Lies and the Lying Liars, Sanctified Edition

Those pious posers, the Machiavellian morons who consider themselves "leaders" of the Religious Right: Every last motherfucking one of them has sold their birthright for a mess of manure. 'The Base' (otherwise known as 'al Qaeda' in an alternative rendering) is disaffected due to the GOP's lack of dedication to the burning issues of our day--abortion and gay rights. To hell with the quagmire in Iraq; to hell with rampant corruption; to hell with an ailing economy; to hell with the widows and orphans. And to hell with honesty. No deception is disallowed when it comes to the all-important goal of ensuring GOP control of Congress. Otherwise, we might have women, Jews and minorities in charge of congressional committees! Heaven forbid!

As I've said before in this space, some folks gonna be in for a nasty surprise come Judgment Day.

“Hello, I am with ABC polls,” a suggested script began.
