@izzythepush,
Well, I wouldn't put anything past the rightwing here. By their unending nasty lies and innuendo they've been able to convince fully a third of their number that our President is not even a legitimat citizen, and that he's a secret Muslim. The truth means nothing to them. There is no moral boundary they won't cross, notwithstanding the protestations that you will hear that insist both sides are equally guilty of the nastiness.
And as their poll numbers continue to drop day to day, no doubt their desperation will mix with their nastiness to produce some truly epic proportions of slime.
Maybe if they had a real candidate they wouldn't sink as low.
