HOW THE TRAGEDY OF NEWTON CHANGED LES MISERABLES FOR ME

AND HOW MY PERSONAL FAVORITE MUSICAL WILL NEVER BE THE SAME

You never know when something is gonna knock you a loop, and having witnessed the great Les Miserables in its original run on Broadway over 60 times one would think there would be few surprises in store for me upon watching the film adaptation. No I'm not obsessed, well maybe a little, but you see I was a volunteer for the American Theatre Wing and had the honor of chaperoning underprivileged children to their first Broadway shows (a very rewarding experience). So I thought I was used to all the tragedy that's happens on that stage. Seeing the film version, left few surprises at least in the plot for me and seeing it brought to beautiful and wonderful perfection on screen Christmas Day was something I will forever treasure, especially cause they actually got it right...for once. 

But watching it yesterday, for the first time since, on my SAG screener, something I never expected occurred that knocked me like a ton of bricks. In the midst of the big battle, when Gavroche, the angelic boy is killed by the French military the tragedy of Newton struck home. The recent murders in Connecticut smacked me literally in the face. The beautiful child who had just sung his last words on screen was no longer just a character in a story, he had become the representation of the children of Newton for me. And what had always been just one of a multitude of emotional moments in the plot now became simply too real. I imagined the slaughtered children, and I was overcome with emotion far beyond what had ever happened before. In my mind I now visualized the children being literally torn asunder by that pathetic madman who did such a horrible thing. 

Listening to what happened to those children, especially hearing the parents describing the 'remains' of their babies, one would think that would be real enough for anyone. But seeing that beautiful young boy on the screen, being gunned down, that made what occured real. I understand the weaponry is different, but seeing that child who had just entertained me struck down was like nothing I can ever remember. And for me any and all discussions in the matter have ended. From now on whenever I watch the film, or even listen to my many versions (get the original French, astonishing) the face of Gavroche will always remind me of those 20 beautiful souls, and I will treasure the show even more for now its not just a show, for me it has become real.

Now I ponder how this change in perspective alters my future viewings of my favorite musical. Will it forever taint it's greatness or has it actually made the experience more real and therefore possibly even greater, because now its real and not fiction.  And isn't that what art is supposed to do.

ENOUGH WITH THE GUNS ALREADY
ENOUGH WITH THE KILLING
I am so sick of listening to this conversation already. Simply put, how many people have to die before you wake up to the reality that we are facing.  People are literally being gun down in schools now. What is this the Wild West? What have our streets suddenly been replaced with dirt again. And we’re riding on horses again? Isn’t it time, that our gun policies enter the 21st century too. I mean if we can pave sidewalks, why can’t we curb gun’s also.
I watched an angry women on FOX NEWS the other night, Michelle Malkin, another one of the many hi-paid talking heads, practically boiling because people were having their guns ‘confisgated’ by the police. Like this was a plot to rob us of our rights. Look lady, this was a volunteer program to help lessen the hardware out there, not to take away any rights. Guess you can have an opinion, but not facts, huh? Next step, no guns, really. Oh, my God! Damn the man, lets start a revolution. How dare they take our rights away. First safety belts and now guns. Time to revolt again.
Our rights? Screw our rights! Our children are being slaughtered in the streets, literally. Thousands upon thousands of people are being shot, maimed and killed in our nation, every single day. Wake the ‘F’ up already. All I can say lets hope they’re right. Cause I think we have reached the tipping point. Kids are now, let me start that one over, white kids are now being killed (in large numbers no less). That’s when the Government starts to do what needs to be done to protect the masses from the crazies. The people who think its okay to have enough fire power in their pockets to destroy a city block or worse.
I understand peoples rights to protecting themselves, I do. But there comes a point when I’m sorry something has to be done. To listen to idiots say that teachers should be forced to learn how to fire guns if they want to teach is insane. Isn’t their job tough enough? Isn’t their a better solution, then even more guns?
Honestly, this just stuns me that in this day and age we have to listen to people without a sense of logic, expressing outrage that Uncle Sam will take away their guns. Well perhaps after over 200 years, its time that he did just that. The country is safe. We will not be over taken over by the British, or the Germans, or whomever. Maybe its time to say good bye to the past. Throw away the arsenal. Get with the program and actually be a part of our great nation.

JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION, WHY DID YOU GO INTO POLITICS?
WAS IT TO HELP PEOPLE, OR JUST TO GET RICH?
Since the election, I have watched as the political leaders in Washington have played with the lives of millions of Americans. I like many others thought that once the election process was over, everyone would wake up and do the job that the American people elected them to do. Sadly I guess I was being gullible and naive. Lets see, the voters had a choice, we decided, Obama and his policies were approved by the vast majority of the American people. So what’s the problem, lets get things accomplished.
As we all hoped after President Obama’s first election victory, that CHANGE was gonna occur. Of course in reality, we discovered that the people who are against the CHANGE we voted for in 2008 tried their best to stop any CHANGE from happening. The Mid-Term election possibly giving them, just cause to think that they were in the right. Perhaps we were just bamboozled by a great speaker?
But as this years election results proved, they weren’t. The people spoke, and what we said was that we indeed wanted the change we requested 4 years a go. And the CHANGE that seemed to actually be making a difference.
But, as the clock ticks outs on this current fiscal crisis, it seems the losers in the election haven’t heard the peoples voices. We spoke loud and clear, we didn’t like their candidates and we didn’t like the message. We liked and voted for what our President requested. And we expected that the grown-ups dealing with our problems as a nations would do the right thing.
So I guess my question is, as we watch what occurs, why are these people even in their positions? Why did they decide to run for office in the first place? Was it to help people? Was it to try to improve the lives of the less fortunate? Was it because they thought they could do better? Why? Why would someone go through all that hell of running for political office if not to help others? That they become Congressmen or Senators to get rich? Is that the real reason, so that once they resign, they’re set forever. Not worrying about their retirement, cause they were elected and their pension plan is better then God’s?
I’m Just wondering how they sleep at night. When people are worried about the next meal, their children’s education, how they’re gonna pay this months rent let alone next months. How do people who have the capacity to do great things for others could go on television and act so smug and point blank lie at what they’ve been doing to try to help the situation. How?
I mean if you have the chance to do something of good, shouldn’t you. How can you just sit back and let others suffer when you actually could help them so easily.  And if they don’t shouldn’t they just get up and quit and let someone else whose got the balls to do something, do the job.  I mean isn’t that why you become a politician, to help others, if not, why bother?

BIG MONEY LOSES BIG TIME, AS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE THEIR SAY

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA WINS RE-ELECTION 

Finally after way too long, the people have spoken. The President was re-elected easily. Giving everyone a chance to see how politics should be done. Beating greats odds, and a candidate that seemed to changed positions by the minute, plus millions of dollars of hate speak. The American people  stood up against all the lies and made me proud to be an American. A country which was born of our quest for freedom battered back against the people who are trying to rid us of as much freedom as possible.

The republican party which supposedly strives for freedom, spent millions trying to turn our now re-elected President into an outsider, an alien, or worse.  Trying to push their religious beliefs on all of us, regardless of our own.  Pushing their mantra that if you're not one of us, obviously you must be against us. Making racism seem like part of their National agenda.
But, good won the day and amazingly it wasn't even close.  Even with Florida still not counted fully, President Obama trounced Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan even more then even I hoped for.  And whats better, because of his over 50% win of the popular vote, twice. More then even the ever popular President Bill Clinton.  
So now we get four more years of President Obama and Vice President Biden. We get to watch as both parties explain why they won or lost. Listening to see who actually got what just occurred or who still lives in their own world. We get to see, if our elected officals finally act like adults and get the job done. 
Four years a go, our President was elected to fix what President Bush 2 left us in. And thankfully he has been given another four to finish the job. Leaving us a much better and stronger nation. I have high hopes that he is more then up to the job, and am even more thankful that unlike when Vice President Gore lost the chance to continue President Clinton's agenda, President Obama will be able to.  
I have never felt more excited about whats ahead for our country. Good won out. Hatred lost. Racism was smacked back into wherever it came from. We have not a good man in the White House, but a great man. And now we get to watch as he gets to do his thing. And boy is it gonna be fun. Yes we can, Yes we can. Yes we can.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA
FOR A SECOND TERM

THE CHOICE COULDN'T BE EASIER, OR MORE IMPORTANT 

Finally, its time to vote. Yes!!!  Which means, after way too long, the American people get their break from all the B.S, the too many commercials, newspapers, magazines, television, robo-calls, junk mail and emails.  Free at last to enjoy television and reading without having to be deal with all the talking heads, all the experts who try to sway our vote. All the lies that the fact-checkers revealed.  Finally, it comes down to each one of us to decide who we feel has the ability to run our country. Be for love of country or revenge (thanks Mitt for that)

Four years ago, candidate Barack Obama won rather easily (something that I hear, 'probably' won't happen this time).  Of course his current adversary, Mitt Romney also ran for the presidency four years ago, but didn't make it to the final round then.  And of course, the candidate Romney who ran four years ago, isn't the same candidate that's running against him this time. Well at least as far as we can tell. Since his positions have changed practically daily. Which is exactly the opposite of our President, the man that ran four years ago, is the man running this time. 

