    Believe what you want.

    You are ten pounds of shit in a five pound bag.

    "Party backbone", my ass.

    It's not my responsibility to convince you of anything. Pretend everything's all rainbows and kittens. Keep your head in the sand and watch it unfold. This has been festering for months, the idiotic leadership thought they could keep a lid on it. The only reason PUMA exists is because the party has been stupid enough to think everyone turn a blind eye to the corruption and walk blindly lockstep off a cliff just because every pundit kept saying that would happen. They were wrong.
