Exclusive: John Rocker likens election process to skilled illusionist's trickery
Whether it’s good old-fashioned sleight of hand, smoke and mirrors or just some basic switch-a-roo, being visually and sometimes mentally fooled can be quite entertaining and oftentimes downright comical. Most of us enjoy to some degree trying to beat the illusionist at his own game.

But will Mitt have the guts to kick out all the minions hussein has placed in key departments or do anything about all the ridiculous new laws? I doubt it.
The author’s biggest problem is that he refuses to be responsible for himself, he refuses to admit that his responsibility is to do his own due diligence, not wait for the candidates’ campaign commercials to inform him.
Campaign commercials ARE FOR THE UNINFORMED.
The guy is an idiot.
I don’t know, Sarge. But Mitt does have a track record in business that doesn’t suffer fools gladly. They FIRE them. Bob
Yeah, what band was he in again?