Four years ago, President Barack Obama came into office pushing for Change and infact delivered. Coming in he had promised a lot, and against almost all odds succeeded in accomplishing many of his promises.  Of course, as the republicans keep harping on, the unemployment rate is still too high.  Not that they helped at all, doing there best to stop any possible job programs.  And finally he's gotten the unemployment rate under 8%. So I guess he didn't 'lie' (Somehow when a candidate promises and hopes to deliver something, that something becomes a lie when because of circumstances beyond their control, the numbers aren't better). 

Four years ago, I voted for candidate Obama, still upset that my pick Hilary Clinton was defeated by him; but knowing who he was up against, honestly it wasn't too difficult a choice.  My one worry was, that like the previous President, Bush proved that we needed someone in the White House, who entered the office with enough experience to handle the job.  Well, after four years, any worries I had are over. I got a little nervous after the first debate, but I must stress, just a little 'cause even though he supposedly lost, at least he answered the questions without pandering and point blank lying about what his policies are, or were.

The funny thing is that after four years in office, my opinion of our president has only grown in admiration. Considering all the tests he has been given, and all his accomplishments (without any help from the other side of the aisle). Its amazing anyone has doubts about his abilities. And yes Mrs. Romney, Obama still seems to be the only grown-up in the room.   

Unfortunately, that can not be said of candidate Romney, a man who seems to be on all sides of the fence.  In most cases, those policies at least the ones he's for (I can not say he believes in, cause I have no idea if he believes in anything but himself).  As opposed to our President, who you honestly feel has real reasons for wanting to be President, Mr. Romney, seems to have no real reason for wanting the job.

In closing, in this day and age (remember its the 21st century) to have candidates arguing against woman's rights, abortion, equal pay, and simple math when it comes to the economy, it is not time to give our country over to failed policies that are literally from another century. We can not afford to hand over the keys to the kingdom to people who want to go back to the policies that failed us so badly in the past.  And finally President Obama has earned the chance to finish what he started in righting our ship.

"You mention the Navy, for example, and that we have fewer ships than we did in 1916. Well governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets," Obama said during the final presidential debate. "We have these things called aircraft carriers and planes land on them. We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines..."

There you go, and you thought watching the last debate, a debate about foreign policy, would be a waste of time. You wouldn’t learn anything new about either of these candidates.
Well during last night sit-down, the President showcased who is up to the task at hand and why his challenger isn't ready to take us forward.
The highlight for me of the debate is the above quote by President Barack Obama who slammed Republican Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney for his repeated attack over the size of the Navy under Obama’s watch. Trying to showcase his expertise on foreign policy, or as we discovered his lack of experience. Slam dunk for the President.

ANOTHER MYTH DEBUNKED  

HONESTLY IS EVERYTHING THIS MAN SAYS MADE-UP, OR WORSE?

"Governor Romney was a tremendous proponent of bringing women into the state. There's no doubt about it," Bramson said. "But the impetus for this was not Governor Romney, but this other organization, MassGAP."

Mermell, a Democrat and town official in Brookline, Mass., said Romney did not request any names after his 2002 election. Instead, she said MassGAP approached Romney's team as part of its effort, begun before the election, to make sure that more women were appointed to senior positions in the new administration.

It seems Mitt Romney has done stepped in it again. Another speech, another miss statement. How does he do it?  This time his usual 'Myth' building had to do with not answering a question dealing with women's equality in the work place. Instead of answering Mitt went onto this tangent about how he went on a search far and wide, to find qualified women fore his cabinet. Wow, what a champion for women's rights he is. Really?
Of course, as it always seems to be the case with Mitt, the reality turns out to be more myth then reality. And whats worse, the impetus on getting more women wasn’t even his idea, it was other peoples.

