LOL!!! I just found out a rich guy I know has fled the country until after the election!!!

He's a Bill O'Reilly / FOX "News" fan and he is on a Mediterranean cruise. He scheduled this trip MONTHS ago.

Get a load of this. He called me just now from Athens and I asked him why he wasn't here for the election and he said, "Because Romney is going to win and the blacks are going to riot. I don't want to be there for that."

Athens, eh? Did he go there to tell them to just give all their poor a quick kick in the balls and to let the sick (who are not rich) just go ahead and die?

How sad that his cruise is about to loose all meaning.

He worked for a guy who owned a construction company and got really friendly with him, inviting him and his wife over for BBQs with him and his wife of the time. They would go out to movies and dinner on like a double date, they had bridge games,...all that stuff. Played foursomes at golf. After a year the owner made him a full partner in the business and this right-wing asshole I know conned the owner into letting him do the books. He managed to then con the guy into giving him an Unlimited Power of Attorney and he promptly used it to transfer ownership of the company over to himself cutting the original owner off completely. The ultimate hostile takeover. The original owner was so upset fighting it in court that he committed suicide. Now for the ultimate outrage,...this pig showed up at the funeral and hit on the widow.

BTW: On the bright side, he didn't vote this time.

I saw a picture of the guy from back then. He almost looked like Mr. Potter.

They want what is theirs and they will take it however they can. They are murderous thugs. One must wonder how many people died or gave up because of Bain.
