The powers that be are making deals. And, Romney, yesterday gave his backing to a program of vouchers that is designed to be another step in the dismantling of medicare. He was speaking before an American's For Prosperity event and this language was directly meant to show his submission before the Koch brothers. It is done. The die is cast. Romney will run as a moderate, but will govern as a Koch brother from another mother.
But, he has a problem. Nobody believes a word he says. So, he will have sell himself to the Republican caste system as a package deal. They think he will pull through in the primary contests, but they want a conservative winner in the general election.
That leads only one option.....Gingrich. A man who is an angry neocon dogfighter and someone who can win any audience if given enough time.
Gingrich has made it clear, through his lack of fundraising, that he was always running for the vice-presidency. He has very consistently avoided alienating any of the other candidates.
The remaining candidates....
Herman Cain was a Koch Brothers invention from the start and was only meant to be a vehicle for inserting this 9 9 9 horseshit into our national lexicon. It would be disaterous for the middle class, but the right hopes to push the agenda so far to the right that anything to the left of it seems moderate. Brilliant, but evil.
Rick Perry is done. He can't give stump speech and he can't debate. The powers that be already have written him off as president or as vice-president.
Also, the other candidates despise Perry as an imposter.
So, that leaves Romney + Gingrich. A northern Mormon moderate and a southern Dogmatic philandering philosopher.
We do live in interesting times.
Dang it I was hoping for Sarah
Oh well its Obama again. Jeeze why can't the Republicans put together something besides a morally bankrupt hypocrite and a leader of a religious cult?
I just don't get it. Are all the Dubyas spoken for?
I told you Perry would be out. He'll hide out for another week and then drop out. He will endorse Newt Gingrich.
I don’t know about you, but that polygamy thing sounds pretty hot to me
I could use the extra income. Maybe I could do a little more golfing and fishing
And maybe the new wife could take a little pressure off me from my horny wife, if you know what I mean
Tell your wife that I will be late tonight.
Good luck dude, If you are going to put that fire out, you better bring a lot of hose!
Ha. That was not what I was expecting.
Me neither! --- (-:

Are you talking to me. I didn't vote for Bush
Sarah rocks who? Put a wig on Rick Perry and you see what will happen to Palin if she's ever handed a follow-up question.

This makes perfect sense. Damn good insight.
lol @ the Rick Perry in New Hampshire video
My money was on Romney as the pick since the very start of the campaigning.
But my money was also on Obama winning the election. He is doing everything the moderate Republicans could ask for, the only ones truly unhappy are the extremists, as you've pointed out.
But, let's see what happens.
The American public seems to be in "throw the bum out" mode lately, no matter who the bums happen to be and no matter which party they're from.

Romney has something like 55% negatives within his own party. You think someone with a cumulative ~75% national negative rating could beat anyone? I dare say Obama could win even if dead.
Heads ups at this stage are useless. Negative ratings like that though are murder.
Romney will look like a white horse when he's done cleaning these guys' clocks in the debates and in the primaries. The Republicans always rally around their great white hope. They fit their opinions to their options and their only option in beating Obama is Romney. Plus, he would get the Utah vote. Hurray.
Wonder if Ron Lawl will pull it out of the hat!
Who is Ron Lawl?
A cheap imitation of me.
He sounds like a transvestite porn star.
lol! I was so sure that I wrote Ron Lawl. I doubt he'll win, but it's nice to see a non-liar in the field.
LOL: Edit... it's auto changing the word Paul to Lawl when I write Ron P aul.
are they a football team?
Romney does not have to pick from the his running mates.... perhaps we will pick Buddy Romer or a more moderate Republican voice, obviously a very christian one though, else his Mormonism starts rubbing off on the country.
John McCain hated evangelicals.
The republican party wooed the strident christians to be able to defeat the democrats back in the 60's. It worked, which was the creation of the religious right. These folks pretty much believe that romneys faith is a non christian cult and they will not back him, which is part of why his polling numbers dont change...the other part being that he has a history of instituting programs that the right generally disapproves of. I live in a county that is mainly made of this group and ive had to listen to their viewpoints for years... They will not select romney in the primary, and gingrich would know it would be suicidal to have him as a running mate against obama.
They would select Charles Manson is they thought he could beat Obama.
there's that pile of crap or Obama's shit sandwich.
Obama will make Romney look like one of those wooden nutcrackers you put next to your fireplace for the holidays. It's Gingrich as the attack dog that I'm worried about. Fortunately, whenever Newt is busy, he is usually having an affair....and news of that will probably break around late October of next year.
So, keep your head held high. You'll probably eating that shit sandwich for another 4 years. Are you sure that's shit, or did somebody put a santorum on your bread.
oh God! the republicans couldn't be more pathetic/degenerate. The only thing Romney stands for is being a politician.
A Ron Lawl presidency, like it or not, at least wouldn't be full of shit.
[Removed]
No, it's full of straight-jackets for his followers. The man sounds so rational and then says something straight out of looney town.
I have to agree with you and Jon Stewart on that. I too, wish he wouldn't say some of the things he does.
Can I buy one?
It's already bought.
Perry was invited to the Bilderberg meeting in Instanbul in 2007. The power elite like him. How are elections won? By money and advertising. Don't count him out just yet. [this is not an endorsement of him or any other candidate]

He's chicken fried done. That New Hampshire video will make for a chapter in future political textbooks titled...."Don't give a speech when you're drunk or stupid."
He seemed like he was trying to be neighborly but that's now how you talk to people in New Hampshire or Cape Cod anywhere in the northeast. It's not a Texas barbecue. People in the south are more open and friendly even to people they don't know.
Rick Perry is a televangelist whose church ended up being the governorship of Texas. He looks like a televangelist, uses the lingo and cadences of a televangelist, and is as corrupt as a televangelist.
That video, plus the fact that he has a heart towards Mexicans, will amplify in the ears of every Republican nutcase primary voter.
That's why educating the public about the politicians is necessary, otherwise the outcome for 2012 will not be good for anyone in this country.
Just refer to them as Mr President and Vice President. Get used to it. You guys blew it. Had your chance. and pissed it all away.
I'm down for Mitt and Newt! Woooo!
I am watching the debate on CNBC now and I realize that, besides Romney and Ginrich (and sometimes Ron Lawl), the rest of these guys all say essentially the same thing. Drivel.
Obama, and you, had better get ready for the Romney / Gingrich combination. It will be the default position of the Right and the Religious Right.

