No you didn't, you fucking liar. You posted a link that alleges there is possibility the potential for maybe something could not be 100% kosher. Yet you claimed Obama was engaged in massive online credit card fraud. Goddamnit, man. What you claimed and the evidence you presented were miles apart, but you are so fucking stupid, or so fucking dishonest, that you can't tell the difference. No... It's both.

I was kind of going off the cliche of the Republicans having deeper pockets and loads of big donors off which to draw. Plenty of their usual rank-and-file supporters do seem ready to hibernate for a little while - a few friends of mine are voting for a guy named Chuck Baldwin, of the Constitution Party. He's got the support of the local talk radio and wingnut alternative press in this area. At this point in time, there are far more Dems willing to donate than Republicans.

Think of it as an allegorical image not of the presidential campaign, but rather of the state of the two national parties. The party of "criminals are a superstitious cowardly lot" and been driven to exhaustion and has no new ideas. They've been drained. Then, the juggernaut that (shockingly) is the modern Democratic party steps in and cracks 'em over its knee. And I don’t feel comfortable with McCain as Batman.
