It is terribly sad when one can no longer trust American politicians. Unfortunately experience has dictated the very definition of a politician now includes the terms “vice addict!” I mean all the traditional vices as well as lying to the extent of being unable to tell the truth.
It is indeed sad.
But, it is a typical left tactic to slow down or prevent a resurgence of the right, at least over here in the UK and Europe. (yeah, I know, our right is your sociallist hell, but we try!)
The usual rule applies - follow the money, which many Freepers are better qualified to do than I. Who is funding his bid and why?
