This is actually the best reason to support Barack Obama: he may be so far left that he makes Hillary look conservative, but at least he doesn’t have a history of corruption a thousand miles long. Hillary doesn’t even hide her intention to cheat to win: she’s perfectly happy to make the threat while the people she means to disenfranchise are still voting!
