Grand Old Party Games
Saturday, February 9, 2013
As John McCain recently observed, the results of the last election were a savage indictment of Republican immigration policy, especially when it comes to Hispanics and Latinos, where the orthodox view seems to be “deport all of them, except for the ones that mow my lawn!”
Barack Obama by a Nose

Aside from the lying, one of the major themes of the Republican National Convention was trying to humanize Mitt Romney to the American public, which worked out like an alchemist attempting to transmute lead into gold.
