"It's politics of personal destruction aimed at our own and it's got to stop. Right now a lawn gnome could beat Obama in 2012, so, yes, we can be picky, but not nasty or malicious. If we don't stop the Republican cannibalism we're simply turning this election over to the Democrats, who certainly don't deserve it." -- Christine O'Donnell. This quote is so full of irony and hypocrisy I don't even know where to start.

So Mitt Romney has a healthcare problem (his Romneycare plan in Massachusetts has a mandate and provides universal coverage, which are evil in the teabagger eyes, and worse, it was the model upon which Obamacare is based, which makes it now Satanic), and he has an immigration problem (the rich man looking to save a buck had no problem hiring undocumented workers before he was running for President). Now he has both problems again, this time together and multiplied by 10 or so.

Last week, we received a tip from an Alabama legal and political blog called the Legal Schnauzer. It seems they have been following the divorce of Ted Rollins from his wife. Ted Rollins is the son of the late John Rollins and step son of Michele. Ted Rollins has manipulated the legal system and misrepresented his considerable assets so as to lower his child support and alimony payments as much as possible, so low in fact, that Michele Rollins' grandchildren are on food stamps.
