This is part eleventy-three of the media’s nonstop push for a boring, water-soaked, milquetoast, cucumbers and mayonnaise sandwich of a dull, uninspiring white man to be the GOP’s 2012 nominee against Dr. Utopia and the razzle dazzle the media will muster for his re-election.
Today, oddly, it’s the Daily Telegraph in the UK doing the Mitt Romney cheerleading…with cheers designed to lead the GOP off a cliff that looks suspiciously like the face of Bob Dole that’s not carved on Mt. Rushmore…because Bob Dole was never elected president…because Bob Dole, as nice of a man as he is, and as much of a hero as he is, was a dull, boring, cucumbers and mayonnaise white male candidate put up against someone with real razzle dazzle.
Please feel free to chime in if you disagree with this next bit, but we’ve come to the conclusion that British journalists are EXCELLENT at reporting in the UK and are in fact the ONLY global news outlets covering the collapse of the Church of Anthropogenic Global Warming. But, the UK papers, when reporting on American politics, just parrot whatever they read in US papers. It doesn’t appear the UK political writers are even based in the US, but are reading feeds in London and then trying their best to make sense of what’s going on here, assuming the American media has professional journalists doing the heavy lifting for them.
But, we know that’s not the case. American journalism? What’s that? Besides a glaring oxymoron.
So, what happens is this: the MSM’s Herculean push to force a losing candidate like Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty, Mitch Daniels, or someone else from the usual sausage fest of boiled meat and tapioca candidates, is not seen by the British journalists for what it really is. Instead of disregarding these psy-ops missions from the Left as the election tampering they really are, the British, who don’t seem to do this sort of thing, treat the MSM’s lies as actual facts. They buy the lies completely, and then repeat them, not having the time or resources, apparently, to step back and look at things more objectively. The British are duped because they assume American journalists are professionals whose degrees from expensive journalism schools are worth more than toilet paper.
They’re not.
So, the Telegraph starts clamoring for Mitt Romney to take the GOP nomination, adding a “u” to their “clamour” to make it super-British. They dismiss and denigrate Sarah Palin, because that’s what their American counterparts do, too. It’s all very predictable.
The other night, we were talking to a friend of ours in Florida and he’s a very anti-Palin Republican who wants “a boring white businessman” to be the GOP’s 2012 nominee. This could be a with or without sausage pick for Republicans, he says, because he thinks Meg Whitman would make a great president. He wants her because she’s a business woman, which is the same reason he wants Mitt Romney (who, for the record, isn’t a business woman, technically, but close enough). Our friend doesn’t, however, want Pawlenty, Daniels, John Thune, Haley Barbour, or any of the other destined-losers the MSM is pushing for 2012.
Our friend believes that after four years of destructive razzle dazzle, the public will want a boring person who drones on and on but who “knows about business”.
We just don’t buy that.
In fact, we think the very last time a boring person won the presidency was in 1988, when George H. W. Bush beat the more-boring (and weird-looking) candidate he was up against: Snoopy. Democrats ran a strange little man who rode around in a tank like a cartoon dog with a helmet on his head, so they lost. No offense to George H. W. Bush, whom we have come to respect and appreciate as much as his son. But, Bush was not an exciting candidate.
The Clintons were in 1992 and 1996.
“Dubya” was in 2000…against a dull, wooden, pathological liar of a candidate in Gore.
In 2004, Democrats ran Herman Munster…who lost to “that reckless cowboy” the MSM kept insisting Bush was.
Well, as it turns out, Americans liked the razzle dazzle of a reckless cowboy more than they liked someone who was for things before they were against them and flip-flopped his way through one embarrassing, dull episode after another, with his gaffe-prone ketchup queen and sugga momma at his side.
2008 had the ultimate razzle dazzle artist, Dr. Utopia, who is actually nothing BUT razzle dazzle. There’s no substance there at all. It’s 100% artiface and image. All propaganda. All emotion. All forced excitement.
Do you really think that’s not going to be pumped out at eleventy in 2012? While it’s true the hopeychangey stuff won’t work again, and the smurf blood blue 2008 campaign posters won’t be recycled, since a new color scheme and font will be market tested by then, Axelrod et all will find some new hook to dazzle with.
While Americans will indeed want to dump Dr. Utopia by 2012, that doesn’t mean Republicans should default back to the “It’s Dole’s turn” and “It’s McCain’s turn” nonsense that’s plagued Republican candidates in the past.
How about making 2012 “America’s turn” and nominating someone the people actually want to be president: like Sarah Heath Palin.
That’s a novel idea.
Since the MSM, at home and abroad, keeps working overtime to force someone bland, unappealing, and boring to go up against Dr. Utopia and his Razzle Dazzle Machine, Palin supporters need to work overtime themselves to stop the media from getting its way and picking the GOP opponent for the “Lightbringer” they think will be most likely to lose to him.
If we keep calling these people out on this, every day, and raise awareness what is happening, maybe we can stop the media this time.
1) MEDIA
2) ACORN infiltrators
3) RINO’s who still love McCain
4) Hilary supporters who think Hilary will challenge Obama
His losing is a given...
Its more like “Who’s pushing Mitt Romney to WIN to Obama in 2012 now?”
The RomneyBots are out and about and they’re mad and they’re now going to take it...
The White House that is...
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
That should be...
and they’re NOT going to take it...
I won’t support him if he’s nominated. Romney can piss off.
So...
Why would we put our number 2 guy up against him?
Please shut yer face and go home.
Sincerely
Me
And you are not alone FRiend. The Republican party will be making a HUGE mistake if they try to shove a RINO down our throats again.
Sitting it out is not an option since I do not want to punish the rest of the candidates that deserve a vote.
However, I will write in my preference for President. If they do not allow write in candidates, I will write on it anyway so that they get my mesage loud and clear.
NEWSMAX is offering Kitten Mittens book free with a Newsmax subscription.
I told Newsmax that they are barking up the wrong tree.
What a REALLY good take on Romney.
Wake up, GOP!!!!
If it comes down to obammy or Mitt Romney, I’ll vote go fish.
NO MORE RINOs.
The RomneyBots on FRed Thompson in 2008, “FRed is TOO old.”
In 2012 Romney will be older than FRed was ...
Oh noes...
While Mr. Romney has every right to run again if he wants to, I won’t be voting for him. The minute I think the GOP bureaucracy is manipulating the system to make sure he receives the nomination, like they did McCain, Bush, Dole, etc., I’m voting Constitution Party. It is not the RNC’s job to determine who’s turn it is. I know the implications of that but I have really had it with the GOPs dishonest tacticts to keep conservatism off of the table. I want a conservative alternative and a fair fight, and I want the RNC to stay out of it.
(Not if the conservatives step it up!)
Romney will be ripped to SHREDS by the same media who is touting him now.
There is no way Myth is a viable candidate against Zero.
Why put Romney in our head over & over again? If we see his name on every page, his name will be in our head constantly. Romney Romney Romney - I'm going to go mad!
>I have really had it with the GOPs dishonest tacticts to keep conservatism off of the table. I want a conservative alternative and a fair fight
I totally & completely agree.
“I won’t support him if he’s nominated. Romney can piss off.”
That’s why they want him as the nominee. Same thing with Dole, McCain and every other loser they’ve voted for in our Primaries.
