Oh The Nominating Process Part 93

Well, this is a posting to report on this weekend's latest nonsense:

Well, Mitt Romney won the Nevada caucus ... great success ... except he ran against no one because no one else thought it important ... so congratulations, Mitt you beat "none of the above".

The news reports that Hilary beat Obama in Nevada. Well, she beat him in the popular vote but not in the ever important delegate votes. Obama won that important contest but since the New York Times and other media decision makers only care about perceived popularity ... then, Hilary would be similar to Albert Gore who won the popular vote but never became president. Will Hilary rejoice in being just like Al?

McCain continues to rise from the dead by winning in South Carolina. Who declared his campaign dead? Well, it would be the same media that now declares him the riser from the dead. Fortunately he was able to out religious Huckabee, be more awake than Thompson and since Romney was off in Nevada beating no one, he was able to finish fourth.

And what of the other candidates? Well, the media can not spell their names, so they can not write front page stories about them. Therefore, the population with the attention span of a mosquito will not take the time to learn about them. And since only money talks and they get no attention, then they get no money and ergo no attention.

So, we are left with the modesty qualified.

Hilary ... the woman of experience ... I lived in the White House ... I lived in the White House ... and that experience she has from being elected to the Senate on the strength and power of being Mrs. Clinton. She did volunteer work coming out of college and married an up an coming charismatic, young Bill. Her experience then moved to sleeping with a Governor and the President. Her resume is enhanced by all those lunches and dinners with dignitaries. As a person with no security clearance, she learned about sensitive issues from pillow talk. There were of course her chances for meaningful successes. She chaired the health care reform task force. You remember that task force. Their proposal was dead on arrival before it was presented to the Democratic Congress. Hilary could not get her proposals through her own party. So, of course she will be more successful as the President with a Democratic Congress. Let's not forget her fine handling of the White House travel department ... she arbitrarily fired them ... then forced to rehire. Her resume would not be complete without remembering Whitewater. The little scandal which began with sweet Hilary being rewarded for her legal work by substantial financial gain. Let's not forget her delaying the investigation causing taxpayers to pay millions by making supporting documents disappear for several years. Let's not forget her ever so convenient position changing from being pro war to anti war ... from voting for tax cuts and now says they were unwise ... for trying to make herself appear to be Mrs. Conservative and now moving back to "I am oh so really Liberal". So, would she make a good President? Yes, if you liked Nixon and Bush II who were so good at presenting one image and really being something else when in office. There is one redeeming factor here. If you elect her, the cost of protecting her husband will be reduced because you will get two Presidents for the price of one. The woman of experience ... I lived in the White House ... I lived in the White House ... then you can elect Chelse because she has similar experience except for that sleeping with the President part.

Obama ... a man with little practical political experience ... a man with no specific policies except "change" and "hope for a better future" ... a man who has not told us how he will get the Congress which is full of the insiders he says he is not one of to go along with his "change". Yes, he did live in other countries as a child. Yes, he is only half black but the black leadership will tell you he is not really black since he and his father did not suffer here in America. Of course, for those good old boys in the North and South, Obama is black enough. Let's not forget religion because the press has helped so much to make it a criteria and a measure of political electability. He is living his life as a Christian which except for that half black thing would make him eligible to join the white Christian President club. Alas, his father was a Muslim. Like many religions, the religion of the father is the religion of the son regardless of the son's conversion to a different one. So, had his father been Jewish, Jews would hold him as Jewish. So, Muslims hold him as a Muslim. May not what he wants but in his quest for Presidency only other people's opinion count. So, by buying Obama with his long list of unknows and only promises are we getting another unknown like we got with Bush II?

McCain ... he was a prisoner of war ... he was a prisoner of war ... he was a prisoner of war ... and by the way he has spent twenty years in the Senate. He was known as an outsider and not someone who could get much done because he was outside the mainstream Republican party. Oh yes, he did lead the campaign reform ... with that other individual outside the meaningful semi-functioning Senate ... Russ Feingold. McCain ... was a prisoner of war ... he was a prisoner of war. So, twenty years in the Senate and unable to work within his own party, friend to the one Senator from the Democrats who can also not get anything done in his party, Feingold. McCain, in 2000 told us why Bush II should not be president ... and then in 2004 why Bush II was so good that he should be re-elected. He voted against the Bush tax cuts, so how can he be a Republican? He supported Bush on immigration but not the position of the Republican party. So, vote for McCain because then you will not worry about him following any meaningful Republican position ... and he was a prisoner of war ... he was a prisoner of war.

Mitt Romney ... he is Mormon, he saved the Olympic Games, he was nicely liberal to become Governor of Massachusetts, 2003-2007, liked Massachusetts so much that he decided it was better to get out and not run for re-election, supported government mandated health insurance for everyone, supported gays right to lawfully be married, and supported a women's right to choose. Oh, don't worry about those policies because now that he is running for President of the United States he had realized that those policies are not right for the rest of America. Poor Mitt also has that Mormon thing to deal with because although he is a white male which is one of the two requirements to be the president, he fails on the other requirement. The second requirement is that the president be Christian. Now, don't tell me that those are not the requirements unless you can point to one President who did not meet those criteria. Even President Kennedy had to apologize for coming close on one criteria because he was Catholic which for some reason is not Christian enough. The other Christians had trouble with the concept of a Catholic, so how do you think they will deal with a Mormon? So, Mitt, even though your willing to change all of your opinions to make Republicans like you more and your nice and you are willing to spend your own money to get elected but unfortunately, you do not believe in Jesus in the way Christians believe. Since we know from Huckabee this is a Christian nation, you just don't make the grade.

Duncan Hunter ... thank you for dropping out because I do not know anything about you.

John Edwards ... you missed the boat when you got that $400 haircut ... your staff obviously must have been working for Bush II ... so sad but you forgot the details of life that image is everything and yours ... well it lacks more credibility than Hilary's emotions.

Fred Thompson ... sorry the president must be able to work past five o'clock and may even be asked to move quickly ... so sorry but you got to pick up the pace which you have no history of moving quickly.

So, again and again we are being sold people who you not hire for any position except maybe a reporter on the 6:00 news because there you can give us all the opinion and none of the facts.
