My imagination, or is the national Republican Party staying

silent about Bain and Romney? Is it normal and customary to let your presumptive nominee for President dangle and twist in the wind?

Does their silence and non-support suggest the Republicans are like rats fleeing a sinking ship?

to resolve this issue. Be sure they are digging deeper within, sad part is they are just alittle shallow to find much depth. Money has no depth separately, "paper thin".

Obama has done the right thing, seeking the boys on the Hill get out of the bunkers and work for Americans. Hope he stays on this message.

Plus its hard for a puppet to dangle and twist in the wind, the hand in control goes....
And money is now "voice", so this will get interesting, disgusting yeah, but get out the popcorn....
