Mitt Romney -- whaddaya think???

[Ben]

His Kansas book was the last one he wrote before this

The Wrecking Crew (how the right wing, the ultra right, have effectively taken the reins of government to serve their own parochial interests -- and why wouldn't they, eh? ) came out in '08....
The majority of Americans are social democrats -- if you look at public opinion polls -- and big business knows this.
So, unleashing propaganda helps their interests. And ultimately controlling government REALLY helps their interests --
Anyway, it's for our benefit that the Koch brothers, the Pritzker family and the Hilton clan are in charge. Paris for President, anyone -- ha ha!

Don’t Feel Bad, Mitt Romney Never Wanted to be President:

Mitt never had a chance. In order to win the Republican nomination he had to become in his own words a "severe conservative".

What entertains me is the aftermath of the general election defeat and the various reactions amongst the GOP.

Some of them realize that if you demonize people of color, women, LGTB community that you may have trouble with a base mostly made up of the 1% and angry old white folks.

But there are many who think they lost because they did not bash people of color, women, the LGTB community enough and they did not do enough to supress there votes.

The food fight in the party should make for fun TV.

As for Mitt if he ran as the Governor of MA instead of the guy just right of Rick Perry and then tried to swing to the center in the debates he might have had a decent shot at Obama who through no fault of his own was presiding over the worst economy since the Great Depression (fairly well actually) and who had found that his most lofty goals whether they be eliminating Gitmo or creating bi-partsainship were pipe dreams.

BTW I don't by for a minute Tagg's BS about Willard not wanting to be President, the dude ran for 6 years, spent over $40M of his own money in "08" and change positions more often than his underware trying to get the job. He may have never wanted the work but he sure did want the power IMHO.
