Maybe. Every con artist will pretend he’s on your side, because you’ll be less suspicious of him once you think that’s true. That’s probably why the lefties never can get rid of their own grifters like Jessie Jackson, Michael Moore, and Al Gore. They think they’re on the same team, so they don’t suspect they’re being played.
