12. A Paid Shill...
Is someone who is being paid by a particular campaign or cause to make comments on message boards, etc.. to make it appear there is more support for a candidate/position than there really is.

Sometimes these people actually believe their statements, even though they are being paid for them... however, mostly, the money will dictate the message and what they "believe".

It sometimes amazing to watch people completely shift their entire view on a subject because a particular candidate said something contrary to what their previous posts indicated was their position. These glaring logic inconsistencies are the easiest way to spot a paid shill.

16. Large vocabulary and nasty attitude available for whoring here.
Inquire within.

If any of the leading candidates must be president, I want to at least be able to afford health care.

20. Aside from my paycheck, I have no other income, and I live in Euroland
And I'm paid in dollars, so any additional income will not be turned away.
Euros or Sterling only, please.

Send the Shill Employment agency on over, and let me know what they're offering.