Mr. Obama, as he has said numerous times is one lucky man. And we as a nation is way lucky that his lady is such a great example for us all.
Anyway, back to what this is about. Mrs. Obama, expressed exactly what I feel makes her husband the ideal person to run our country. As opposed to Mitt Romney, who simply doesn’t get it. Every single statement seems to be a study in what not to say or how not to say it.

 #21   ACTING DUMB DURING THE DEBATE, MISTER BUSINESS SHOULD KNOW BETTER

“I have no idea what you’re talking about. I maybe need to get a new accountant," Romney shot back. "The idea that you get a break for shipping jobs overseas is simply not the case.”

Here we go again, I know I’ve been harping on Mitt Romney’s lies during last weeks debate (2012 #1 of 3). But I read an article today which happily had me writing some more on my current ‘favorite' subject. The Lies of Mitt.
Obama's Debate Claims On Tax Writeoffs For Offshoring Hold Up: Fact Checkers’ published today on The Huffington Post By Dave Jamieson (Link below) Discusses something that bothered me that Mitt Romney said during the debate. I listened to this section of the speech a few times, cause it sounded a little odd. Especially when I witnessed President Obama’s obvious surprise at Mitt’s answer. And luckily as Mr. Jamieson’s article explains, Mitt’s shock at the news that business gets tax breaks for shipping jobs over seas showcases what a freaking liar he is. I just wished he was asked about his personal banking policy, cause why else would you send your money overseas, unless it was to make more money on it.
We have been inundated by the ‘facts’ of Mitt’s business mind. I mean it is the reason he is running for the Presidency after all, isn't it? That's what really separates him from the other warnabees and our current President. The whiz-kid of the boardroom will fix everything that ails our system of government. If Mitt is as stupid as to, either believe we (the voters) would be gullable to believe he doesn’t know or worse that he 'really' doesn’t know. Simply put, do you really want a president who doesn’t know this basic business decision or knows and lies through his teeth telling us he doesn't.

"I don’t know whether to blame Lehrer or the president but it was kind of amazing cause Romney was not only saying things that are not true, he was saying things that his own campaign had previously said weren’t true," Paul Klugman said.

During this mornings, ABC News' "This Week" Sunday, which aired earlier today, The Nobel Prize-winning economist, Paul Krugman amazingly expressed the same opinion as myself, on what I felt occurred during the first Debate which occurred on Wednesday evening, October 3rd, 2012. By showcasing a problem that is truly relevant in today’s media coverage... the lack of calling a ‘spade’ a spade... no pun intended.
Too many politicians get away with simply telling lies. Half-truths are the norm.
But what was on display during the debate was simply astonishing in its scope. There were moments that it seemed our President almost spit out his water, holding in his smirks in obvious disbelief in what he was hearing. The flip-flopper had outdone himself. Possibly, revealing the true Mitt Romney. Or maybe simply this weeks version. Finally expressing a sad truth in todays political reporting...

“The press just doesn’t know how to handle flat-out untruths."

Maybe because of Mitt’s historic verbal abuse of the truth during debate #1, that in the long run the lies begin to correct the presses’ failures in reporting or simply doing their job.

SO MITT WON THE DEBATE... AND FOR ONCE HE HAD ALL THE FACTS, REALLY?

SORRY, FACTS...  LOL ... MORE LIKE LIES...  OR BETTER YET... TOTAL BULLSH*T  

During the debate, Mitt Romney accused President Obama of mischaracterizing several parts of his agenda, from taxes to Wall Street reform. Romney told the president that as the father of five sons, "I'm used to people saying something that's not always true but just keep on repeating it and ultimately hoping I'll believe it."

So that's how you learned your method of lying Mitt. Thanks for explaining how you've come up with your daily commentary. Keep repeating your false statements about stuff, till people begin to believe. Eg. That our President isn't American.

At another point, Romney said, "Mr. President, you're entitled to your own house and your own airplane, but not your own facts."

One small problem Mitt, your facts were complete and utter lies. Whoops. I mean everyone keeps saying you had all the 'facts' during the debate. Sorry Mitt, a fact is stating a truth. Not making stuff up. I mean just cause you throw the shit, doesn't mean any of it will stick. But Mitt, careful when you step down. Cause you're wading up to your neck in it.

