No One Wants To Marry Mr. Electable

3 Comments
Throughout this political season, the only thing Mitt Romney hasn't flip-flopped on is his reason for his getting the nomination: Electability. Yawn. He is the guy that proposes to a woman and cites being a good provider as the main reason she should marry him. He then adds that he's dependable and quickly points out how passion is over-rated and not a good foundation for a marriage. Now, all of this may be true, depending on who Mr. Electable is proposing, but for most people it just doesn't cut it.

Rethug ‘Party Elders’ Search for A Winning Candidate Begins in 3…2…1…

Talk about a nomination that won't be worth shit, that's what the R's are facing. Not to mention unhealable self-inflicted wounds in that party that could well bring down the House and enable the D's to keep control of the Senate. Almost unthinkable considering the current economic straits. So, I have no doubt that search for an 'electable', or at least not 'disastrous', candidate may already surreptitiously be under way by the self-appointed 'adults' in the Party.

How much of an asshole is Mitt Romney?

"The idea that I am supposed to follow exactly what my dad did is not something I find terribly compelling." Mitt Romney, as quoted by The Hill, responding to those who note that his father, former Michigan Gov. George Romney, started the tradition of politicians releasing their tax returns in 1967. Nice. He throws his father under the bus, and then backs over him repeatedly. You know, Mittens, many Americans love their parents and do find compelling their advice and their past actions as a guide to how to behave. And even if they didn't, many Americans still respect their parents. This quote is dripping with a lack of respect, as if he is pissed that his father showed him up or got in his way.
