A problem I've always had with the Democrats and progressives is that too many of us think we know best and can be irritatingly condescending to not only people who aren't in total agreement with every wondrous thing we say, but in many cases, irritatingly condescending to people that agree with everything we say since our thoughts are so wondrous and our minds so advanced we must treat everyone like shit.
Republicans don;t have this problem with their elites since their ideas and thoughts are so simplistic and ignorant they can't feel the elitism too many liberals feel. And this makes the right leaning voter so damn loyal while too many progressive leaning voters think voting for Ralph Nader is sending a message or some ridiculous thing. Or holding a grudge because our candidate lost the primary so I won't support the other guy.
This has been an advantage held by republicans since 1972 when the democratic primary ended up with George McGovern beating Hubert Humphrey and Edmund Muskie. Since then the only way the Democrats could win was not so much by great ideas and inspiring message, but because shit was so bad thanks to republican mismanagement that there was no way a republican could win.
The republicans are experts at taking shit and making chocolate cake out of it. Ronald Reagan is the greatest example. George W. Bush, who just enough Americans were convinced was a compassionate conservative and not the total moron and shithead he showed us he was during debates, is another great example. But sadly for republicans, good for America, they have nobody running in their primaries that not even Karl Rove could bake chocolate cake out of.
Looking at Iowa and how some votes were "lost", it means Mitt Romney actually came in second to Rick Santorum. Too bad for Rick Santorum that Romney got all the headlines for winning Iowa.
John McCain endorsed Romney but the reality is that nobody cares what that addle brained joke McCain thinks. Tea party favorites like Michelle Bachman and Rick Perry endorsed Gingrich. And these two people are idiots which gives their words great weight among the idiots who make up the republican voting base.
Mitt has a great organization and lots of money. But for whatever reason, there's always something about Mitt that makes republicans want to look elsewhere. Crazy shit is happening. It's almost as if it's designed to keep Mitt from getting a lock on the nomination, while making sure whomever charges up the polls is an unelectable kook like Bachman, Santorum, Cain or Gingrich.
Republicans are is nothing else, organized and obedient. They will vote for whomever the republican nominee is. And as of now, that nominee hasn't been chosen for them. The pot is being stirred and it may end up being Romney for no other reason that the republican elite have figured out Obama is going to win anyway and he deserves another term. Why waste Jeb Bush, Chris Christie or Marco Rubio when Rove and the right wing spinmeisters have four years to mold them into right wing deities?

I feel sorry for the GOPers. If that's the best they've got, then they should all go lock themselves in a room and bang their little, tiny heads against a cement wall.
It'll feel good when they stop.
The republicans are experts at taking shit and making chocolate cake out of it.
LOL!!!!!
Hey, some soulless fucker in that group will always figure he can make a buck or two that way. And like bears shit in the woods some moronic conservative with a stainless steel rod up his butt will buy it and like some Orwellian character be thankful for the feces.
Once upon a time Romney would have probably made a decent general election candidate. Unfortunately, the dude's made 10-20-1,000 too many irrational (and/or divisive) comments over the past year for that to have stuck and now he looks like nothing more than a partisan stooge. American politics at it's worst.
It is really entertaining to watch republicans try to put a positive spin on this group of candidates.
Hey all you d*psh*ts here at
Truth 101 - Check out my post tonight and see how I stood up and ripped on Rick Santorum.
and would it kill ya to comment?
You know what really sucks?
George Romney, the father of Mitt Romney, has got to be rolling in his grave watching what his son is doing and what the Republican Party has sank to!
Of course, George Romney was a REAL businessman who was also a REAL moderate Republican (today he would be considered "Hard Left!")
CNN has now turned Newt Gringrich's open marriage whore mongering into a positive and Newt will end up getting a bump in the polls for his debate performance on his whore mongering (leave it to the liberal MSM to turn a negative into a positive).
Based upon the job math of Romney and the supporters of the Keystone Pipeline I can now brag that I have created more jobs than the pipeline and Mitt Romney COMBINED!