WHO WAS THAT IN THE DEBATE AGAINST THE PRESIDENT?
CAUSE IT CERTAINLY WASN'T MITT ROMNEY
Luckily or not, I missed the debate ‘live’. So I first heard some the Talking Heads discuss. Basically how bad President Obama did. That he basically let Mitt walk all over him. To be honest, several, mentioned Mitt’s Etch’a’Sketch performance.
After over an hour of hearing all kinds of talking heads basically agree that Obama was ‘asleep’ at the wheel. And Mitt is now in the race ... ? Guess Governor Christie was right.
After I had had my full of all the B.S. I sat back and watched The Debate.
I guess I must be completely crazy. Cause what I watched wasn’t exactly what I heard described by most of the talking heads. I will admit that Romney was ‘for’ Romney amazing. I also must say he really was wired to perform tonight, and his answers actually sounded logical.  And if I had never had heard anything about or from I might actually be interested. But I have witnessed ‘years’ of Mitt’s Presidential quest.
But sounding logical and actually answering the questions truthfully aren’t the same things. And the Mitt Romney we witnessed during this debate was literally a completely out of the blue Mitt Romney. It was like another candidate was playing Romney’s part. The problem here of course is that most everything he said, wasn’t what he has been promoting.
And simply put he really hogged the camera. Several times I wanted them to silence his mike, I am actually astonished how composed our President was (I mean how many times can a candidate lie). Every time our President pointed out one of Romney’s Platforms, Romney turned around and said, ‘That’s not my policy’ I would never do that. My policy is... I love everything. Simply put, I’m amazed our President didn’t do one of Gore’s ‘big’ mistakes, his ‘sign’s’ each time Bush lied during their debate. As usual our President kept above the fray, showcasing his intelligence.
I truly wish they had had ‘Fact Checkers’ for this debate, cause Mr. Romney was so over the line here that he actually made Ryan’s Convention speech seem truthful.
I do agree with some of the complaints against the President. He should have brought up the 47%. He should have been more forceful especially when Mitt wouldn’t shut up. I know he needs to look civilized, but I’m sorry Mitt lied straight face. After an hour President Obama earned the right to say something pointed (at least).
A Shout out to the Rev. Al Sharpton for seeing right thru his lies, and showcasing exactly what we witnessed tonight. And I agree completely with his assessment that once people look at what Romney said at the debate against what he has been saying before the debate... But as we know Mitt ‘Never Apologizes' right.
That said, I think it was a pretty close debate, and I’m sticking to my opinion.

MISTER ROMNEY YOU'VE BEEN FOUND OUT
HE'S PROF HAROLD HILL OF 'MUSIC MAN' FAME

Unfortunately he's hasn't gotten his foot stuck in the door yet!  But if he's elected, we will.  But me think Ms. Rachel Maddow has delivered the knock-out punch. In a scolding Pulitzer's worthy investigative report. Ms. Maddow has smoked the golden goose. The flimflam artist has been uncovered. His cloak of description has been torn asunder.
From his lies about his home in Mass. To his current smoke-screen about his taxes Rachel showed in beautiful chronological and with video and documented proof showcased how Mr. Romney had by-passed the laws. Lied under oath about his taxes (in 2002) and sidestepped the questions for literally decades. Fudging facts to his advantage. Literally backdating and tax forms for political purposes.
But watching him evade questions in his European picture tour the similarities between him and the brilliant Robert Preston's Harold Hill smacked me straight in the face.  Of course, big difference here, the great Mr. Preston had charisma to spear, something that Mitt has none of.
It's quite amazing how seemingly without a hitch, on any subject, his speeches message changes from one audience to the next.  Somehow successfully evading any real answers to any and all questions.  The problem with traveling salesmen, and flimflam man is that once the mask has been lifted, what is revealed can be quite scary.

 #20   SAYING THAT OUR PRESIDENT HAS LIED ON PAST DEBATES WITHOUT FACTUAL TRUTHS, DOES THIS MAN HAVE NO DIGNITY?

“I think the challenge that I’ll have in the debate is that the president tends to, how shall I say it, to say things that aren’t true,” Romney said. “I’ve looked at prior debates. And in that kind of case, it’s difficult to say, ‘Well, am I going to spend my time correcting things that aren’t quite accurate? Or am I going to spend my time talking about the things I want to talk about?”

