2012 Elections

The Republicans' simultaneous War On Women and campaigning for their vote is a bit like going on a date, being insulted and demeaned throughout it then being asked, "So, you want to get married?"

Today's GOP is the equivalent of a 1960's Madison Avenue ad agency aggressively promoting the benefits of cigarette smoking, fully knowing that if they're successful, millions will suffer and die but only caring about making the wealthy people they work for, wealthier.

A handy dandy crib card for those who know that Ryan is a bad choice but don't quite know why.

Since he was in his early 20's Paul Ryan has looked to the Gospel of Selfishness espoused by its principal prophetess Ayn Rand for inspiration and direction.

The choice of Paul Ryan is a clear and unambiguous statement that the Romney campaign knows they are losing in a big way and needed to make a Hail Mormon pass to have even a miniscule chance of winning.

Many Americans mistakenly connect being wealthy with being smart but George W. Bush and now Mitt Romney have proven that conventional thinking to be as dead as the dodo...which coincidentally has become the new mascot of the GOP.

Romney's Achilles heel in his tax returns could be his flip from "moderate progressive" Republican to hard right bully. A charitable deduction to a group like Planned Parenthood could even derail Romney's GOP presidential nomination with the right wing of his party.

Mitt Romney seems not only to be from Central Casting in appearance for the role of president, his stonewalling against revealing who he really is and what he’d really do as President makes him also look like he’s auditioning for the lead role of The Manchurian Candidate.

Romney's new campaign of "Going after Obama's biography" is code that's not that hard to break. Let's see...he's not American, he lived in Indonesia, his Father was Kenyan and Muslim, Reverend Wright led his church, he smoked pot as a teen and had an afro...where exactly is all of this leading? It's so bewildering!

So Mitt has chosen to play his cards very close to the vest. Secrecy is one watchword. Another is that he does not admit error. And the third is that he will reconstruct any value, any position, if it gets him closer to his goal.
