  Hm. These guys are disappointing. It’s a shame. Either they’re sufficiently stupid to believe that’s true or they’re lying and are confident people will believe them – in which case they have rather disproved their own assertions about the moral integrity of apolitical politics.

  And of course, were Jury Team to ever get any MPs (unlikely, I know) there would be some magic spell to avoid any of them claiming expenses in a way that’s within the rules but not terribly clever.

  Actually, I could quite happily criticise Paul Judge on the issue of sleaze since I’m in little danger of being sued for libel. Short memories, eh?

  Now can we stop caring who or what the Jury Team are, please. The rest of the fringe doesn’t get this attention from us.

  I don’t have a clue just who Lou Pritchett is but he certainly hits the
  nail
  on the head.

  AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA

  Dear President Obama,

  You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any
  of the others, you truly scare me.

  You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.

  You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy
  League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no
  visible signs of support.

  You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth
  growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.

  You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.

  You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don’t
  understand it at its core.

  You scare me because you lack humility and ‘class’, always blaming
  others.

  You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself
  with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly
  denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.

  You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the ‘blame America’ crowd
  and deliver this message abroad..

  You scare me because you want to change America to a European style
  country where the government sector dominates instead of the private
  sector.

  You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a
  government controlled one..

  You scare me because you prefer ‘wind mills’ to responsibly capitalizing
  on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.

  You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that
  lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the
  world.

  You scare me because you have begun to use ‘extortion’ tactics against
  certain banks and corporations.

  You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging
  you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.

  You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider
  opposing points of view from intelligent people.

  You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent
  and omniscient.

  You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you
  do.

  You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs,
  Hannitys, O’Relllys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of
  view.

  You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.

  Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably
  not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.

  Lou Pritchett
