  1. The truth always stays in hiding----for this prevaricater--- who try's to soften the bluntness of his lies by constantly quibbling and confusing the issues, endlessly, in an attempt to mislead his inquisitors-----but his mask is starting to separate from his forehead, chin, mouth, nose, cheeks and eyes, and his hertofore unexposed face is becoming open to view---it's a face that will cause discomfort and repulsion because it is marked with an imputation of bad and evil character.

    For every push against the American people will beget a trust of force in return-----it's not going to be pretty for the progressives who have declared war against our will---

  2. Illegal legislative trickery------being led by the biggest "TRICK" in politic's Nazi Piglosi, with her marching orders from the Manchurian Meltdown president.

    Impeach this bitch, I mean witch, she is circumventing the constitution---

    Deem and pass---is really unseemingly and piss---on our constitution

    The Congress in America----transforming the United States Of America into The United Socialist States of America----where every American illegal or not can share in the banana crop as we transition into a Banana Republic---

    How evil works-----achieve an objective, through the application of force, not law----Nazi Piglosi, Harry Reid and Obama will be evaluated on their morally reprehensible impulse's----
    They have no idea what they are unleashing------
    The French had a name for it---RETALITATING.

  3. Less then 72 hour's left before the vote----
    Prediction---the Republicans will finally shed their wobbly legs and encouraged by the American citizens wrath will take on a warrior spirit---

    The countries future is on the line----
    Over the next 3 days the Republicans will be centered on a victory for the American people by standing up to Obama's oppressive power-----it will be their finest hour, as they finally reveal their spine----their resolve will shock not only the democommies and the socialist press, but will rouse the nation into a manical rage that will literally scare some of the undecided democommies into voting aganist Obamascare-----Go Republicans-----
    Go Republicans
    Go republicans
