If Swinton’s stunt was part of some national political strategy orchestrated by powerful people, she wouldn’t have made previous hoax calls that had nothing to do with anything political and she would have been calling from an utterly untraceable cell phone.

On the contrary, if you wanted someone to make a false report, the best way to find someone would be to look for a person that had already done so. My first thought was, how does a person on probation for filing a false report and additional pending charges become a delegate to the Democrat Convention? She works at an Insurance company. Who paid her $20,000.00 bail? She rents an apartment and probably does not have anything of value to put up as collateral against a loan. This just does not pass the smell test to me.

Your last paragraph about illegally paying below minimum wage to underage boys working construction and operating equipment they are not legally allowed to, leaves me cold. If a young man, of his own volition, can do a job well enough to be paid for his effort he should be. Furthermore, the minimum wage is just a Socialist device intended to thwart industry and should be abolished.

I agree with you re minimum wage laws (though these boys aren’t working “of their own volition”, making their employment very problematic regardless of what they’re paid). But I was pointing out various reasons why the FLDS issue has come to a head with the timing it has. And it isn’t due to some conspiracy to influence the Presidential election.

Swinton is an independent nutcase. Sure, if you want somebody to lie for you, you find a liar. But not one who keeps getting caught telling crazy irrational lies.

Better watch out for those black helicopters that have been seen in your neighborhood.