Mitt, Mr. Romney you have officially become a PRICK!!! How dare you, to imply that our President has lied, will lie on the upcoming debate. No proof, no facts, no nothing, lets just throw out a bogus claim, against our President. 
Of course listening to Mitt, one honestly doesn't know what to believe when he speaks. Perhaps, he's letting us know that he's gonna lie his ass off during the debates, so if I warn everyone about the 'other' candidate they'll miss all of my verbal gaffs. How not to earn the White House.
Maybe he is seeking help. Look at him when he speaks, watch is body language, he looks kind of constipated. and not in a good way.

"We will never have the media on our side, ever, in this country," Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator, told the audience at the Omni Shoreham hotel. "We will never have the elite, smart people on our side."

On Saturday, former presidential candidate Rick Santorum put both feet into his big mouth when he attacked the media and "smart people" both at the same time in a speech to the Values Voter Summit.

"We will never have the media on our side, ever, in this country," Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator, told the audience at the Omni Shoreham hotel. "We will never have the elite, smart people on our side."
The media "doesn't like the other side," Santorum said. "And not necessarily, I would argue, because they agree with them, but because they can influence the country.

THIS IS TOTAL BULL SH–T
ETCH A SKETCH MY ASS

Top Mitt Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom has now completely gone insane. The scary part of his eye-opening, from left-field statement, is how many people actually might believe him. 

“His position on the bailout was exactly what President Obama followed,” Fehrnstrom said. “He said, ‘If you want to save the auto industry, just don’t write them a check. That will seal their doom. What they need to do is go through a managed bankruptcy process.’”

“The only economic success that President Obama has had is because he followed Mitt Romney’s advice,” Fehrnstrom added.

Luckily history and the internet will forever remember Mitt Romney’s now infamous New York Times op-ed. piece penned in a November 2008. Headlined “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt,” the piece closed with these words:

“In a managed bankruptcy, the federal government would propel newly competitive and viable automakers, rather than seal their fate with a bailout check,” Romney wrote.

Not exactly what our President did do for the auto industry Mitt, instead, is plan saved the auto industry which, in fact seems to have come back better then could have been expected.

FIRST THE DEMOCRATS, AND NOW  THE NAACP, GUESS ITS TIME FOR ILLEGALS?
HEY MITT SEEMS TO ME, HE'S YOUR PERFECT RUNNING MATE

"There's a certain statement he made about Communists," Jerry Gore, president of the Martin County NAACP, told Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers. "That statement alone ... we do not represent that type of atmosphere."

Wow... Maybe, sometimes one's crazy personal impressions of others should be kept to themselves. Sometime putting your asinine beliefs out there can bite you in the ass. Isn't that true Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.)  But, thanks for not heeding my advice. One might think, after his latest zinger (telling constituents at a town hall meeting that some 80 House Democrats "are members of the Communist Party. It's called the Congressional Progressive Caucus.") people in his state might vote for someone else to represent them now. But the way this year is shaking out, instead of choosing a possible slam-dunk V.P. pick like a Jeb Bush or a Gov. Chris Christie, Romney will opt for a Allen West. And there you have it.

TAR BABY! TAR BABY! 
WHAT NEXT MICHELE,  ANY WHITE HOODIES IN YOUR CLOSET

"This is just about waving a tar baby in the air and saying that something else is a problem," said Bachmann in an interview with the conservative blog The Shark Tank. "I have never seen a more irresponsible president who is infantile in the way that he continually blames everyone else for his failure to first diagnose the problem and second to address the problem."

Well 'he' may not have an answer to your query (in your opinion), but I certainly do. You know what the problem is, you (low-rent dressed-up white-trash uneducated tax clerk... Sorry had to get that out of me) Know what the problem is, it's people like yourself. You masquerade your truth in pretty clothes and lipstick, but it doesn't hide the ugliness that lies inside. "Tar Baby!" wham bam thank you Mame. There you have it. The truth will set you free. Michele Bachmann you are a bigot. There you go. Phew imagine if your running mate would have been Herman Cain.
My one complaint, you couldn't have expressed your feelings on the subject on one of the debates. Then this disgusting bigoted moment in time would be a real issue in this campaign, as opposed to a blip on the radar screen.
All I can say is thank the powers that be that you will never be sitting in the Oval office leading our nation into oblivion. You racist 'bit*h'. There I said it. Now go ahead an make excuses like you didn't know. It's news to you. If that's true, then you are definitely aren't up to the job of the presidency of the PTA, let alone of the country. Just go away.
