    The traitor and the tramp.

    So the GOP has been reduced to running a traitor and a tramp. The Dems had better go right after these people on what is supposed to be their strengths: security (the traitor's supposed strong suit) and values (the tramp's supposed strong suit).

    The traitor puts our security at risk because he is incapable of solving a problem without bombing it; and he is supremely ignorant of basic geopolitical facts (he doesn't know the difference between a Shia and a Sunni, and he thinks Yugoslavia is still a country). He wants to be president so badly that he picks a clearly unqualified affirmative action tramp because he can't stand up to the wing nuts in his own party.

    And the tramp: popping out baby after baby is no skill. Taking proper care of them - now that's an accomplishment. The tramp and her husband can't bother to monitor the whereabouts of their own daughter. Pimping her out to the media - and forcing her and that foulmouthed sperm donor into a hasty marriage - are NOT what most American families would want for their children. And this nonsense about teenage pregnancy happening in every American family - NOT! Plenty of American parents teach their sons and daughters values that protect them from teenage pregnancy. The tramp and her husband were AWOL on the most basic of parental responsibilities. And there is that little matter of the so-called pro life tramp flying all over the country after her water broke, avoiding medical care at every opportunity. The tramp's ONLY possible explanation is that she was trying to kill that baby.

    Tramp. Traitor. This is the GOP vision for the US, and if the Dems don't get busy, this is what we'll have for the next eight years.
