At times I wonder if I could stand it. Some days I think: "Let the bastards have their country back!"
Let them have a CEO instead of a president. Hey- maybe he'll sell off some of the lesser performing states and we'll be done with Mississippi? Did you know there is an Idaho? Did you ever care?
But, let them have their country back because they did so well at things during the Bush years... Remember him? It was just over three years ago.
I still wonder if they are serious about the presidency. It's gonna be Romney as candidate and no one wants that. Not you, not me and not the GOP. I can't for the life of me understand how that happens. Yesterday on the Today Show, Sarah Palin was Queen For The Day and she regurgitated what I hear on Topix all the time; "ANYBODY BUT OBAMA!"
"Anybody"? Even Romney? Well, maybe not him....
By the way, does she regurgitate them or do they regurgitate her? Is she like mama bird Alicia Silverstone chewing up her baby's food and feeding him mouth-to-mouth or, the way around? Yikes, either way.
How do you run a campaign against someone where you goal is to replace that person with anyone? See, anyone could be anyone. George Zimmerman! He's anyone. And, he's quite popular with the reich for his stance on Negro shooting. And he's being "persecuted" by liberal elites such as myself. He's certainly in favor of the Second Amendment and tough on crime. He could be anyone.
Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum are anyone but they are even less popular than Romney. Ron Paul too. Did you know he was still in the race? As of this morning, all three still are. It's any one's guess as to why. My guess is book/speaking fees and a better time slut on Fox. No, that's not a typo.
The thing about not having four more years of Obama is not having to listen to four more years of horrible talk of how horrible Obama is. Maybe it would make these assholes shut the fuck up?
Not a chance. They still talk about Jimmy Carter! That was the 70's, man! They won't let him go and they won't let Obama go. There would be no "Obama Derangement Syndrome" where the country is ordered to move on and not blame Obama for the Romney inadequacies. All the good Obama has done, Romney has sworn to undo on his first day. If he could do that, the actions and results themselves would only spin to serve that Obama had been *wrong* all along, that the economy had not actually been rebounding and that the only- ONLY- way out was not taxing rich people and war with Iran.
But, at least we wouldn't be socialist anymore because welfare, SSI, unemployment insurance and all those other horrible, communist things Obama had instituted since he took office in the 1930's would be gone!
Of course I want 4 more years. I think the GOP does too. They didn't want to follow GW Bush's act in '08 and that's why they ran McCain/Palin. They had to show up at the election with somebody. They know they can't win this time around either. If they don't want Romney, why should independents? Four more years of Obama means they stand a fair chance of getting the ball at the start of the second half, with the country in far, far better shape than they left it in '08. It's their only chance and I think they know it. Eight years of Clinton gave way to eight years of Bush because of our sense of fair play where, when things are going well, let the uncoordinated kids into the game. We're winning, right? Well, with Obama we will be. He can't idiot-proof the country. But, four years from now, maybe Russ Feingold?
Interesting....

the GOP didn't really want it in 2004, I think they were genuinely surprised that GW won.
they didn't want it in 2008, Palin is proof of that.
they don't seem to care very much in 2012, Romney is the candidate that the GOP likes the least.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if there was record-low voter turnout.
(and yes, when I moved I registered as a republican in our new town so I could vote in the primary)
I like to say I'm a registered republican on the threads while I defend healthcare.

it's funnier that way.
xoxoxo

That is funnier that way, Annie!!! I agree on all counts. A lot of R's might sit this one out as Romney is just nothing to get excited about.
