I’m not familiar, precisely, with exactly what I said,
but I stand by what I said, whatever it was. --Mitt Romney
“A less Christian nation”
Is what Obama wants this land to be.
That disinformation
Is what I told my pal Sean Hannity.
I knew it was a lie.
I like to throw the right wing meat that’s red.
So I am standing by
The slur I don’t remember that I said.
