Irony- Thy Name Is Rmoney!

As dedicated non-readers, you all know I absolutely love irony. And, I like politics. So, it follows that I would just love the irony of politics!

I do. It seems that everything our opposition in this country has slammed our president for, they could slam their own candidate for. Neat, eh?

Mitt Rmoney's dad was born in Mexico, a country largely considered by those outside of Mexico to be a foreign country. Though Mitten's is clearly White, his daddy was Mexican born. Republicans can dismiss this based on his obvious whiteness and note that the only reason George Romney was born in Mexico was because his father was forced to abandon America so he could have several wives- a practice which was FROWNED UPON in this establishment known as America, at the time. Still is.

But, IRONY ALERT! they still make a big deal about Obama's father having been Kenyan.

Obama is also a suspected Muslim. Still. And we wouldn't want someone with a weird religion running the country, would we?

Willard Mittens Rmoney is a Mormon. Though he rarely talks in appearances about this, he is a confessed Mormon!

The irony here is that mainstream Christian religions consider the Mormons to be a "cult". This means they don't like Mormons. It's not the Crips v. Bloods kinda thing but, they do consider Mormons to be a rival gang to be watched very closely. I cannot fathom that the same folks who make up the base of the GOP would want a guy who was a Bishop in this cult to lead them in Washington. Among their millions of faithful they couldn't find ONE guy who was Baptist (and born in this country) to run for POTUS??? They had a chance with Santorum...but, he turned out to be a Catholic.

Never minding religion, in 2008 a huge deal was made about Barack Obama never having served in the military like his opponent, John McCain, had. Obama had never successfully crashed planes or been captured by the enemy, the republican qualifications for POTUS, at the time.

IRONY ALERT! Rmoney spent two years of prime Vietnam service time serving as a missionary for his church. The rest of his time he had college deferments.

FULL DISCLOSURE: Barack Obama used grade school deferments to avoid the draft for Vietnam. So did I.

Somehow, the war-hawkish GOP overlooks this, this time around yet manages to point out that Obama never served! Younger than Mittens, this puts him in a six way tie with Rmoney's five sons who, not being eligible for a draft (there isn't one) did not feel the need to evade or serve. They did however complete missions for their church- something Barack H. Obama never did! So, suddenly, one man's lack of service is not important but, the other man's is. That's some irony that I shall not even bother to put in bold print. It's just fucking stupid.

And finally, at least for this purpose, there is the irony that Rmoney is considered to be a "businessman" while  Obama is not.

Well, their is no Rmoney Incorporated that one can drive by and say: "He built that!" You can't talk about your uncle or neighbor that works at Rmoney Inc. making...things...that you'll find in nearly every American household. Rmoney's Mexican dad made cars but, his son made money out of other people's misery and used other people's money to do it. The only jobs he created were overseas where, coincidentally, he also keeps his millions of dollars. His old 'company'- Bain Capital, outsourced jobs. They were and still are very good at it. (See: Sensata, in Freeport Il. But, hurry! They're having a 'Going-out-of-the-country sale, ironically, the day before the election.)

So, lots of irony here! More than I can detail. It's quite possible the irony will be on us, November 7th.

Now, that's some fucking irony, eh? Well, I did try to alert you all.
