Romney vs Obama

Well, it's on...

What with Pope Ricky opting to go home rather than risk defeat in his home state, and King of the World Gingrich bouncing $500 checks and the Hobbit opting to wear his elven cloak of invisibility 24/7...looks like the GOP has a winna!

Willard Mitt Romney...come on down!

All that really remains is who is going to be Romney's running mate. Several names have been put forth and a few are actually campaigning for the dubious distinction. Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell comes to mind, but that would simply be boredom squared.

Can't be a woman though...already been done and badly....besides the top GOP ladies all have voted against every women's issue that has gone before Congress lately. And SC Governor Nikki can't get her facts straight when talking about her sorors and female gender issues...”No war on women” Governor please!

No guesses here. We will get the answer soon enough. I can wait.

Today simply marks the first official day of the Romney versus Obama scrum, otherwise known as the 2012 election.

Romney's inability to talk to women has been on display for weeks now. He has his wife talk for him to women, rather than talk directly to us and quite frankly, I don't like that. It's as though we women are all in that “little woman” category. You know how back in the day, when men didn't talk to women or relate to them on any level except a sexual level.

Wives were on the pedestal. Other women were on their backs. No woman was allowed to speak unless spoken to, always to be sent out of the room when they had fulfilled whatever the desire of their lord and master happened to be at the moment.

But then, he can't relate to Hispanic people, or Black people or poor people either. I mean, “Arizona should be the model for the rest of the country when it comes to immigration policy!” Really? I mean really?

If he delegates his wife to talk to the “weaker sex” who is he going to designate to talk to Black people....the chocolate version of dumb and dumber, Allen West and Herman Cain?

Tea Party likes em...but then they absolutely loved Sarah Palin, too.

We all know Marco Rubio is the HHIC...but maybe Romney will bring back Dubya or his namesake nephew, the spanish speaking one.

That's not too far fetched because Romney has already hired half of Shrub's foreign policy and economics crew to advise him.

Toss in Turdblossom and his Crossroads GPS SuperPac and you've got the George W Bush White House, version number 3.

Can end days, armageddon or the real rapture be far behind?

My head hurts just thinking about it.

Boehner's Monster

Well, looks like the monster lovingly called Teabag has broken his chains and escaped, and Speaker of the House, John Boehner can no more control his right wing creation than the fabled Dr. Frankenstein could control his.

Neither monster, Boehner's nor Frankenstein's is really human....has no human tendencies or compulsions or understanding or any emotion with the exception of pain. They may look human...have the requisite number of fingers, toes, heads, legs and arms...but that doesn't make them human.

Some philosopher once said that you lose your humanity...if you ever had it in the first place...when you stop caring about others...Boehner's monster crossed that line a long time ago.

The Frankenstein monster didn't really want to hurt anyone. He killed accidentally when attacked by the fearful villagers, who were scared of what they didn't understand. Frankenstein's monster didn't try to destroy his surroundings. He tried or wanted to live peacefully within his surroundings, in harmony.

Boehner's monster, however, is a different story. It is mean, vindictive, possessive of all it surveys, selfish and unempathetic toward anyone who does not resemble them. Boehner's monster is intent on destroying anyone or anything that prevents it from having its way. Boehner's monster bears a closer resemblence to Ripley's Alien or Arnold's Terminator.

"It doesn't eat...it doesn't sleep....it won't stop...ever...until you are dead!"

Boehner's Speakership is on the line because he can't control his monster, which isn't all that big, yet. But he needs some help from the gazillionaires who financed his experiments in the first place. Cutting off the money is the same as cutting off the head. The Teabag monster will follow the duckets right over the cliff, if they act quickly enough. Boehner may have to sacrifice himself. But it's looking like any action taken will be too late for all of us.

Another Attack Ad in Ohio

Ohioans are currently being subjected to yet another vanilla faced attack ad created by some rich guy with too much money and time on his hands. This one comes from Crossroads, GPS and is aimed at Senator Sherrod Brown and President Barack Obama. It claims Brown has voted for trillions of dollars in tax increases that will drive up the deficit.

Really?  I wasn't aware that our taxes have gone up. In fact, taxes under Obama have gone down if I'm reading the statistics correctly.

Can't attack Sherrod on health care. He voted to help the people keep their kids insured and enable those with pre existing conditions to finally get coverage. All this while forgoing government health care himself.

Brown in fact, is the only member of Congress who does not take congressional health care...never has...says he won't until health care is available for all the people.

And since the government is in such dire straits....why aren't more congressmen and women giving back their health care benefits, retirement and salaries.

They're gonna get paid regardless of whether the Country tanks on August 2nd or not. Congressional salaries are considered to be emergency funds that must be funded, empty treasury or not....check it out!
