If You Like Monsanto, You’ll LOVE Mitt Romney

Sit back, think the word “Monsanto,” and then enjoy the idyllic images that sweep into your mind…

Toxins, some of which aren’t even listed on the ingredients label.

Genetically modified (GMO) crops which are resistant to insect pests, and which in turn are creating a new generation of bugs and weeds which are resistant to Monsanto’s genetically resistant crops.  Talk about an arms race.

And most heartwarming of all:  Hundreds of thousands of farmers in India who have committed suicide after being driven into debt by Monsanto.  (Google it.)

And now, take all these warm and fuzzy Kodak images and add two more ingredients:  Bain Capital and Mitt Romney.

Between 1977 and 1985, Monsanto was overwhelmed by scandals and lawsuits.  They turned to Bain Capital for help.  Monsanto executives were so impressed with Mitt Romney, they started bypassing Romney’s superiors so they could deal with Mitt personally.

Two — out of many — of Monsanto’s most notorious scandals were Agent Orange and the dumping of millions of pounds of PCBs into creeks and landfills near Anniston, Alabama.  They needed an image makeover, and fast.

And Mitt Romney delivered.

This is exactly what makes up today’s Republican Party:  a few gigantic amoral unaccountable corporations, and a few million Biblehumping snake-handlers who want to bring back the Salem Witch Trials.

Unborn babies are sacred.  As soon as they’ve been born:  POISON them.
