The first republican president said "You can fool some of the people all of the time".
And all of the people, some of the time, BUT, you can't fool all of the people, all of the time.
We all got fooled by GWB and mittens, but we looked at the alternatives and gagged.
Sometimes we ate shit by the bushel, so we could find a mushroom.
We puked but the alternative was so repulsive that we did self flagellation, took the bit in our teeth, and charged ahead.
