Republican Rainbows Drop From the Sky -- It's Over

Edited on Tue Nov-01-11 01:16 AM by Samantha

All the rainbows in the sky, start to weep, then say goodbye
You won't be seeing rainbows any more
Setting suns before they fall, Echo to you that's all that's all
But you'll see lonely sunsets after all
It's over, it's over, it's over.

(It's Over, Words and Music by Roy Orbison and Bill Dees)

Tonight I am humming the unforgettable 1964 song sung by the late great Roy Orbinson. Republicans should click the link below and pop a cork on a fine bottle of Main-ly New Hampshire Blueberry Wine while listening to “It’s Over.” Why? Because the 2012 Presidential race unofficially ended today, and perhaps the solace of fine wine while listening to an equally fine old tune will ease the pain of inevitable loss in next year’s Presidential contest.

Republican rainbows dropping from the sky as the sun set included Rick Perry and Herman Cain, leaving only Newton Leroy Gingrich and other candidates to challenge Romney in the primary. None of those remaining can command a majority of the votes from the party base, siphon off Democratic votes or deliver the Independents.

With the release of the video of the Rick Perry speech in New Hampshire, indeed that setting “son” before he fell could have easily echoed to you that’s all that’s all, judging by the bizarre looks of things. Rick Perry was not simply playing the part of a political fool. He took off his mask and revealed he truly is a political fool, one destined to fail, with the only variable in play being the question when. Rick Perry revealed the real Rick Perry, and for him it is over.

Replicating the George W. Bush model, Rick Perry rode his horse into this campaign with little to qualify him to be President of the United States. As Governor of Texas, his primary duties are those of a public relations nature inasmuch as that State is run by its Lieutenant Governor. The actual hands-on work of conducting state business falls to the Lieutenant Governor for several practical reasons; but that policy leaves virtually nothing for the Governor to do but smile while asking for donations.

When Texas author James C. Moore released his new book “Adios MoFo: Why Rick Perry Will Make Americans Miss George W. Bush” people who didn’t have a clue about who Rick Perry is were given some big clues deep from the heart of Texas itself. But as for Rick Perry himself, his horse threw him and having nothing else to ride out this race on, it’s over.

Simultaneously as Rick Perry was dropping from the sky, he was passed by the parachuting Herman Cain. There is probably little more I can add about Herman Cain that you did not hear over and over today in the MSM. But in case you missed it, let me give you a historic reference, “I never had sex with that woman.” Or that other woman either .... For Herman Cain, it is so over.

But back to the playbook of politics, one of these, Perry or Cain, was destined to fail in challenging Romney for the Republican nomination, but today they defied the odds and together they fell.

And so for Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan, Karl Rove, Koch Brothers, thank you for playing, and this song is for you:
