Hillary Clinton could be the most unctuous candidate to run for president since her husband Bill.

Some candidates hair appears more unctuous than others. It’s the difference between hair spray and snake oil.

2016: A Poem:

Repetitions robotic,
Propositions Despotic,
Questions that stretch his ability?
Arguments about eligibility.
Soon to stand trial for perjury,
Thinks running isn’t Brain Surgery.
Uses words that are rambunctious,
Comes across as a bit unctuous.
One whose hair looks lacquered,
One who destroyed Hewlett Packard,
An old commie who’s era has passed,
And old JEB, who will come in dead last.

The wind is very telling when combined with combovers! Too much product causes the entire unctuous mess to appear airborne revealing way to much pate !

Right on time, the TV program’s pUnctuous political commercials roil another victim’s attention into lethargy and ignorance. Or is that the 2 hours of the democratic party commercials each evening on Oboma’s ABCNNBCBA news reports?

OMG! My very sentiment. And now we have Chelsea Clinton announcing that she left the Baptist Church at age 6 because of their stance on abortion! She’s almost worse than her parents.

Did you hear Geraldo this AM on Fox & Friends arguing that Benghazi is a fabrication by Republicans?

NO, I quit network news after Megyn Kelly exposed herself and FOX. Geraldo is nuts.

Chelsea just lost the last of the Christian vote with that comment. She worships at the altar of sex and abortion, not with our God. I will repeat...Prayers for her and her family, they are in desperate need.