That's make a good song to sing in the soup lines.
Great. Buffoons.

And, while Mr. Gingrich was trying to prosecute Mr. Clinton for his escapade, and highlighting the morality of the Republican side, Mr. Gingrich was concomitantly cheating on his wife.
I don't mind somebody banging hookers in the White House. But, what I cannot take is a hypocrite.
[Removed]
I don't know about his... but my argument is that we voted for Clinton while KNOWING he was a hound dog. He practically ran on it and yet we were ok because he still came across as affable and competent and in the end that's exactly what he was.
Newt on the other hand just came across as a two faced bigot for berating Clinton for something he was just as guilty of while taking the "holier than thou" approach the entire time.
[Removed]
I'll freely admit that I didn't graduate high school.
I slacked off for three years taking purely music classes, turned 17, recieved parental permission to take the GED and then used that to go directly into college. There I maintained a 4.0 which I used to get into a public university to complete my BSE followed by a MS in CSC.
I'm not exactly proud of those decisions (with my exam scores I probably should have gone to Vanderbilt) but they are the ones I made and I stand by them.
[Removed]
I think you may be the first person I've ever talked with to suggest that I'm not logical enough for your liking.
To put it more plainly, I'm simply suggesting that Clinton ran as a ladies man and governed as a ladies man. The people who voted for him "got what they paid for". I'm further suggesting that Newt claimed that being a ladies man was a terrible thing and practically started a witch hunt to ferret out all of Clinton's possible infidelities all while cheating on his wife.
To reiterate I didn't have a problem with Clinton having sex, I had a problem with him lying under oath. I didn't have a problem with Newt having sex, I had a problem with him casting stones at someone for doing the same things he was doing.
They're both slimeballs, but one of them ran on being one and the other ran on being against them.
[Removed]
Clinton was married to a lesbian. He had to get a blowjob. Newt....well, he was married to his high school math teacher (no blow jobs there), some staffer (blow jobs only before vows were exchanged), and some other lady (gave blowjobs to everybody but Newt so he's still waiting there). Can't you see what this does to a person.....It will be disaster for Newt to be anywhere near the White house unless he has someone like you to blow him daily. Are you ready for that kind of commitment?
[Removed]
Do you care enough for Newt to clean his santorum daily? Come on, for the sake of the country.
[Removed]
The Republican candidates are all morons. They're actually having a contest to see who can out moron the other.
By South Carolina, they will be so extreme that even Tea Baggers like yourself won't feel comfortable in the same room with them.
[Removed]
As long as those "facts" are reported by Fox news. Go goose step of a cliff you little pissant. You don't know what our nation's political life was like before men like Newt Gingrich, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, the Koch brothers.....etc. You forget that Gerald Ford was a good man, well liked by both Democratic and Republican members of Congress. You can't recall that Barry Goldwater warned of the religious right. You equate government with failure instead of uniting us behind important causes....poverty, civil rights, going to the moon, fighting World War II and the Cold War.
To you, it's slogans without substance. Your facts are whatever make you sound less stupid. Your opinions are probably worse.
I might be the only one here, but I actually like that ticket a lot.
Why don't you just resurrect Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater.....wait, they would be liberals according to the new Right.
And JFK would be a Tea Party member. I would take Reagan (or Kennedy) over either Obama or Romney. We need more moderates. The far right and the far left are equally bad.
I'm so heartened to know that you support the Second Coming in 2012!
Ignorance is Strength!
If Ronald is to return, let's hope that he isn't so senile this time.
Reagan governed more liberally than Obama. Be careful, do not take the Lord Reagan's name in vain.
Thank you for that reminder! Speak of the Lord Thy God and look who appears!
Debt is Wealth!
Poverty is Prosperity!
Trickle is Down!
What is that trickling?
Would it be wrong if I say it's the Second Coming 2012?
I don't really look at things in terms of liberal or conservative. I really just want results.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_rankings_of_Presidents_of_the_United_States
I always found the above page so interesting for a number of reasons. One of which being the highly ranked Presidents (look for the blue). There is definitely some consensus to who they were and the most common denominator is the ability to get results.
Notice how all of them but Jackson and Eisenhower are liberal too (and they're both at the very bottom of the rankings)...
Just saying... Facts have a well known liberal bias; sometimes you just have to trust your gut.
I'm a liberal and I can't think of a single policy complaint w/regards Eisenhower. In today's skewed political atmosphere he would definitely be seen as a liberal, but I believe even by pre-Tea Party standards, he was considered part of the postwar liberal consensus on domestic policy.
Lincoln, Teddy, Eisenhower... Damn I miss liberal Republicans.
This post is a product of a serious mental condition. Basically, you are saying the Republicans alone are to blame for the current situation.
Who is responsible for two wars (unfunded), tax cuts for the wealthy (unfunded), medicare D (unfunded and a giveaway to the pharm industry), and what party has been wrong on the issues since Teddy Roosevelt?
You guessed it. Now go clean the santorum off your face.
