“Who does Santa ripoff on his fairly tale journey to deliver gifts?”
I wrote Rush last week to beg him to drop the Santa reference. It is a missed analogy.
Santa is not a fairy tale, he was a Bishop in East Europe whose name is from the Dutch. The caricature is from Moore’s poem “A visit from. . .”
Santa does infuse the holidays with charity, it is true.
He has a naughty list. Parents used to use it for the betterment of their efforts in child rearing, producing contrubutors to society who are presently flipping in their graves.
But no one gets ripped off.
If I could come up with a better analogy for Rush, I would share the idea.
Equating Hussein with a great saint at least a wonderful American persona whose naughty list Hussein would be on for a host of issues is terrible.
How about Robin Hood?
Barack Robin Hood
I consider Romney's comments on par with him equating his wealth accumulation the same as Obama bailing out the auto industry. It ticked me off, but I still voted for him. So it does not surprise me that Romney would view the people who he needed to vote for him, that did not, as children voting for Santa.
I do not think Romney has a clue who voted for him or maybe better said who voted against Obama. A number of those voting for Romney, have lost jobs then homes due the government orchestrated economy.
Romney ignores there is on any given day 33% of Americans are leftist who have jobs, are upper middle class and including the majority of 'rich' Hollywood celebrities. The media daily is the leftist cheerleader and the majority of those 33% have always needed since their childhood to be in what is perceived as the 'popular' crowd.
I know more people who are professionals, upper income, and 'church going' who voted for Obama than I know in this 'group' that voted for Romney. The people I know that voted for Romney tended to be the 'TeaParty' mindset. Government taxation/mandating without representation is against the Constitution. Not all these people are regular church goers, but believe in God.
I firmly believe that GOP open primaries gave us Romney. AND Romney with the aid of the GOP-e convinced themselves Romney could win without putting together a cogent voter registration drive in those 'swing' states. In the past four years millions of Americans became eligible to vote and Romney and the GOP-e had no clue how to convince this segment of our society to get involved.
Liberals have been given control over our education system run by unions. Union leadership by it very make up is Communism in reality. Teachers, SEIU, and government workers all union organizations got the vote out for Obama.
In the days after this election I have read thread after thread that Romney did not receive as many votes as lord McCain did in 2008. It is not true, Romney did in fact receive more votes than lord McCain. In reality this election was far closer than the overwhelming majority recognize. Obama's campaign knew exactly down to the individual polling place where they needed the votes to 'swing' the election. Romney's GOP-e did not do their homework, and did not bother to even 'fight' for the votes they received.
Romney and the GOP-e are lazy and act just as entitled as any common welfare recipient they are itching about post election. The Romney that crushed Newt in Florida never showed up in the general election, and he lost.
