Reverse Beverly Hillbillies.

My Take on the Convention last night, particularly Ann's speech. It was like they are trying to make Thurston Howell III and Lovey into Granny and Jed Clampett....The "We ate Tuna and Pasta" routine...Ordinary people call that Tuna Noodle casserole...Tables are usually Kitchen tables. Ironing board "Dinning" table????" Yeah it was a show to make the rich people look poorer....reverse Beverly Hillbillies. They even downplayed Ann in her appearance. Nice dress, good color, little or no jewelry. This is her husband's nomination. She looked like a modern day JUNE CLEAVER.

someone that's creative should re-write the words with the Rmoney's in mind. Example: Come and listen to a story about a man named Mitt........

"Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,
Then one day he was shootin at some food,
And up through the ground came a bubblin crude.

Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.

Well the first thing you know ol Jed's a millionaire,
Kinfolk said "Jed move away from there"
Said "Californy is the place you ought to be"
So they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly.

Hills, that is. Swimmin pools, movie stars.

Well now its time to say good by to Jed and all his kin.
And they would like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin in.
You're all invited back a gain to this locality
To have a heapin helpin of their hospitality

Hillybilly that is. Set a spell, Take your shoes off.

Y'all come back now, y'hear?."

Come and listen to a story about a man named Willard
A rich motherfucker, barely kept his taxes below 10%
Then one day he was outsourcing a company,
And up through the ground came the Kochs.

Koch Suckers that is, rich psychopaths, Texas scum.

Well the first thing you know ol Willards the nominee,
Kinfolk said "Mitt, make the rich be tax free"
Said "Use a bunch of states to claim residence in"
You're a Mormon, so by definition you can't sin.

GOP Sin, that is. Kill the poor, starve the hungry, etc.

Well now its time to say good bye to Mitt and all the repigs
And they would like to thank American sheep fer votin' GOP
America's invited to go fuck itself,
And make sure everybody dies except millionaires.

GOP Millionaires, that is. Steal a bunch, and laugh at it.

June Cleaver was Barbara Billingsley

But June Lockhart is mighty pretty so better looking than Ann rmoney who looks like a mean sorority girl bitch!

Greedy, snotty assholes who worship nothing but money. Nothing can change that.

He would say anything to end up on the right side of money.

All I can think about any time that Mitt opens his mouth is that's he keeps throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. When he finds something, that's the lie he stays with --- until something better comes along.
