Rmoney cheerleaders on some of the overpasses on husband's way to work this morn

He called me and told me and then said maybe the enthusiasm for scumney was bigger than for Obama.

I told him 1) they're probably being paid $15 per hour by the Koch brothers to do it and

2) He's driving through our conservative country where liberals are few and far between

We're in Colorado and I always enjoy driving into Denver during election season - it's like a whole different world than out here in the land of Jesus and mega churches.

Boy, that is really stretching it. Do you really think that the Koch Bros. are paying them $15.00/hr. to do this?

Try $5.00/hr. Remember that little thingy about repealing the minimum wage?

I think the compensation needs to be pretty big to incentivize someone to take their time and go canvass for willard.

That's the only reason I used that dollar amount.

These are mostly super-teabagger libertarian college students, the same nuts that were cheering on Ron Paul.

And all the commuters stuck in traffic because these idiots are up there waving signs are not going to appreciate them being there.