I paid less than 15% taxes in 2010 and I was a real whore mongerer before I got married!
I want your family to have values too!
If I was a Republican I would be their ideal candidate!
All the more reason to vote for you TAO.
I hated Newt till I found out about the whoremongering.
hey Sue: I thought you disabled comments. And we don't appreciate being called dipshits. Whoremongers is okay. In fact, being a Nihilist, it's a badge of honor.
Republicans are loyal partisan stooges Will. Our partisans aren't loyal. Perhaps we could use whoremongering as a common ideal we can build upon.
"Souless fucker with a stainless steel rod up his butt." Priceless Beach Bum. This calls for a tasteless and insensitive gay republican comment but I will refrain. Plus I have to leave for work and don;t have time.
Sorry Joe.
But really dickhead - did you even check out my analysis of the Debates and now my proposal to
stage a really cool roundtable discussion on JOBS by the four Republican Candidates?
All comments are welcome and I have once more enabled them.
Give me a break here you sonuvabigtch and check out my blog - that is if you are not jealous of my superior intelligence as opposed to the bullshit and meaningless discussions that take place here on the BEST AND MOST
IMPORTANT BLOG EVER -
hands down
AND I'M TALKING ABOUT
T R U T H 1 0 1
Truth, the only reason that Mr. Gingrich whoremongered was his love of country. You know that.
You been hanging out with the righties again Sue?
Oh no Joe - I don't hang out with the Righties. I fuckin live in the same house with the biggest, baddest Repulican of them all.
Do you know what Truth. I got myself a *ivorce *awyer so I could break free and be all that I can be.
But I had to back down since my sonofabitch Rep. huband has taken the checkbook and got into my purse behind my back and took my credit cards. I have to ask him for any little thing I want.
He learned how to be mean in the United States Army. He was a lietenant colonel and a VN Veteran.
He knows how to scare me.
This is how inherently stupid I am.
Because I'm letting him get away with it. Only a very stupid woman would continue to live like this.
See Joe - I am a prisoner in my own house. But he's got himself a wife doesn't he.
And he's not going to let me go..
Thanks for letting me express my offtopic opinions here at your blog.
I promise not to do it again until
the next time Joe.
TAO - Once a whore monger always a whore monger. At least by your logic anyway. That is of if you're going to be consistent anyway.
But Joe - I saw on CNN just now that the Republicans are going to turn to Jeb Bush at the Convention.
How about them apples - Joe?
They must read Truth 101 also because I said that a week ago Sue.
And isn't it coincidental that Jeb Bush hasn't endorsed anyone.
Truth is never wrong. And while I said at the time that Jeb would wait until 2016, I may have been wrong. But a THIRD Bush??? Are the republicans really willing to take that chance? But then again, what do they have to lose? And lose is the only thing they can do with this current crop of losers.
Joe - Jeb Bush is not going to be President of the United States.
Joe - I just know it -
because I heard it straight from the Big Guy....
in the Burning Bush.
: )
Someone set Bush on fire?!? Senior or junior?
Imdid't think shit would burn!
That's suppose to be I didn't.
You disappointed me, Truth. I thought that I could rope you in with that Garbo-Dietrich torrid love affair post. It just wasn't meant to be, I guess.
Jerry C. - You know those Bushes really Burn Me Up.
Sue,
You are a real flaming liberal.
Hi Joe - Weren't the Debates really sh*tty?
I got so embarrassed in the last half hour I had to turn it off.
I fully believe that the Rushpubliscums are preparing to anoint Jebbo. As the only non-Klansman among them, he's the only one with a shot. And, if they turn to Jebbo, Newt and Willard will fall in line, because they will already have destroyed each other.
Why thanks - Jerry Critter.
A couple of years ago I was known on the Conseravtive Blogs as an
asshat.
Pretty good for an old whitehaired housewife - don't ya think.
I consider white hair (although my wife prefers to call it silver) a badge of honor.
