16. ROMNEY HOOD riding on Paul RYAN EXPRESS to Corporate Hell. Misery loves company and they want all US

How could the republicans come to hate themselves and the country so much that they would put this political ticket together and be willing to finance it? It is mind boggling to me. this is worse than McCain and Palin. At least John McCain had done some good in the US SENATE and seemed to have a conscience. But Romney is a HOLLOW MAN who has chosen the cruel sheriff of Nottingham as his soul mate. SCARY ain't it?

The way I see it, the people who made this ticket happen don't really give a shit if Obama wins or Brickbat Aug 2012 #12
