<blockquote>When the dust settled, Mitt&rsquo;s lobbying effort brought over $1.5 Billion to the SLC Games. In 2000 the GAO did an audit of US taxpayer support for Olympic Games in the country.

I believe that&#039;s a Diet Pepsi bottle (have you seen the You-Tube video of the cameraguy getting the bottle right in the kisser?) - but I certainly get the idea.
I still think Mr. Huntsman was the best candidate the GNoP had. His trouble was, he&#039;s just too good for them. They don&#039;t deserve nice candidates.
The Republicans have gone from quoting polls to &quot;Well, I&#039;ve seen the &#039;internals&#039; and they show Romney is in the lead&quot; to &quot;Polls? Who needs stinkin&#039; polls? Ya want polls, go to Poland.&quot;
I believe I posted a similar thought here on Wonkette. The GNoP has gone from Sen. McCain in 2008 to the guy who couldn&#039;t beat Sen. McCain in 2012.
And the Koch Bros, Murdoch, and all those bazillionaire friends should dump their entire fortune$$$ on electing him. &#039;Cause, you know, he&#039;s clearly such a winner and stuff. Really.

Well, but that&#039;s because of the fudge, no?
Mitt&#039;s seams are showing.

Now that we have a 30 year head start on the mud slinging how about we just call it even and agree not to do it any more?
Bain sold them off to the Chinese
