This is hard to believe.

Not only are Republicans about to nominate a man who exemplifies exactly what almost destroyed the American economy, the kind of person who set out to wreck it for personal profit, not only that -

Look at who is funding his campaign. The fellow who financed the Swift Boat dirty trick has donated $3 million to a pro-Romney PAC. Prior to that he donated $2.5 million to Karl Rove's PAC.

All of which indicates a dirty, lying smear coming from the Republicans on behalf of a candidate who has no respect for the American people.

"Bob Perry, owner of the Houston-area custom homebuilder Perry Homes and a longtime backer of conservative causes, gave $3 million last month to the pro-Romney super PAC Restore Our Future, according to a report filed Tuesday with the Federal Election Commission.

"Perry has been a prolific donor to Republican candidates and causes this election cycle, having previously given $1 million to the same pro-Romney super PAC, as well as $100,000 to a super PAC that backed Texas Gov. Rick Perry and $2.5 million to American Crossroads, the Republican super PAC founded by Karl Rove.

"Perry’s support is the latest example of how a small group of extremely wealthy donors are accounting for the bulk of the financing in this year's Republican presidential contest."

At least there will be a choice - a plutocracy, a government of the monied, for the monied and by the monied or at least a semblance of democracy.
