Accept It, GOP: Mitt Romney Is All You've Got

Guess Who

There's one part of the Rick-Perry-sucks-at-debatin' story that's been left out: it wasn't just that Perry may as well have been on stage blowing goats(*) for how appalling he was. That's the easy headline. No, the truth is that Mitt Romney kicked Perry's ass all over the Orlando Convention Center last week. When he first announced he was running, pundits across the spectrum expected Perry to just saunter into the GOP saloon, order whiskey, shoot the piano player, down the shot, and take the whore upstairs, all before the doors had stopped swinging.

But at the Fox "news"/Google (really?) debate in batshit insane central Florida, it was the Harvard-educated milk drinker who told Perry that he didn't like his pretty girl hair and then wiped the floor with him.

*I'd pay to see that! Please, God...

Look, dear GOP: Mitt Romney will be your nominee and, truly, there is nothing you can do about it. You can go through this whole charade. You can get Sarah Palin in on the party. Chris Christie ain't gonna run no matter how much money or pie you dangle in front of him because, while he may be despicable, he's smart: he knows that he's got a far better chance of winning in 2016. So there is no savior for you. There is no genuine hope on the horizon. You are stuck with the boring Mormon who is desperately trying for crazy conservative street cred by beating up on the cowboy. Sorry to tell you all, but this year is about Romney finally buying the nomination and then losing to Obama. End of story. (Note: Unless Republican efforts to steal the election through limiting voter access succeed.)

And why is that? Obviously, because the Republican Party is fucking insane right now. [...]

Please read the rest.

I've got a sneakin' hunch that no matter how the batcrap crazies vote in the primaries, the GOP ruling wing is gonna go with Willard as their nominee. They'll lose by less that way.

(Note: Local insanity is far more likely to succeed than national insanity, so the nutzoids could win more congressional seats.)

Indeed. All politics and a good bit of insanity are local.

You wanna hear local insanity? NY State just dropped the eye test requirement for getting a driver's license. AS if we all don't drive shitty enough already, now we're gonna let blind folks drive.

That's crazy. Might be self-correcting. Hope you can see well enough to get outta the way!

Hello Gordon,

I disagree with your choice of the election of 2012. The rethugs motto is multitasking (they can't spell it but they can certainly do it especially with changing voting laws). If some of them are not made into laws this year then there is still next year and the years after. Their voting machines are in place and there is no hope that these machines will produce an honest result. I call them "dial-a-vote" machines. As per J. Stalin (approximation of his quote). It does not matter who casts the vote but who counts the votes.
