OUT OF LINE
In one of the odder election events so far, a Republican candidate who for all his flaws did have a track record of implementing a conservative program was demonized as a Communist on behalf of a man who had nothing resembling that track record, in defense of a company which benefited from tariffs and a pension bailout.
But the word has come down the wire. If you hate Mitt Romney then you’re a Communist. Like those well known members of Occupy Wall Street, Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich. So Gingrich came down to conservative talk radio, portions of which are heavily syndicated by a company owned by Bain Capital to make his apologies. Not that it will stop the establishment from baying for his blood a second time around.
Gingrich was obviously out of line here. The last thing we want is a candidate who takes the fight aggressively to his opponent. What we want is a candidate who smiles a lot at the camera and waits for the media to do his work for him. But that won’t work so well for Romney in the actual election where Obama has the national media sewn up. Sneering pieces in the National Review are not going to win the general election. Neither will declaring Bain Capital off limits. That might work on Bain Capital radio, it won’t work at all in the media.
Romney has the Republican establishment on his side in the primaries, but in a national election the establishment he faces is liberal. Which is why liberal Republicans can sweep through primaries but have a much tougher time in national elections. Standing for nothing is a good way to win party support, but a bad way to win national support.
In an Olympics worthy display of acrobatic prowess, no lesser conservative stalwart than John McCain declared that attacks on Bain Capital were right up there with Communism. “These attacks on, quote, Bain Capital is really kind of anathema to everything that we believe in. We believe in job creation, and the record of Bain Captial is to take companies that would otherwise fail and restore them to some kind of viability, and sometimes that doesn’t work, but, you know, when it always works is a thing called communism, where you keep everybody in business.”
Which just goes to show you that McCain is a Communist because back in 2008 he was leveling withering attacks against Romney’s Bain tenure. But the authentic conservatives like Romney and McCain have spoken. We will speak of Bain Capital no more, until we’re all defending Romney on it in a few months.
Only 2 things bother me about this video.
1. The dork who had chain of custody over it and let it loose in the wild. He should be spoken to sternly and given a slap on the back.
2. Those Marines should have had a pig roast to celebrate and thrown the freshly chewed bones from the pig onto these vermin swine .
Then....they should have pissed on them.
It has been suggested that the best punishment for these Marines is to make each of them drink three pitchers of beer, then to stand at parade rest while listening to a prerecorded speech by Obama - in its entirety.
The consensus is that this is a harsh punishment, but necessary to maintain good order and discipline in the Marine Corps.
It was further proposed that if any more Marines are to urinate on dead Taliban, they should do so while facing Mecca, to show proper respect.
