Oh boy, Helen does it again!

It's so good, I wish I could post more than four paragraphs.

If Donald Trump really thinks Carly Fiorina has a pretty face, then my late husband really thought I had a skinny ass. Both are bad at lying. My point really being, who gives a crap? This isn’t one of Trump’s beauty pageants. These are the people who want to become the next President of the United States. Never in my life would I have believed that things could be worse than Sarah Palin.

Donald, honey, Mexicans are not all bad any more than Americans are all good. Kim Davis, Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter, George Bush… need I say more? In life we have to take the good with the bad, but I would suggest that if you look for the good in people, you might actually find the good in people. Sometimes I should take my own advice, but this lot of candidates makes it very hard to see the good in the GOP.

Love him or hate him, Donald is the front-runner because he embodies the beliefs of the current Republican Party. He’s quick to fight. He hates people who are not like him. He judges women by the way they look. He thinks a big wallet excuses all faults. Sound familiar? If the Republicans don’t want him as a front-runner, then maybe they should take another look at their party’s platform.

If Carly is going to use edited videos to make her point, maybe she should actually watch the edited videos which clearly she did not. There is no footage of a fetus kicking and screaming while Planned Parenthood plots to harvest its brain. As a woman, why lie about an organization that does more to help women in a day than you will ever do in a lifetime? It was like watching an episode of Finding Bigfoot. They never find him but gosh by golly they sure do think it’s real. I think women all over the world heard very clearly what Carly said, and most of them called bullshit. And good Lord but she always looks madder than a wet hen. Honey, have you given any thought to what being a Republican woman is doing to your health? Oh that’s right. You don’t care about the health of women. You want to defund Planned Parenthood.

But maybe this forum is just a big peanut gallery. It saved my life during the Bush years.

Unlike the cesspool of hate that is the current crop of GOP candidates, the staff of the TV show "Finding Bigfoot" entertains harmlessly while have the extremely remote chance of expanding human knowledge. If nothing else they showcase the natural beauty of the wild areas of the United States and discuss loss of habitat.

Jeb Bush. Bless his heart. He’s so useless if he had a third hand he’d need an extra pocket to stick it in.

The next line "I’m sorry your mother didn’t love you enough" reminded me of the line in Talladega Nights where the kid tells his grandfather "someone didn't love you enough when you little"
