Snakes in the grass on the campaign trail
Canada Free Press ^ | 09/20/16 | Judi McLeod

My unexpected encounter with a live snake lying in wait a few feet from where I was working inside the house, reminds me of what lies on the road to Election 2016.

Shrieks to be heard coming from Lake Huron country yesterday morning were mine and not Hillary’s. My little dog Yankee tipped me off to its presence by trying to growl it away, and while someone else was getting rid of it, I was already out on the deck leading from the room where it was found, shivering and shaking.

It was only a garter snake, and a little one at that, but I couldn’t help but wish that Totsy, ‘Queen of the Canada Free Press Comment Section’, was here to give me a much needed dose of common sense. Totsy, who living in Louisiana, would be used to much bigger snakes, would have told me there was no need to flee in fear from such a tiny reptile.

What is it that Obama, the elitists and the Democrats know...?

They know which it guys need to be bribed to switch the necessary amount of votes in the necessary hub servers to squeak Mrs bill across the finish line. It's that easy this year. You think an IT guy won't take half a million dollars to switch a few votes? Soros can easily buy enough of them as can the DNC or the Clinton Foundation.

It depends on what Pres. Soetoro wants for the Clintons. His permitting the FBI to put out all that information even while abjuring indictment indicates that perhaps Hussein would not mind if Mrs Bill loses. Then perhaps the Clintons might NOT get their expected pardons and the Clintons would cease to trouble the Obama/Brotherhood wing of the Party. They would control the whole party and most of the government even with a Trump Presidency. A Republican President has historically had little influence on the Permanent Government at the top of which is the EPA. The Agencies coexist well with a Democrat but fight tooth and nail against a non leftist President. Barak will own it.
