    If the shoe were on the other foot, instead of in your mouth...

    Barack Obama is a monster. Yeesh. Can you imagine if Hillary said this, or someone on her team, or her supporters. I can hear the mumbling masses now....wait, the words are becoming easier to hear...yes, I can finally hear them....RACISM. How dare a white woman call a black man a monster.

    But hey, calling a woman a monster, well, that is downright cool, hip, and fun. Nothing wrong with that. Just playing politics.

    Play this. Barack Obama and his supporters may or may not be monsters, but the real monster is people who support this hypocrisy and almost revel in it.

    Down here in TEXAS, we don't play that game. Put 'em up or shut up is how we like it. If you gonna say you're Mr. Nice, than be Mr. Nice, or stop saying it because every single time you show your true colors--those of a hyprocrite--it is one more vote (or one more million votes) for my girl HILLARY.

    Still a Girl, Living in Texas, and getting PROUDER EVERY MINUTE
