RepublicanT Party Desperation

.

I too admit it. When it comes to politics and the RepublicanT Party, I love the smell of desperation. And of late it is a scent that wafts from every pore of the RepublicanT Party and its cheerleaders, a distinct odor that permeates the air, as well as the airwaves.

"Despite my absolute joy at watching the GOPers trip all over themselves trying to put lipstick on what is clearly an obnoxious, arrogant, ill-informed pig, I can’t help but feel a bit sorry for their plight. It’s not easy to stand behind a serial liar and pretend he’s honest, especially when those lies are so easily exposed with a quick Google search on anyone’s home computer. It’s not easy to pretend you’re enthusiastic about a candidate who consistently insults the citizenry, along with foreign dignitaries.

It’s not easy to come to the defense of a presidential wannabe who is running for office on the basis of his business acumen, his experience as a governor, and his alleged “saving” of the 2002 Olympics, when none of the above can be discussed nor assessed – hard-drives having been erased, records having been expunged, and tax information being stubbornly withheld from view. While the Etch A Sketch theory may hold some sway with the bobbleheaded among us, the average citizen tends to view such obfuscation as just that – an obvious attempt to keep the truth hidden, and the facts dispensed with as an easily erasable inconvenience.

So what the Republicans are left with is an inarticulate, nonsense-spewing empty suit, a candidate who can’t open his mouth without confirming his own idiocy, a job-outsourcing draft-dodger whose allegiance to his country’s financial well-being is tucked away in tax-free offshore bank accounts, a man who doesn’t have the common sense to avoid bragging about how he enjoyed firing people from their jobs in a time of high unemployment, a car elevator-owning rich man’s son whose only source of income has been the inheritance of wealth and the misery of hard-working Americans – and little in the way of anything that can remove the stink of all of the above."

It's true though, They are back peddling big time to try to cover his ass. How anyone can support Rmoney is beyond me.
