GOP Yucks it up over Rendell Joke
Republican candidate for state treasurer Tom Ellis took a dig at Gov. Rendell during remarks this morning at the Pennsylvania delegation breakfast at the Republican Convention, John Baer reports.

Ellis spoke about going to county fairs and noted that food on a stick is always available. Then he said that at a fair in Bucks County, they offered a ten-pound turkey on a stick. "They called it the Ed Rendell special," he said to the delight of his GOP audience.

    Now Idiots4Obama you make me laugh. Clinton and Obama lie??? Puh-leez. Check any independent site like factcheck.org or politifact.com and you can easily see that McCain and the Rethugs lie at least twice as often as Democrats do. But what am I talking about? You right wingers don't want to be confused with facts. Right? It's a fact if it agrees with your pre-determined opinion, and a lie if it doesn't. And since the sites I mentioned don't agree with what you believe, then they're not neutral, right? If Rush told you the sky was orange you'd believe it. Lucky for you all, I can't hold you in contempt: you're too pathetic and stupid.
