If all the poorly articulated political and economic philosophy and the multiple contradictory and confusing major issue stands of George Herbert Walker Bush, Bob Dole, and John McCain were tossed into a blender, and the device were turned on high for a minute, the result would be a smoothie whose taste would be indistinguishable from the murky concoction that's been served up by Mitt Romney for the last five years: saccharine, bland, and utterly forgettable five minutes after it's choked down.
Is it so late in the 2012 nominating process that anyone can say with even quasi-certainty that this pasty, unidentifiable mush, served up by the Republican field's sole polished moderate manikin, is the only beverage Republicans can sell in 2012?
The anxious GOP Establishment, which has detested every conservative would-be Republican presidential nominee -- Ronald Reagan not excluded -- since 1952, is desperately trying to sell this argument right now.......
Don't believe any of it.
If for no other reason, don't believe it because the same electability narrative -- less blatantly but with equal vigor -- is being peddled by the MSM, which has been carpet-bombing Rick Perry from 30,000 feet for some three weeks now. Does any reader of this site believe that the MSM is trying to help the Republican Party avoid an electability mistake in choosing its nominee?
Or...is it not rather just slightly more likely that the MSM would try to kill off whom they fear? Has a negative word been uttered by the MSM in recent weeks about Mitt Romney? Think long and hard about what that benevolent silence might mean.

I’ve seen enough clips online where he’s hung himself out to dry with his own self-satisfied stubbornness and smugness and slowness of wit. Have you seen his one-on-one interview about abstinence education?
I really don’t think Perry is slow witted. I worked on an oild refinery project once up in Canada. They thought those “southern rubes” we slow thinking because they were slow talking. LOL, they got handed their backsides.
It’s not the pace of what he says, it is what he says when forced to think on his feet.
We know, for example, that Mitt Romney is a RINO. Some of us see Rick Perry as mostly a conservative, while lentulusgracchus sees him too as a RINO. Lentulusgracchus seems eternally upset that not everyone agrees with him.
So keeping this in mind, I believe we can best describe lentulusgracchus as a HIPPO
