stormy one and may end in tears all round.

As a Fellow of the Royal College of Organists, I am offended that my expensive but tax-deductible services were not required for the solemnization of this union.

Is this the ultimate gay marriage, or, to paraphrase the Book of Common Prayer, the mystical union between Christ and our Purse?"
