Here is the full text:<\/p>\n<p><em>Have you ever been caught in a lie while running for President of the United States?  If you want to make a current president jealous, look better in front of your political buddies who have real foreign relations experience, or if you are just a liar who got called out on your bogus campaign lies, this is the auction for you!!!  I&#8217;ll pretend that I am the leader of a foreign nation that supports your candidacy for President of the United States until the elections in November. <\/p>\n<p>As the imaginary leader of a foreign nation who supports your candidacy, I&#8217;ll play along with you with whatever you want me to say. If you want to tell some pesky Republican who call you out at a campaign stop that I support you, I&#8217;ll back you up. If you want me to claim that Bush has ruined the reputation of the United States, I&#8217;m up to it. Just like you, I&#8217;m willing to say anything it takes to get you elected, I won&#8217;t mean a bit of it, and I&#8217;ll change my stand on the situation when it is politically convenient. <\/p>\n<p>Shipping\/Handling charge for this item is $15.00, we only ship to Massachusetts. Payment must be received within 3 days of auction close. We accept Paypal (Mastercard, Visa, E-Checks), Money Orders, Certified Checks, or fraudulent donations from Moveon.org in US Funds and cash. As soon as I receive your payment I&#8217;ll mail off the press release to CNN, Fox, ABC, NBC, and CBS stating the fact that we have a relationship going back to the start of the Bush presidency. I am the ultimate online fake leader of a foreign nation!!!!<\/p>\n<p>*****THIS DOES NOT MEAN I AM YOUR REAL SUPPORTER!!!!!This is only pretend!!!!!***** When our time is up, right before the election, I&#8217;ll send out another press release stating that this was all fake. Hey, I&#8217;m out for a buck, I&#8217;m not insane. But who are we kidding, if flip flopping on the issues makes a person less trustworthy, you would have dropped out of the race already.<\/p>\n<p>This is a private auction your user id will not be shown on here!!!!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Currently on eBay: Update: EBay took down the auction (they aren&#8217;t any fun).
