I cant believe you guys are promoting this MITT ROMNEY Illuminati Zionist show!!!
Why would I want to watch it? I don't like throwing up, all that much! Same for the Democrat convention.
I am wondering why would anyone want to watch a Bildeberger owned production that only promotes the illusion of choice foisted upon us by evil Illuninati/Nazi cabal? Republicans/Democrats both owned by the same evil elite. Time to support outside the two party system and tell the MSM to pound sand.
I personally refuse to watch any of this diversionary circus of fraud and lies. Unless it's Ron Paul speaking I don't give a flip. Stop supporting the lies spread through the media. Just my opinion and plea.
I totally agree that the two parties are totally controlled by the Corporations.
I would suggest checking out the Twelve Visions Party or TVP for short.
This is not a typical third party.
Completely different. Completely will Heal America and restore our Country with a protection only Government. Read the Prime Law and understand it.
Thanks for your research in advance.
