Watching and listening to the GOP and
conservative right attempt to sell Mitt Romney to the country reminds
me of the last time a former friend of mine attempted to hook me up
on a blind date.
The first words out of her mouth were “
she has a great personality” and I knew, right then and there, I
was in trouble.
“Great personality” is code for
ugly as sin, dresses funny and can't hold a conversation longer than
“hi.”
That' s Mitt Romney to a “T.”
Vanilla ice cream is more exciting.
The word “liar” comes to mind next.
All politicians lie. Some of them do it better than others. Take
Bill Clinton, for instance. Dude will lie through his teeth, while
all the time having his hand up your dress, and the only thing you
can do is smile.
President Obama comes close, especially
when he tries to sing Al Green or dance with somebody.
But Mitt? Ole button down Mormon Mitt
trips over the punch line every single time, no matter how many times
he rehearses it. And then he changes it the next time he tries to
tell it. Totally boring.
I have never in all of my voting life,
which currently spans 41 years and counting, precluded the
possibility of voting for a Republican. Never have, yet, although I
did go independent, have done some write-ins and one time even voted
Communist Party (full disclosure).
But 2012 is not gonna break my streak.
Mitt Max Headroom Romney ain't it. He's not even a blind date. We
already know so much about this guy, and what I know, I don't like.
I mean, why...under what logic do you
place a corporate raider in charge of a whole country? He kills
corporations for a living, while making beaucoup bucks for himself,
leaving the rest of the workers without jobs, salaries or pension
funds.
This is his job description. He is
telling you what he is going to do if we put him in the White House.
He has already said he is going to kill
public education and the department of education.
He keeps his money overseas, which
should tell you what he really thinks about America in general.
He is going to kill the EPA and allow
his corporate buds to asphyxiate us when we venture from our homes.
He is setting himself up to be a killer
of women by not supporting contraception, birth control and family
planning.
He will kill families by not supporting
equal pay for women since most families these days are single parent
FEMALE headed families.
He has embraced the Ryan Budget which
kills social security, medicare, medicaid and food stamps, which is
total destruction of the so called national safety net that alleged
christian nations pride themselves on having in place, making them
appear more Jesus-like.
Even the Catholic Bishops have slammed
Ryan and his budget for it's callousness toward poor people. But not
good ole Mitt. He is sticking by his little pal to the end.
Good ole boy's club will never die.
Mitt also does not support equality
for gays lesbians or any minority that is not white and
predominantly male.
And despite his reticence to talk about
it, has hired nearly all of George W's advisors except Dick Cheney.
But who knows, the Dickster is probably whispering from the sidelines
preserving his strength and his new heart.
The scariest of all his advisers to me
is that Mitt has hired Robert Bork. Bork is flat out crazy. He is in
a category of crazy that cannot be labeled. It's just Bork...totally
nuts...totally paranoid....endlessly angry...hates blacks and women
without remorse. Think Clarence Thomas with white privilege on
steroids.
I could go on and on about why I won't
vote for Mitt, but I won't. I will tell you he actually he lost me
with Seamus.
Bad Mitt! Bad boy Mitt!
