Ha ha Mitt Romney. Way to go numbnuts. You had it going your way. The February Caucus and Primary schedule was like Manna from Kolob. You were going to cruise so far ahead of Newt and the Pretenders that Super Tuesday in March would be just a little speed bump on the way to the nomination.
Then you had to go off script and say what you “really believe”: That you don’t give a shit about poor people. Oops. I thought Plastic Face Brinker and the fools at Susan G. Komen were the fockups of the week, but last night put the crown on your head, Mitt.
Ass whippings in all three bellweather states to the empty sweater vest that is Rick Santorum. Coming from behind (pun intended), Santorum is the latest in the “weakly” Musical Chairs game of “Anyone but Romney”. It appears that Romney’s gaffe of contempt for anyone who doesn’t have offshore bank accounts hit him right between the eyes.
I would like to think that Mitt is now toast, but the Super Pac’s will probably save him in the “end”. Ha ha.
Personal insight: I live in Salt Lake City. (Where the only place a Jew is a Gentile!). I think you are starting to see some anti-Mormon sentiment rearing its head. No one really talks about that dynamic much on the national scene but those of us caffeine imbibers living in the Occupied Theocracy of Utah are pretty sensitive to all this.
I’m no Obama fan. The more this Civil War bloodies the Republicans, the further Obama pivots to the right to pick up disaffected Republicans and rightward leaning Independents. But having suffered through perennial losers on the left like Dukakis and Kerry, Schadenfraude is a small consolation. So I hope the madness continues now that the Super Bowl has come and gone. This Republican Nomination process is like watching a blood sport.

Heh, all politics today are blood sport hoss, thanks to the ONLY thing you don’t allude to (love yer word styles btw) which is the corporate fascist 1% ownership of it all.
Matters not Romney, Santorum, Obama, it’s all fully ginned up and controlled in all political electees, appointees and in our jobs and daily lives.
Fully owned and operate.
N while it’s fun to poke fun at teh GOP, THE REST of the process including SCOTUS, Prez and Congress and all state, county and city offals is fully bought and paid for, and there’s nothing you or I alone can do to change that.
Other than to wait it out and watch it all collapse of its own volition like all empires do when they fail to care for the masses.
I’ll be dead long before that collapse, likely, altho, sometimes I wonder if I won’t see it fully, world wide, in the next 20 years I got left . . .
On we trudge, with or without it all . . .
I can’t see anyone in their right minds voting Republican unless they are
1. very rich, white and male
2. so racist, bigotted, or brainwased by religion to the extent that they will vote against their own interests
That the Republican party even exists is a testament to the stupidity and bigotry of the U.S.
Agree with your take, plus like the post, too.
Agree that it matters not who actually “wins” the position with the title “President of the US.” That “title” is essentially meaningless insofar as the 99% are concerned bc whoever “sits” in the Oval Office is simply a lackey of the 1% and jumps to their commands… whether they’re some insanely greedy Mormon or some purportedly “poor” mixed race guy who allegedly went to Columbia and Harvard.
Whatever… we are pretty much home & hosed. I will support Occupy as much as I can, but I think we just have to wait it out.
The 1% is playing for keeps, and sadly, they hold most of the cards in a stacked deck.
It’s quite clear that the so-called “Republican” Party exists NOW solely to be voice of the two groups you mention. It’s just pandering to a very very narrow fringe of either Country Club Republicans and the lunatic (often evangelic) fringe. Both groups tend to be very racist, so in a Venn Diagram, that’s what they have in common.
The fact that Clint Eastwood – a well-known conservative who endorsed John McCain in 2008 – can participate in a Superbowl ad, which basically was a call for USA citizens to put aside our differences and *work together* collectively to make our nation strong again, and then be *immediately* and *resoundingly* dissed by KKKarl Rove & the rest of those disgusting rightwing HATErs makes it CLEAR what their goals, mission & intentions are.
The 1% is *committed* to the strategy of divide & conquer by any means possible.
That’s why their Kabuki Show called “Republican Primary” is such a sham. It’s pathetic, but who cares anyway? We’re screwed no matter who “wins.”
