"First, I must confess that I was put off of Ms. Palin because of my own lack of political fortitude and because of all of the negative hoisted upon her by Progressives who call Conservatives enemies and by John Boehner Conservatives who value the camaraderie of Barry Hussein Soetoro, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid above Tea Party Conservatives."

I'd like to introduce you to two terms used to describe bad writing technique in English.

The first is "malapropism."

The second, the run on sentence.
